effect Console Command

The effect command allows the execution of effect scripts.

Effect scripts in Stellaris refer to a set of instructions or operations to be carried out, especially when certain conditions are met.

It is these scripts that rule or dictate a great number of the game's engine, specifically events, as well as diplomatic actions and other elements or aspects of the game.

For example, an effect script might govern what happens when a specific event occurs like a victory in a battle or establishment of a new colony, including the rewards or outcomes that the event results in.

The effect command allows you to manually trigger these effect scripts, meaning you can cause the event described in the effect script to occur immediately, regardless of whether the conditions specified in the effect script are met.
