Documentation and examples for the recalc_fleet_presence command in Stellaris.
recalc_fleet_presence
This command recalculated fleet presence cache, and is useful when loading old saved games.
In-depth description
The recalc_fleet_presence command is a console command used in Stellaris, a grand scale space strategy game. As the command's name suggests, it's used to recalculate the fleet presence cache.
The fleet presence cache is a data storage method used by the game to keep track of the current status and location of all the fleets that exist in the game.
Sometimes, when one loads an old save game, the data kept in this cache might not match the actual state of the game due to various updates, changes, or game engine improvements that have occurred after the save game was initially created.
The recalc_fleet_presence command forces a recalculation of the cache, essentially refreshing and updating this data to match the state of the game at the time the command is executed.
This can resolve some potential gameplay issues, such as inconsistencies with fleet positions, movements, or battles that might otherwise occur because of these outdated or wrong cache data.
