In-depth description
The reload command in Stellaris is a practical tool for developers and modders that refreshes the game assets without needing to completely reboot the game.
What that means is, it will reload all textures, models, music, localisation, and other types of asset files that the game uses. It precisely reloads all .gfx and .asset files.
It's particularly handy when you're making modifications or additions to the game, because you can see your changes applied nearly instantly.
For example, if you've created a mod and want to test your changes, instead of having to turn off the game and turn it back on again to see the changes, you can simply input the reload command and see your modifications applied.
