In-Depth Description

The planet_size command in Stellaris is used to alter the size of a selected planet or celestial body within the game.

Upon entering this command followed by a number, you will change the size of the selected planet to that number.

The size range is not unlimited — anything above 78 can cause the celestial body to move backwards, which can potentially disrupt gameplay.

This command can be quite beneficial as the size of the planet or celestial body can affect a multitude of factors within the game.
