Imminent Eruption
The "Imminent Eruption" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Imminent Eruption

Geological alert systems warn that a volcanic eruption near the main settlement on … is likely to occur within the next year. Investing in a controlled pressure release could allow the lava flow to be harnessed for energy production. Crews could also be put on standby to harvest magma directly from the eruption and strain it for precious metals. Alternatively, we could focus on evacuating civilians and supplies from the area to minimize risk. We can also continue to monitor the situation before committing to any action, in case the predictions are inaccurate.
