This command reloads the canal bitmaps.
The reload_canals command in Europa Universalis IV is used to refresh or reload the texture bitmaps relating to the canals in the game.
Texture bitmaps are the graphical representations used for the visual aspects of the game, in this case for canals. Canals in EU4 are important strategic tools, allowing movement of fleets through land provinces.
Thus, the purpose of the reload_canals command is for graphical or visual debugging. It will not typically change anything about the gameplay, the in-game mechanics, or the strategy.
You usually would want to use this command if you're seeing graphical issues or bugs specifically related to canals and you want to attempt a quick fix without reloading the entire game — the command essentially asks the game to 'redo' the canal graphics.
So, if for example, a canal isn't displaying correctly on your game, you would use this command to try to rectify that error.
