Speed

10 / 20

Vanilla

Max Boost

How fast you gather, level, tame, and breed. Does NOT make the game easier — just faster.

10 / 20

Easy

Brutal

How dangerous the world is. Wild dino power, player fragility, tame weakness. Right = punishing survival.

Quality of Life

10 / 20

Vanilla

Max QoL

Decay timers, spoilage, structure durability, build limits. Right = less tedium, more forgiving.
