Speed

20 / 20
Vanilla
Max Boost
How fast you gather, level, tame, and breed. Does NOT make the game easier — just faster.

Difficulty

20 / 20
Easy
Brutal
How dangerous the world is. Wild dino power, player fragility, tame weakness. Right = punishing survival.

Quality of Life

1 / 20
Vanilla
Max QoL
Decay timers, spoilage, structure durability, build limits. Right = less tedium, more forgiving.
