There are 8 cycles so if youset it to 1.5 then it will take 12 real hours for the plants to grow and be ready to harvest. If the Day/night cycle is set to 3 then it is 4 in game days and 12 real hours. If the crops are not harvested in time they will rot. It takes the plants 1/3 of the growing time to rot.
12

[range 10-100]
Determines how many animals can be seen on the server. A high number of animals may result in Lags! A value between 0 and 100 may be set.

WARNING! Big numbers might result a heavy server load. We'd recommend 50 or 100, but you can always experiment on your own hardware Amount of animal spawn points and may result in a maximum of spawned animals at once. (range: 0 - 100)

Real life hours per in game day. Affects speed of crops and trees growth (range: 0.5 - 24). So if it's set to 1 then 1 hour real life is 24 hours in game. 12 hours of day and 12 of night.
3 1 day is 3 hours in real life



object decay rate: (object decay rate)
[range 0-100]

better have that port and +1 +2 port numbers opened and routed if needed. For instance, if you set that number for 26000, you will need to have 26001 and 26002 to be opened also.

5. Prim Pick Axe
6. Prim Saw

9. Ten Apples

This is a good list. However as I did a lot of terraforming and sawing, something everyone is gonna do a ton, it is very annoying to make a new saw or new shovel every 30 shov's or sawing action. I suggest, if that doesnt take away too much of the immersion to make the shovel a proper shovel of decent quality. Soon even that one will be worn out and need replacement (in my experience). Saw can be a normal saw of normal quality. The normal saw wears less heavy than the shovel.

10 Apples is good. Its enough to get arount the entire island once without the need to grab food. We just need to explain that as soon as a new person finds a bunch of apple trees to stock up on apples. I had a stock of around 50 before I started a proper terraforming or woodcutting session.
