Server Setting Tooltips misleading

Game mode: Single-player
Type of issue: Misc
Server type: PvE
Region: EU

Several server setting tooltips are misleading.
E.g.
“Crafting time multiplier - this multiplies the speed at which items can be crafted”
However it does not multiply the speed but instead multiplies the crafting time by the chosen factor. Speed is proportional to the inverse of the time. In game, a smaller factor leads to a shorter crafting time, hence a larger crafting speed. Thus a correct tooltip would be “this multiplies the time spent on crafting an item”

Another example:
“Day time speed - changing this multiplier will multiply the time spent between these hours.” However in game it multiplies the speed and not the time. A larger multiplier will lead to a short time spent between these hours.

Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

open the server settings
hover over the tooltips

Hey @nik

Welcome to our community and apologies for the frustration.
We’re aware of this and our team will revise those tooltips in a future patch to make them less confusing.
Thanks for the feedback.
