Modifying the growth rate for all tree species on a Vintage Story server ensures a uniform environmental balance, preventing certain woods from becoming disproportionately rare or difficult to farm compared to others. This global adjustment allows administrators to standardize the server's progression speed, whether they want a fast-paced building experience or a slow, realistic timber industry. By applying these changes universally, you maintain ecological consistency across all biomes, ensuring that every forest worldwide responds predictably to player harvesting.

Note: The change will only apply to new saplings. The higher the multiplier rate, the longer it will take for saplings to mature.
