Day Speed
This control sets how fast the in-game days progress. The time selected is how many real-time minutes will pass for one in-game day, less time on the slider means the day will progress very quickly. In general, the shorter the day the quicker things like fish spawn for the player and the faster crafting gets completed. The slider has four options:
- 15 minutes - The day progresses at the fastest rate. Each in game hour is roughly forty-five seconds.
- 20 minutes - Each in game hour is roughly a minute.
- 30 minutes - Each in game hour is roughly a minute and a half.
- 40 minutes- The day progresses at the slowest rate. Each in game hour is roughly two minutes.
This slider can be changed at any time, allowing the player more (or less) time on specific days, if there is additional work the player feels they need to accomplish prior to going to bed. If the player feels they have completed their work for the day, and it is not 6pm yet the player can decrease the game time to speed up time to quickly get to 6pm so they can end the day and start fresh.

Seasonal Pests
Seasonal Pests are hazardous NPC's that have a chance to eat the players crops in the morning. Each season has their own set of pests. The player can combat the pests by laying down Scarecrows. Since each season has a different pest, there are different scarecrows for each season.

- If un-selected (), the player will not have to worry about seasonal pests, or putting up scarecrows to defend against them.
Seasonal Crop Effects
Each season has a different crop effect on players' crops. None of these effects hurt the player's crops, it only forces the player to additional steps for the crop to continue to grow. Totems can be placed down, to reduce the chance of these effects happening.

- If selected (), this option allows seasonal effects to occur.
- If un-selected (), the player will not have to worry about seasonal effects, or putting up totems to defend against them.

Display
Resolution
Game resolution is the visual ability to display a set amount of pixels on a monitor or TV screen. Using pixels as a measure, the player will find quite a few different resolution options in this menu and should select the one that best fists their screen. The more pixels that a resolution has, the clearer and sharper the image will be.
Zoom Level
This is how close the camera is to the player's character. The slider has three options: 2x, 3x, 4x. 2x is farther away from the player character, while 4x is very close up.
Here is an example of the difference. 2x is on the left, 4x is on the right.
