animals take forever to tame

[Death2Gnomes]

single player game I have changed the pet tame timer setting to max (10x) and mininum 0.001 and its made no difference in how long it takes to tame. it takes longer than the 6h the wiki says for hyenas and other animals

i think if you start a tame and then change the settings then it doesn't affect the taming timer, so you need to do the setting then start taming, if you are in single player it should work just fine , if you set to 0.001 then taming should be almost instant

For most settings in the game, lower is faster. Why? Because, in most cases, it's a multiplier. Basic math.

when you play tons of different games with lots of similar settings you rely on tool tips to be accurate and specific as possible, math is the last thing people think about here, yea its a multiplier, but what exactly is it multiplying. Some tool tips are worded better than others and doo well at avoiding any confusion.
I interpreted the tool tip to mean over all speed was increased, that 10x 1 hours is .1 hour or 6 minutes, simple mistake, had the tool tip been a little more forthcoming, there might have been a different deduction.

What I didnt know is that once started that multiplier is locked until the animal or thrall is tamed.

I just put them in with their food and forget about them until the next day when I go back they are done. Some higher level creatures seem to take longer to me.

I'm not on a single player sever so I have to take what I've got.
