Every OverRider setting with its range and default value. Stay times default to 45 to 300 seconds, page load wait to 30 seconds, threads to a safe maximum of 10, and link clicking is on by default at 2 clicks per visit and 2 levels deep.
Every setting, its range and its default. Settings marked global apply to all projects; the rest are per project.
