Here’s some advice on a few of them
- hide rain time in safe areas. I probably just wouldn’t use it, but it’s up to you
- show underwater shortcuts is probably good, as it just makes things more visible that are supposed to be visible.
- fast map reveal - up to you. The map revealing slowly is intentional game design, but if you think it’s too inconvenient you can turn it on.
- alpha reds just adds bonus challenge. You won’t have to worry about red lizards for a while, anyways.
- arena creatures cannot flee is just personal preference and only affects arena mode
- key item tracking is nice to have, imo
