6. The `OverrideOfficialDifficulty` value can be between 1.0 and 10.0. This value should be set to your maximum desired level, divided by 30. For example, if you want your max level to be 300, then set this value to 10 (300 / 30 = 10). If yo u want your max level to be 150, then set this value to 5 since (150 / 30 = 5).
