Game Speed Settings Decoder

Hello, is there a decoder somewhere for game speed settings? It would be great to see exactly what each setting corresponds to in initial time and incremental time added per move.

In setting up a Beyond the Sun turn-based game, there's something like 9 different game speed options. The "x turns per day" is sort of helpful but it would be really helpful to see exactly what each means.

Thank you! Haven't been able to find the answer on the forums or elsewhere eon the site.

If you use the old lobby (the "PLAY NOW" link at the top), when you set up a table and choose a speed setting, you get more details below. In general, all settings give you +X time per turn, capped at maximum Y. For 1-4 turns per day, just divide 24 hours by the number of turns per day, and that's X. For faster turn-based games, divide 12 hours by the number (you get to choose which 12 hours are the playing hours). For real-time speeds, I think they are game-specific, and they change depending on the average time taken by all players.
