# Settings reference

> Every Refined - Graphics setting, by tab of the options page, with its unit, range and default.

Refined Graphics has 186 settings. Each one is a row on the options page, under **Options > Refined - Graphics**, except the few listed at the end.

## Where your choices are kept

Your choices are saved in `settings.txt` in `%APPDATA%\7DaysToDie\Refined\Graphics`. It holds only what you changed, one `key = value` per line. A change saved there while the game runs applies within a second.

Beside it, `settings_reference.txt` lists every setting with its default. The mod writes it again at every start, so edit `settings.txt` instead.

In `settings.txt` a switch is `true` (on) or `false` (off).
