What does this setting do?

The default of 24 hours is deliberately chosen so that every player experiences the opening regardless of when they play — an evening player gets in just as a morning player does.

Shorten the duration and that shifts: at four hours only those online at the right moment get the bunker. On servers with a fixed group that plays together that is no problem — on open servers spanning time zones it systematically disadvantages part of the player base.

What to watch out for

Short windows disadvantage time zones

With only a few hours of opening, the clock decides who gets bunker loot. On internationally populated servers a long duration pays off.
