What does this setting do?

The dynamo is the fallback when a battery is flat and no spare is at hand: it charges by hand, slowly, but without equipment. This multiplier sets how much charge one round of cranking delivers.

A higher value makes stranded vehicles recoverable instead of a total loss — especially valuable on servers where spare batteries are rare.
