Unity ml agents time scale support and limit?

[Norite-dev]

Hi,
Is there any time scale limit for training in Unity with ml agents? Or only default time-scale will work with MuJoCo, when training an agent?
Thanks!

@Balint-H would you be so kind to clarify this?

It is definitely feasible to have higher timescales than 1, but I do recommend to increase the maximum allowed timestep as well.

Check out this from the Unity docs.

Personally I do like to keep the timescale at 1 and instead push parallel environments to the cpu limit (for me I hit that faster than the memory limit). It will end up similar in terms of wall time for learning than pushing the timescale higher (in my experience).
