Hello,

I would like to know how to set the number of running unicorns. I need it to adjust the RAM consumption and failed to find any specific information about it on this forum and on the net.

I am looking for information such as the location of the correct file, the name of the line to change, if there is some precaution to take, etc.

I suppose that after the changes, it is necessary to restart/rebuild the software. How to do it properly?

Thank you for your time.
