 -- takes about 56 seconds for a DM Generation loop to complete
 -- if you build a bigger one, increase TimeForParticleToReachFinalBend.
 -- ColliderActivationDuration should be fine.
 -- if you build a smaller one, experiment how long it takes the particle to
 -- reach the final bend, then add 2 seconds onto it (or dont... just experiment and
 -- see what works for you :]] )
