Bed Roughness and Initial Layer Line Width %

Cura and other slicers have an Initial Layer Line Width % setting to set the first layer wider than the other layers for making sure it sticks to the bed. I know KISSlicer has a Bed Roughness setting. Does anyone know how to translate Bed Roughness into an Initial Layer Line Width % setting?

Well, now I don't think there is a way to convert KISSlicer's Bed Roughness to Cura's Initial Layer Line Width % as it is explained here:
https://github.com/daid/Cura/issues/769
So it looks like Cura actually slices the first layer w/ a different Extrusion Width based on the % increase of the first layer as input by the user. This eliminates over extrusion while giving the extrusion a wider footprint to grab the bed.
I'd like to have this option available in KISSlicer as I'm sure it will come in handy in the future when that little extra grab is needed.
