Additional infill for wall thickness

Dear all,

I have only a view things I would change on Kisslicer, one is it's way it generates thicker walls (maybe to meet wall thickness parameter) if they are going inside.

What I mean are the lightgreen and dark blue zig-zag lines.
Why cant you just generate more loops instead?
The printer is very much stressed on these zig-zag and the file size and print time is also biggger.

p.s.: This happens also on straight walls as well, I just choose this one recent file I needed to print for my wife...

Because then there would be no control over the number of Loops in a different situation. Besides, the Sparse Infill that satisfies the Wall Thickness can do so without having to complete an entire circuit that a Loop requires. IOW, it isn't a Loop unless it completes back to itself. Generating another Loop, just to satisfy Wall thickness has MANY pitfalls that you may be unaware of.

I'm having an issue with this as well. I don't want the quick zig zag motion the extruder has to make to lay down that line.

Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Overall I really like this slicer, but I can't see my self continuing with it if I can't control the zig zag infill.

Anything?

under "number of loops" set it to a sufficiently high number to achieve the wall thickness you want

note that the craftware slicer used 5 loops, while kisslicer is only set to use 3
