In Creality slicer, which settings would you change to reduce the amount of surface area from the supporting structure that makes contact with overhangs on the model you are printing.

For example, if you are printing the object pictured below, and the green area is the support structure, and the red area is the overhang that requires supporting, how would you decrease the amount of green that touched the red?

I'm asking about dialing back the surface area contact on "any" style of support, not choosing between different styles of support

Creality's slicer is forked from Ultimakers Cura slicer and afterwards further developed as a minimalistic slicer.

If the options are similar, you can look at Cura slicer support options.

The amount of support is controlled by the option called Support density in Cura, the lower the percentage, the lower the amount of support.

enter image description here This model has triangle support with three different densities: 15 %, 30 % and 45 %

Looking at a Creality slicer screenshot from 2021:

You might want to look into Fill amount (%).
