 By default, the ``allowSingletO2`` flag is set to ``False``.  See :ref:`representing_oxygen` for more information.
 
+Note that ``speciesCuttingThreshold`` is set by default to 20 heavy atoms. This means that if a species containing 
+20 or more heavy atoms is generated, it will be automatically split into fragments to save computational resources. 
+If fragments are not desired, the ``speciesCuttingThreshold`` may be set to an arbitrarily large number.
