Returns the server’s intrinsic “growth parameter”. This growth parameter is a number typically between 0 and 100 that represents how quickly the server’s money grows. This parameter affects the percentage by which the server’s money is increased when using the grow function. A higher growth parameter will result in a higher percentage increase from grow.
