Adaptive layers and Support Z offset do not seem to work?

I noticed with Adaptive Layers checked on, it wanted to go as thin as 0.05 layers and figured it would be an interesting test.
Sounds like an interesting test of how much you can underextrude - unless you're using a very narrow nozzle (0.1mm or maybe 0.2mm) you're just not going to be able to print a layer that thin, which obviously makes it hard to adhere to.
Important part: Even if you can print that thin, that makes the support Z distance huge by comparison - normally it's supposed to be one layer, maybe two.
You can change Experimental > Adaptive Layers Maximum Variation for how much under/over your set layer height it will go.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
