V2.2.0.0
BIG UPDATE
PLEASE READ THE CHANGELOG ENTIRLY
The Pro-Staff update is here!! Your helpers are now a real team you build up over time instead of a pile of interchangeable workers. Back up your save first, just to be safe.
[ Hiring Hall ]
– Daily hiring limit of 5 a day, resets each morning and sticks across save/reload. The panel shows how many you have used.
– Trusted employees pin to the top with a star. Saves, and shows for everyone in multiplayer.
– Earn your Masters through experience on the job. They are no longer offered for hire; Experienced workers start appearing once your crew has put in hours.
– Timed rotation – the hall now refreshes once per day instead of refilling on demand, and the pool survives a save/reload so it is not a free re-roll.
[ Worker Dossier ]
The Pro-Staff panel (ALT H) is now a master-detail dossier: click a worker for their skill and fatigue gauges, lifetime hours and jobs, a recent job history, and their base to effective wage. Hire, fire with severance, assign to a vehicle, and mark trusted, all from one place.
[ Under the hood ]
– Multiplayer – roster, lifecycle and job history sync to clients from the host.
– Job continuity – a worker re-binds to their vehicle when a job resumes after a reload, instead of a duplicate being hired.
– Farm Tablet – the panel steps aside when the tablet is open, so two overlays never fight.
– UI fixes – dashboard wording matches the wage tab (Payment Strategy / Compensation Tier), the duplicate Effective Rate header is gone, and the tier unit now follows the chosen strategy
[ Notes ]
Old saves load fine. Console: type workerCosts. Open the panel with ALT H. Big thanks to Arissani for the ideas behind this one. Shout if anything looks off.
