EmployeeTweaks

A collection of employee-related tweaks.

Features

  • Automated unpackaging!
  • Designate a packaging station as unpackaging station using a clipboard menu
  • Set a route for your handler from a storage entity like a storage rack or a loading bay to the station
  • Set a destination for the station, such as a storage rack or a mixing station
  • The handler will automatically pick up packaged product, unpack it at the station, and deliver the unpackaged product to the destination
  • Botanists can now use equipment such as Soil Pourers, Pot Sprinklers and Big Sprinklers, greatly improving their efficiency
  • Quality is now taken into account when employees are consuming product
  • For Athletic, Energizing and Focused higher quality will provide a greater boost than base game, while lower quality will provide a lower boost than base game
  • For Sedating higher quality will reduce the penalty, while lower quality will increase the penalty
  • New Filter option in the Filter dropdown menu - Apply Item to Filter
  • When this option is selected, the current item in the slot will be applied as a allowlist filter for that slot
  • Holding Shift while clicking will change it to Apply All to Filters, which will apply all current items as filters for their respective slots
  • Holding Ctrl while clicking will cause the filter to be applied as a denylist filter instead of an allowlist filter
  • Preferences for adjusting employee capacity limits per property at runtime
  • Configurable with any mod preferences manager solution, such as ModsApp, allows for easy adjustment when you need one more employee slot for a Cleaner
  • Preferences for adjusting employee max object assignments
  • Configurable with any mod preferences manager solution, such as ModsApp, lets you set max counts of: pots for Botanists, stations for Handlers, routes for Handlers, stations for Chemists, bins for Cleaners. Requires a game restart.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
