Assistant Control

Helper Control allows you to configure the payment for standard AI game helpers directly in the “General Settings” tab. The mod retains the standard game system for paying assistants but allows you to change the percentage of money deducted for the assistant’s work.

Features:

• Toggle control of assistant payments on or off.
• Set a general payment percentage for all types of work.
• Set individual payment percentages for specific types of work.
• Option to revert a specific type of work to the common value.
• Settings are saved separately for each save slot.
• Payment range: 0% to 300% in 10% increments.
• A value of 100% means standard game behavior.

Types of Work:

• Cultivation / plowing
• Sowing/planting
• Fertilizer/spraying
• Harvesting
• Mowing / working with grass
• Bale pressing
• Transport/driving
• Other work

How It Works:

When the game charges an AI assistant, the mod detects the current job type and applies the specified payment percentage. If a separate value is not specified for the job type, the overall pay percentage is used. If a separate value is specified for the job type, that value is used.

Examples:

• 100% - standard payment for the game.
• 50% - the assistant receives half the standard pay.
• 0% — assistant payment is disabled.
• 200% - the assistant receives double payment.

This mod is compatible with Courseplay and other assistant payment mods. Helper Control modifies the base pay of the game's standard AI helpers. When a helper is launched via the H key, only Helper Control affects its payment. Courseplay has its own payment setup for workers launched through Courseplay. If Helper Control and Courseplay are used together, Courseplay employees can be paid using both multipliers: base game payment × Helper Control × Courseplay.

Examples with Courseplay:

• Helper Control: 100%, Standard helper via H: gets 100%
• Courseplay: 500%, Courseplay employee: receives 500%
• Helper Control: 50%, Standard Helper via H: Receives 50%
• Courseplay: 500%, Courseplay employee: receives 250%
• Helper Control: 0%, Standard Helper via H: Receives 0%
• Courseplay: 500%, Courseplay employee: receives 0%

For predictable results, it is recommended to leave the payment of Courseplay workers and other mods that change the payment of assistants at 100% if the cost of assistants is configured through Helper Control.
