Realistic Worker Costs

Add a new layer of financial management to your farming operations with the Realistic Worker Costs mod. This mod introduces realistic wage costs for hired workers, making farm management more challenging and strategic. Perfect for players seeking more economic depth and realism in their farming experience.

Main Features:

• Configurable wage system: Choose hourly or per-hectare payment
• Three wage levels: Low ($15/h), Medium ($25/h), High ($40/h)
• Skill-based pricing: Workers with higher skills earn higher wages
• Full in-game settings integration
• Console commands for complete control

• Your chosen wage level or custom rate

Settings Options:

• Enable/Disable: Toggle the mod on/off
