Helper Profiles V2.1.2

Helper Profiles V2.1.2

Give your farm a consistent team of workers and choose who takes the next AI job. Helper Profiles expands the standard helper roster to 20 permanent worker slots (A-T), with a clear status overlay and a two-tab Helper Management screen.

Manage your team:
Choose which workers are available for hire in each savegame.
Switch individual workers ON or OFF roster, enable all workers, or disable the others while keeping your selected worker and any active workers.
OFF-roster workers are excluded from selection, the overlay and new hires. Their saved appearance bindings and HelperPayroll assignments are retained when they return.
Active workers cannot be switched OFF, and at least one worker must remain ON roster.

Choose who works next:
Cycle through available workers using a shortcut.
Prefer Selected mode hires your chosen worker when free, falling back to another available worker when needed.
First Free mode hires the first available worker in roster order.
See your selected worker, the next worker expected to be hired, and which helpers are available or active in an automatically sized table.
The overlay pages between A-J and K-T, can be shown or hidden, and offers configurable position, size and appearance.

Personalise your helpers with optional companion mods:
AvatarSwitcher lets you bind saved appearance presets to individual helpers through the Appearances tab. Bindings are saved separately for each savegame.
HelperPayroll adds a read-only role display plus live accrued payroll-period costs in both the overlay and Helper Roster. With daily payroll, completed work remains visible until settlement. Manage roles, pay rates and wages in HelperPayroll.

Helper Profiles works without either companion mod; custom appearance bindings and payroll role information require the corresponding mod.

Default keyboard controls:
Semicolon (;): cycle workers.
Shift + ;: switch hiring mode.
Right Ctrl + ;: open Helper Management (Appearances and Helper Roster tabs).
Right Alt + ;: show or hide the overlay.
Controls can be reassigned in the game’s control settings.

Single player only.
Not compatible with Hired Helper Tool or conflicting helper-roster expansion mods. Helper Profiles disables itself for the session when an incompatible roster owner is detected.

V2.1.2.0
Added live HelperPayroll payroll-period costs to the overlay and Helper Roster. In dailyPayroll mode, completed work remains accumulated until payroll settlement.
Fixed texture and layout issues in the Helper Management appearance and roster screens.
Added support for compatible companion mods to request a specific available worker without changing your selected worker or hiring mode.
Fixed helper continuity with AutoDrive so an assigned worker is retained when AutoDrive temporarily releases and reacquires a helper.
Fixed intermittent Helper Profiles vehicle keybind loss after switching vehicles by using the vehicle’s actual active-input state when registering actions.
Removed a default menu key assignment that conflicted with the base game MOVE LEFT control.
Reduced routine diagnostic output written to log.txt.
Aligned ModHub version numbering with the existing public GitHub release history.
