Features

Employee Roster & Hiring

• Browse and hire from a pool of 20 unique employee templates, each with distinct skill ranges and personality traits
• View your full workforce roster with detailed stats: skills, traits, wages, fatigue, and current assignments
• Fire underperforming employees when needed

Skill System (3 Skills, 10 Levels)

Each employee has three skills that grow through on-the-job experience:

• Driving — Affects fuel consumption and AI work speed
  • Levels 3-4: -5% to -10% fuel consumption
  • Levels 5-6: +5% to +10% AI work speed
  • Levels 7-8: -15% fuel
  • Levels 9-10: -20% fuel, +20% speed
• Harvesting — Affects crop yield
  • Levels 1-2: -5% to -3% yield penalty
  • Levels 3-4: Normal yield
  • Levels 5-6: +3% to +5% bonus yield
  • Levels 7-10: Up to +15% bonus yield
• Technical — Affects equipment wear
  • Reduces wear from 0% (level 1) up to 62.5% (level 10)

Exponential XP Curve

Skills progress quickly at low levels but require real investment at higher levels:

Level	XP Required	Approx. Playtime
1 to 2	100	~2 hours
5 to 6	506	~11 hours cumulative
9 to 10	2,563	~50 hours cumulative

Experience is earned automatically while employees perform tasks (driving, harvesting, fieldwork, etc.).

Trait System (Up to 2 Traits)

Each employee can have up to 2 personality traits that modify their performance:

Trait	Effect
Careful	-15% equipment wear
Reckless	+20% equipment wear
Hard Worker	+10% work speed
Quick Learner	+25% XP gain
Fuel Saver	-10% fuel consumption
Frugal	-10% wages

Traits stack multiplicatively when an employee has two traits.

Milestone System

Employees earn milestone titles as they level up, providing permanent bonuses:

Level	Title	Reward
3	Apprentice	Unlocks intermediate tasks
5	Companion	+5% permanent wage bonus
7	Expert	Recognition badge in GUI
10	Master	+5% additional wage bonus, title displayed

Milestone achievements trigger in-game notifications.

Training System

• Train employees at any time by spending money to instantly level up a skill
• Training cost scales exponentially with skill level
• Cooldown between training sessions: 2 days (levels 1-5), 3 days (levels 6-10)
• Strategic choice: invest in training or let skills grow naturally through work

Workflow & Task Management

• Assign employees to specific tasks: sowing, cultivating, plowing, harvesting, mowing, mulching, baling, and more
• Skill gates ensure employees meet minimum requirements before taking on advanced tasks
• Task assignment respects vehicle compatibility and employee qualifications

Task	Required Skill
Sow	Driving 2
Cultivate	Driving 3
Plow	Driving 4
Harvest	Harvesting 4
Bale	Technical 3
Mow	Driving 2

Wage & Payroll System
