Contract Manager v1.0 fs25-mods

Description:

Contract Manager grants the server admin control over field contracts, ensuring fairness for every farm. It functions on dedicated servers, in hosted multiplayer games, and in single-player mode, using only the game's built-in menus. WHY THIS MOD On shared servers, contracts were easy to exploit and difficult to manage. Farms could accept a harvest contract, sell the crop elsewhere or pass it to another farm, and simply let the contract fail. Rewards couldn't be aligned with the server's economy, and admins had no way to intervene. Contract Manager was created for our community server to address these issues. WHAT IT DOES Product protection: contract crops can only be moved between the vehicles of farms working the contract and can only be unloaded at the designated delivery point. Dropping crops on the ground or handing them over to another farm is blocked. Once work has begun, the contract cannot be canceled; if it fails, the crops collected so far are reclaimed. Admin rules include reward multipliers with minimum and maximum limits, failure penalties, partial payouts, active contracts per farm, daily and monthly quotas, board size and generation interval, contract duration, types and weights of contracts, harvest share retained by the farm, leased vehicle costs, distance and difficulty-based pricing, reputation, chain and NPC bonuses. Additional details in the contract overview: time remaining, potential penalties, expected yield, amount to deliver, and progress. Contract Manager interface in the ESC menu: a comprehensive, sortable table displaying all contracts with Active, New, and History tabs. Multiplayer features: reserve a contract for a few minutes, share contracts with partner farms, and split rewards based on contribution. Admins can refresh the contract board, force-cancel contracts, transfer them, or assign them to farms. HOW TO USE Settings: ESC > Settings > Contract Manager. Only the admin can modify these; each player can view their own farm's statistics. Contracts page in the game, bottom bar: C = Reserve, Invite partner, Accept partnership, Leave partnership. Space = Decline invite. X = Refresh board (admin). If a key is already in use, the next available one is shown; the bar always displays it. On a gamepad, use the button indicated in the bar. Contract Manager page: select a tab, choose a row, and click an action button. Confirmations are required for irreversible actions. NOTES Install the mod on the server and on every player’s game; all users need the same version. In single-player mode, multiplayer-only features are disabled and shown in grey. When FS25_BetterContracts is active, Contract Manager disables its own contract rules to prevent stacking; admins can re-enable them via “Apply on top of BetterContracts.” Settings file location: modSettings/FS25_ContractManager.xml
