FS25 Personnel Management V1.2.0.0

FS25 Personnel Management V1.2.0.0

Personnel Management brings a persistent employee system to Farming Simulator 25. Meet applicants, hire suitable employees and assemble a team that develops over time.

Every employee has a name, portrait and personal background. Experience, reliability, loyalty and specializations give each helper an individual profile. Assignments and significant events are documented in a personal career history.

Features

• Conduct job interviews while some applicant attributes are initially hidden.
• With job interviews enabled, one of the three attributes, experience, reliability or loyalty, is displayed as an approximate range.
• Each interview allows up to three questions, with the attributes for further information chosen by you.
• Additional questions reduce an attribute’s range and may ultimately disclose its exact value.
• The applicant’s salary expectation becomes visible when the interview has ended.
• An interview may be paused and resumed at a later time.
• As a new employee spends time on assignments, the attributes that were still unknown are revealed.
• Settings allow job interviews to be turned off, making all applicant attributes visible immediately.
• In multiplayer, other players on the same farm may follow the interview. The first authorized player who opens the interview window leads the conversation.
• The applicant market contains people with varying backgrounds and attributes.
• After hiring, employees permanently join your farm’s workforce and may receive supported helper jobs.
• Assignments provide experience and enable employees to develop specializations.
• The training menu displays employee progress and offers the option to select specialization training.
• Learned specializations may be activated or deactivated, while their current status is displayed in the menu.
• Applicant and employee profiles contain different text variants.
• Career histories document hiring, finished assignments, training and salary decisions.
• Employees continue gaining experience and developing while they complete assignments.
• Reliability determines how dependably an employee works. An unreliable employee may interrupt an assignment.
• Salary decisions and other events influence an employee’s attachment to your farm. Low loyalty may result in a resignation.
• Every employee has an individual salary. Salary requests can be checked centrally and accepted or rejected separately.
• As employees get older, they may be dismissed, resign or announce their retirement. The applicable notice periods apply.
• Employees may be selected for transport work and given a priority order in the transport management window.
• Use Ctrl + M to open the dedicated Personnel Management menu. It includes the applicant market, employee profiles, training, settings and an overview of your farm’s personnel development.
• When a supported helper job is started, the employee selection window presents available staff, portraits, attributes and professional development.
• Settings allow various effects and features to be adjusted to suit your play style.
• The game contains a detailed help section.
• Personnel Management supports AutoDrive, Courseplay and FollowMe.
• With Courseplay, an available employee can be selected for a job.
• AutoDrive uses employees assigned to transport work and observes their specified priority.
• FollowMe jobs need an additional employee for the following vehicle.
• The mod supports multiplayer and personnel data specific to each farm.
• The server processes personnel actions and checks permissions as well as farm ownership.
• Existing savegames can still be carried over.
• Activity tracking for specialization progress has been improved. Recognition cannot be guaranteed in every situation because equipment and mod combinations vary.
