Helper Profiles V2.1.2

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. Choose who takes the next AI job and manage worker availability for each savegame.

Features

Manage your team:

• Choose which workers are available for hire in each savegame.
• Switch individual workers ON or OFF the 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 to the overlay and roster screen. 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.

Changelog

Changelog 2.1.2.0:

• 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.
