Features

• Manual idle points via world-space JSON (appended after existing/default idle points)
• Visualization idle points (blue = existing/default, green = manual)
• Authoring Mode:
  • Capture new manual idle point (F9)
  • Force reload points.json (F10)
  • Remove last manual idle point from points.json for the nearest property (F11)
• Property worker capacity expands to match the idle point count (never shrinks mid-session for safety and stability reasons)

Settings (*.cfg edit or ingame mod managers like ModsApp)

• Authoring Mode: Enables the in-game authoring overlay and markers.
• Hotkeys:
  • Capture Key (default F9): Capture your current position/yaw as a manual idle point for the nearest property.
  • Reload Key (default F10): Force reload points.json and redraw markers.
  • Remove Key (default F11): Remove the last manual point for the nearest property.

Authoring Workflow

1. Enable Authoring Mode in "More Workers.cfg" or ModsApp.
2. Markers: blue = existing/default, green = manual. Numbers show per-property indices.
3. Stand near the target property, press F9 to capture your position/yaw.
   • The mod adds a live idle slot immediately so hiring unlocks right away.
4. Optional: Press F10 to force a reload of JSON and redraw markers.
5. Press F11 to remove the last manual point for the nearest property.
   • The green marker disappears immediately; The actual idle point remains for this session for safety and stability reasons (possible bugs/crashes when removing idle points that are currently hosting a worker).
   • Actual idle point(s) will be removed from the game automatically on next load of game/save, if the removed idle point was hosting a worker in your save; the worker will not load without an idle point and when you save the game without the worker loaded, he will be lost.

Hot‑Reload Behavior

• Capture (F9): Writes to JSON and appends a live idle slot immediately; capacity expands to match the new idle count.
• Remove (F11): Writes to JSON and hides the removed point visually; the corresponding live slot is pruned safely on next reload of game/save.
• Reload (F10): Reloads JSON and redraws markers (visual only); full reconcile happens on game/save load/restart.

File Locations

• Config: UserData/More Workers/More Workers.cfg
• Manual idle points: UserData/More Workers/points.json

Changelog

[0.1.1] - 2025-11-09

• Image fixes in readme.md

[0.1.0] - 2025-11-09

• Authoring Mode with in‑game visualization (blue = existing/default, green = manual) and index labels.
• Hotkeys: Capture (F9), Reload (F10), Remove (F11).
  • Capture writes to JSON and appends a live idle slot immediately; capacity expands to match idle count.
  • Reload refreshes points.json and redraws markers (visual); full reconcile on next scene/load.
  • Remove pops the last manual point in JSON; visually hides the corresponding marker; the live slot is pruned safely on next reload.
• Snap‑to‑ground enabled.
• Capacity is expand‑only (max of baseline vs current idle count); never shrinks mid‑session.
• JSON format (world-space) at UserData/More Workers/points.json.
• Marker dedup and clarity: skip drawing MW_MANUAL transforms as "existing"; avoid duplicate blue/green at the same spot.
• Added property anchor: Hyland Manor at (164.00, 11.76, -67.00).
• Authoring HUD overlay improvements:
  • Lowered position to avoid new HUD icons (safe-area aware).
  • Semi-opaque black background for readability.
  • Larger font size and retained shadow for contrast.
  • Dynamic sizing via text measurement to prevent clipping; fixed degree symbol (°).
