[WIP] Contractor Mod

Game Dev Tycoon modding
#1

Tired of being a contractor and feel like hiring your own? Now you can! This mod lets you pay money to hire contractors to add design and tech points to your game!

How it works:
Once you get past the first level, you can start hiring contractors! Simply start making a game, click anywhere that isn’t on your staff, and you can start hiring contractors. You will see two sections for design and tech. Within each of those are sliders that allow you to see how many points you can get for a certain price!

Features:

  • Boost your game scores with contracting work!
  • Useful at any stage of the game
  • Works like a normal menu item

Downloads:
Pick it up on the Steam Workshop or GitHub

Having trouble?
In order for a mod to work, you must restart the game after starting it. This mod has no extra requirements, and has been tested on multiple machines, so please read the instructions to make sure you are following the right process. If you still can’t figure it out, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll respond to you within the day.

This seems like a fabulous mod. It’s like a cheat mod, but it’s not at the same time.

I really do like the concept of this mod. However, one thing I do suggest is making tech/design point more expensive. I took a look at the source code and noticed (apart from you using my stock exchange mod as a base, haha ;)) that tech/design points only cost 2K each! I can see this as acceptable in the beginning of the game, but once you have millions to spend, 800K for 400 points seems like a very cheap deal imo.

That’s a really good suggestion. I’ve still been toying with the algorithm for cost, and I was thinking of something along the lines of it being more expensive the more money you have, but I’m still thinking it through.

Your mod has been my encyclopedia for modding so far :slight_smile: so thank you for that. I’m just now realizing I forgot to rename one of those functions, so I’ll go ahead and do that. My bad.
