Description:
Overview

What does this mod do ?

BetterContracts automates the contract process to make it more consistent and usable later in the game.
Choose which stages to automate, which preset mode on how much work to do, and how many bugs you wish to fix before release.

Select which stages are automated for more control, how many bugs, or just let the mod handle it all.

Choose to allow contracts to be prioritised, so teams only work on 1 contract at a time, speeding up each contract and making them more likely to meet the deadline. This works with different teams on the design and dev phases, along side multiple teams in each phase.
P.S, The game automatically starts contracts if they have sat for 1 year, so don’t hold to many !

Ideal for speeding up the early game, or using contracts in the late game for discovering a designers creativity. Keep teams busy without flooding your work item view.

Check out the options for configuration options.

Mod is working as of 1.6

What’s next?

The mod is a QOL mod at the moment, but in the long term i hope to add new content, that will allow more options in the types of company you wish to play. A few of those ideas are:

A new role, "Contract/Deal Manager"
The new role that would be able to find new and better contracts / deals, and auto assign them to teams. Possibly if skilled enough, they could help negate some of the negatives or extend the contract time, at the cost of their time.
