Description
SIncLib (or Software Inc. Library) is a bunch of gameplay-enhancing tools. This is the fifth release and the first for Beta 1. It has three features currently but I have plans to add more over time.

The first feature in this library is Team Manager. This is a tool that will optimise a software team by pulling staff from other teams if they have staff more suited to the current project.
So, let's say you have a team developing a game that requires System, Audio and 2D specialised developers. If the team doesn't have those skills your game is going to suck. But what if you already have those skills in your company in other teams but don't know where. The game currently doesn't make it easy to manage staff and find the right skills and this is where our tool comes in. Simply select the team you want to optimise, the teams you want to draw developers from and whether you want to adjust the HR settings to match. The tool will now move out developers who are not up to the job and replace them with employees with the right skills and quantities.

The second feature enables out-of-stock notifications for products you didn't develop, such as products acquired in a takeover or products from an IP trade

The third feature is a stock management option. Enabling this option will automatically purchase stock at the start of each day you are running low keeping stock levels at x% * whatever your last months sales were. So for example, if you sold 10,000 physical copies last month and you set the % to 200%, the tool will buy enough stock at the start of the day to have 20,000 copies in stock. As sales dwindle, less copies will be kept in stock. This works well if sales increase or decrease gradually but you can still be caught out of stock if sales spike. Also, if you are entirely out of stock it will not order anything as last month you sold 0 physical copies and 200% of 0 is still nothing!

Feedback and ideas are very much appreciated.

Autobuy is buggy for subscription software, it tries to print/buy based on total active users from previous month, not new copies sold.

1.6 support should be available now

seems to be incombatible with beta 1.5 :/

Is it right... (First feature)
Recommended designer team size from in my game is 10. But your mod will only add 6 designer to the team.

The mod seems to be broken ?

I could have a look but I'm not 100% sure what you want. @nanjoutai. Would you be able to sketch up a rough idea of what you imagine the UI to look like so I know I understand?
