Manual Labor Plus

A mod designed to buff appliances that typically go underused, such as the mop line or table consumables, so players feel they have a larger variety of useful appliances to purchase during pre-overtime runs and less dependency on upgrading specific appliances.

The Manual Labor Patch is broken into main 5 categories: Counter, Cookers, Mop Line, Table Items, and Footwear. These changes are set to "Enable" by default, and can be toggled on/off, but the game does have to be reset for the changes to take affect.

Tooltips for these appliances have been updated to provide details on what these appliances can do and all modified appliance will have a "+" by their name in-game while modified. This only applies to the English text, as I don't know how to easily translate this for all languages.

NEED to RESET game after changing any of these settings so the game can registers most changes.

Regarding multiplayer, only the host needs the mod for the modified effects & prices to take affect for everyone. But if not the host, the mod won't don't anything except alter the info box that only they can see. Players without the mod will see unaltered info box.

Footware changes works differently, as players need the mod in order to have the affected changes, even when not the host of the game.
