Bug reports and commands

Why isn't it working?

  • Shift+E on a hireling opens its panel; the Problems list there says why its orders or chores aren't being met (no seeds, a missing ingredient, a pen too crowded to breed, a torch out of reach, not enough food for the board).
  • Its hover and the board's Roster tab say what it's doing, or what it's waiting for ("Paused: no room left for Wood").
  • Can't find it? Call to board on the board's Roster tab brings it back.

Logs

Logs go to BepInEx/LogOutput.log and BepInEx/HiredHands.log, one line per event ([VFH] … evt=…). On a server, ClientLogsToServer collects every player's Hired Hands log on the server too, so one place has the whole story.

These need no cheats:

  • vfh_debug All on turns on detailed logging;
  • vfh_log_mark <text> adds a marker, to find a moment in the log;
  • vfh_dump_state logs every board and hireling;
  • vfh_crops, vfh_recipes list what the Farmer and Cook know;
  • vfh_navlinks show draws the doors, stairs and ladders the board found.

Report bugs on GitHub with what happened, roughly when, and the logs.
