Amend terms before payout
Choose Campaign → GM contracts and acceptances, open the contract and choose Manage contract terms and payout. Company Contracts also provides Edit company terms and Complete contract links.
GM contracts and acceptances shows each contract's saved start month and year, sorted newest first. Linked contracts use their shared start date. Contracts without a recorded date appear last and say Start: Not recorded; the current month is never substituted.
Shared terms changes the contract type and dates for all accepted companies. Baseline financial terms apply to future acceptances; edit each company separately to change accepted pay, transport, support, salvage, command, scale or optional completion bonus. Record a reason; the audit retains before and after values.
Imported contracts may have no recorded shared baseline. Proposed baseline defaults are labelled and never replace individual company terms automatically. A baseline change invalidates pending negotiations; players must save them again. Past payments are not recalculated.
Shared terms edits the saved contract type and dates. It does not substitute the current campaign month for a missing historical start date. Run Database updates to recover missing shared dates only where every participating company agrees; unresolved dates stay blank for GM review. Saved contract types remain selectable even when absent from the current catalog.
Define or edit shared financial baseline opens the separate baseline fields. Unknown values stay blank; editing type and dates alone does not invent a baseline or change accepted company pay. Existing recorded dates and paid-out contracts are never automatically overwritten by the repair.
Database updates also applies confirmed corrections from imported source evidence. The confirmed Tukayyid contract start is July 3048; June 3048 is between-contract maintenance. This repair updates linked company, shared-contract and offer dates once, without changing maintenance transactions, balances, financial terms or saved settlement receipts. Later date corrections are preserved.
Spreadsheet formula completion pay
Company terms includes Calculated contract payout. Its formula is base SP ? accepted scale ? base pay percentage ? contract months ? contract-type factor ? (employer factor + modifier) ? (0.5 + 0.2 ? starting reputation). The source sheets use 500 base SP, House Government 1.2 and Normal Employer 0. Starting reputation is the saved contract-start value, not current or ending reputation.
After installing v200, run Admin > Database updates to recover missing formula inputs for active unpaid spreadsheet-imported contracts. The repair uses saved source relationships, preserves negotiated terms and additional bonuses, and never posts money or changes paid contracts. The original sheet formula and result remain linked as evidence.
For other contracts, enable Use spreadsheet completion payout in the company terms and enter reviewed factors and starting reputation. Save with an amendment reason. Current accepted terms drive recalculation; changing the shared financial baseline does not overwrite company terms. The standalone Dobless calculator remains a preview.
Successful settlement includes formula pay, additional bonus and approved repair reimbursement once. Broken contracts pay none of these. Review the unpaid confirmation carefully; historical amounts already included in an opening balance must not be paid again.
Company terms, completion review and saved receipts show a Contract completion bonus breakdown: base SP, scale, negotiated pay percentage, months, contract-type factor, employer factor/modifier, starting-reputation factor and each running subtotal. Additional bonus SP is a separate optional amount. The review updates the amount payable to zero for a Broken contract while retaining the formula breakdown.
Review repairs
Repair expenses lists company-paid costs from stored spreadsheet rows and linked app repairs. Imported evidence creates no ledger debit. Gross costs, medical bills and purchases are not automatically reimbursed.
For Guerilla contracts, the equipment repair action defers support reimbursement until completion: the company pays now. The expense and amount actually paid are linked to its contract.
Associate an existing ledger expense only after verifying its company, contract and repair purpose, and that it does not duplicate imported spreadsheet evidence. Legacy mission reports without a reliable contract link need this review.
Rows beyond the import cutoff are retained but unchecked by default at completion. Review their dates before including them.
Complete contract
Choose Complete contract / receipt. Review every company’s optional bonus and select eligible paid repairs. Set bonuses on individual company terms; zero means no completion bonus. Optional Dobless formula previews are not automatically paid.
For Guerilla contracts this campaign workflow reimburses selected company-paid repairs at 200%. Other contract types receive no deferred repair reimbursement here. Existing support coverage and historical expenses are not recalculated. The Hinterlands appendix also describes doubled activity costs and doubled support/battle-loss terms; this payout workflow does not automatically double all activity costs.
Confirm the completion payments have not already been paid or included in imported balances, select Completed, Victorious or Broken, then Complete contract and pay out. Broken pays neither bonus nor reimbursement. Draconis Reach Victorious adds one reputation; Hinterlands completion adds none; Broken uses the entered adjustment.
Payout posts each company’s bonus and reimbursement atomically and saves a permanent receipt with terms, expense evidence and ledger references. Repeat payouts and later amendments are blocked. The contract is closed to further acceptances. The party stays on its current planet; use Travel and arrival to go to a hiring hall.
