V1.0.9.5
– Your Payment Strategy and Compensation Tier settings now stick after a save and reload. They were resetting to defaults because the mod read its settings too early, before the savegame was ready.
– Renamed Cost Mode to Payment Strategy and Wage Level to Compensation Tier in the Wage Settings tab.
– Removed the duplicate row labels under each section header so the tab reads cleaner.
