rc_mower_addon — Server Owner Manual
The optional expansion for rc_mower. Core is the mowing job: drive out, cut the grass, get paid. This adds everything that happens around the mowing — a crew to do it with, three more tools with their own work to do, grass that has to be carted off the lawn and sold, and hidden valuables in the piles.
It is a pure add-on. Core keeps working exactly as before if you remove it, and every feature in here can be switched off individually.

What it adds
| Feature | Switch |
|---|---|
| Crews — up to 4 players on one yard, shared truck, split payout with a crew bonus | Config.addon.coopEnabled |
| Three extra tools — trimmer, leaf blower, watering can, each rented against a deposit and each with its own kind of yard work | Config.addon.extraToolsEnabled |
| The carry loop — cut grass leaves piles; a pitchfork carries them to the truck, the truck gets dumped for money | Config.carry.enabled |
| Hidden loot — rings, watches and wallets turn up in the piles and pay out as a tip when the job settles | Config.addon.lootEnabled |
| Trailer disposal — the loaded trailer is sold at a disposal site on the map | always on with the carry loop |
Where settings live
| Setting kind | Where | Restart needed |
|---|---|---|
| Everything in this resource | config.lua | Yes |
| Payments, XP, levels, yards, vehicles — core's economy | Core's in-game admin panel (/mower_edit) | No |
There is no separate admin panel for the addon: it deliberately has no economy of its own beyond the task pay rates, so it stays a file you edit once.
Two things to set before you go live
Config.carry.dumpPointsships as a single placeholder next to the depot. Put real dump locations on your map, or the carry loop has nowhere to unload. See Configuration → The carry loop.- The four tool items must exist in your inventory resource, or players cannot rent anything. See Installation → Inventory items.
