For example, if a contract is set to build a road between two points, the contractor performing the work can open the contract in their side menu and press 'Job Finished', which will trigger a detection if the job is indeed complete. If so, the contract will be paid out according to the agreement and automatically closed.<br /><br />The 'Custom Clause' is a special clause that allows players to describe in words what they would like done. If a contract contains such a clause, it must be manually approved by the client (auto-accept may not be checked), since auto-detection can't determine when it's finished.<br /> <br />When auto-detection is unchecked, the contractor will click 'Job Finished' when they believe the job is done, and the contractor will then either accept or reject the completion.
