Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2025 4.0.37]

[JuanSinTierra]

It basically translates to this:
HR: Charisma * 3 + HR Skill * 2 + Intelligence * 1 + 5 bonus
Supply: Focus * 3 + Supply skill * 2 + Charisma * 1 + 10 bonus
Marketing: Charisma * 15 + Marketing skill * 10 + Focus * 5 + 0 bonus
Research: Intelligence * 3 + Researching * 2 + Focus * 1 + 10 bonus
Production: Focus * 3 + Production skill * 2 + Intelligence * 1 + 10 bonus

I'm pretty sure those were the formulas at some point, but the actual values have changed. These are the values from cheating the stats on a girl a checking on the Job Statistics on the Detailed Information screen

HR: Charisma * 3 + HR Skill * 2 + Intelligence * 1 + 10 bonus
Supply: Focus * 5 + Supply skill * 3 + Charisma * 3 + 20 bonus
Marketing: Charisma * 15 + Marketing skill * 10 + Focus * 5 + 50 bonus
Research: Intelligence * 3 + Researching * 2 + Focus * 1 + 10 bonus
Production: Focus * 3 + Production skill * 2 + Intelligence * 1 + 10 bonus

The tooltips say something else though, for instance, marketing says "(3*charisma+2*skill+1*focus)*5 Market Reach", I have no idea if the tooltips are just wrong, or the Job Statistics are wrong, I'm assuming the former is wrong, since I've been using Job statistics values to balance supply and production and never had a issue with it.

Yes, I think that you are mostly correct. I only translated the information provided in the tooltips.

It seems however, that the detailed information isn't really correct either.

I just did an experiment where I put Stephanie in marketing, put all her stats at 0, checked that detailed information was showing 50 market reach in job statistics... but actual result was 0.
Increased all her stats and skills to 1 and checked details again, now showing 80, but actual result was 60.
Increased all her stats and skills to 2 and checked details again, now showing 110, but actual result was 120.
Increased all her stats and skills to 3 and checked details again, now showing 140, but actual result was 180.

Company efficiency at 100% and also checked if happiness, sluttiness, obidience or opinions made any difference but it didn't.

Ophelia is a pre-generated NPC? in other words, is it possible to correct information about Ophelia yourself by editing someone of rpy files?? (of course, you can work with her "by touch" - write down information about her preferences and with this information on a piece of paper and work without touching her "detailed info" and without causing the game to crash.)

She is created in \game\Mods\People\Ophelia\hair_salon_room.rpy and you can modify most of her characteristics in that file.

how to spy on the current girl's pregnancy status? Well, that is, during sex, what variable should I look at to find out if I knocked her or not, should I continue to have sex with her (in the sense of the current session), while she still has energy, or can we already stop, because she is already pregnant?

There's a function call you can use while speaking to her the_person.is_pregnant() which will return bool True or False.

1 does it make any practical sense to do incest "love" instead of "like"? my family has incest in the "Like" position - but will "love Incest" give something?
2 How are skills trained in girls? I mean oral experience or vaginal... only through post-trance training or normal sex (how long does it take for example an oral skill to train this skill?) of course, if only post-trance training, then there are no questions, because I already know this myself. But if there are other ways - tell me more, please.

Loves incest gives you the option to convince mom and sister to permanentely accept anal sex by telling them that you know that they want more.

Other than that I'm guessing that it also gives a bonus to sluttiness (or at least removes the penalty)

nice mod <3

which name i need to use?

don't need a name. Just interact with her so that the character interaction screen is open. Then type it just that way. the_person always points to the active character on the screen.

 

[K-zr]

You don't. Use opinions instead.

So you just chat with them and say you love something to change their opinion on it?

what about non-active characters? i can peek mom, aunt. sis and cuz - cannot (well maybe i use wrong names)

no no no.. you cannot change their opinion via phone chat... for changing opinions use you power Luke... ahem i mean use trance for implying needed (for you ofcoz) opinion hehe =)

but chat is a useful thing - for free it can give +1 to the love of the girl who called you via chat.
well, or you, having spent 15 units of energy, you can earn +1 to the love of the girl with whom you communicate via chat.
or NOT earn - if you answer wrong hehe =)

Is that a serum? or You just need her to have high suggestibility?

 

[ramvivat]

to enter into a trance - the main thing is to have sex. and when suggestibility = 0, girls enters into a trance, though very reluctantly, but they do.
sometimes you’ll fuck a girl all the way to the point of losing energy - but she doesn’t give a trance. and the other - ready after first kiss! =)

train your sex skills - very usable.

Cool Thanks!

 

[ramvivat]

Cool Thanks!

high suggestibility serum - only helper but not a panacea. best result - high sex skill (if you prefer cunnilingus for sent girl into trance then you need train oral skill and cunny cunny cunny your target girl) + suggestibility serum...
but - i repeat - all from this not important and can be omit if your friend dicemaster throw good dices for you =)

The comment you are quoting is in response to someone wanting to use the cheat menus built into the mod.

If you want to change someone's opinion without cheating there is usually only one way - get them into a trance by making them orgasm (A higher suggestibility will make this easier) and then take advantage of their trance.

For some opinions there is a nanobots mechanic in the game - a special extra trait for serums that will enhance specific opinions.

Some story characters will have their opinions change as their story progresses.

And for your employees you get the option to change their opinions on certain subjects through Sarah's storyline.

---

Speaking to someone and being given the 5 choices ranging between love and hate of an opinion affects how much of their love stat you will gain. If your opinion matches theirs you get 3 love, if your opinion is adjacent (e.g. they love, you like) then you will gain 1 love, and if their opinion is extreme and your opinion is opposite-extreme (e.g. they love, you hate) then you will lose 1 love.
