Also work says it takes 3 AP but really it's using all 5 AP which refresh for the next action on normal.

If I could make a suggestion, maybe add a way to upgrade parts to the next rank up. Like say you scrap 5 EcoSkins and you get 1 HardSkin etc etc, though to make it a little more balanced the upgraded parts start at 1% integrity and 2-3 random defects until your expertise is at least A in that part, after witch they start at 10%-30% integrity and 1 random defect.
It advances the time slot and refreshes AP, but if you use 2 AP before working you can still work.
So no, it uses 3, you just waste 2 by not using them before working.

It would be nice to be able to do something with the dozen sets of Plastan Arms in the inventroy that I'm never going to use. I'm not sure combining them makes a lot of sense in context though, unless there's a trader that offers 5-gets-you-1 exchange deals

I know i need an editor/proofreader, i really do
But current content will likely change, so any work done on cleaning texts may be wasted after update or two.
Agree about giving some info about difficulty/stats during intro. Added to todo list. Probably will be next update.
General idea is:
F - you suck
D - bit below average
S - amazing
Bot and MC levels are not directly comparable, in general.
There is no "good" or "bad" build, it is more about playstyle/challenge, during testing finished hard mode starting with all F, just because i know what can happen and where. So basically stats are more about "lowering difficulty", not "must have".
Most of texts are kinda stubs right now, like work interaction you mentioned. In-game explanation is "reprogramming iris color is very easy task, you just plug cable in, upload pattern", so no xp
When i get to adding more content i will try to address such logic/plot holes and just generally add more variety to repeatable content.Check Journal - Notes. It will be updated as you play game, visit places, talk to people and so on. Important stuff will go there.
RNG is GOD, your sacrifices weren't generous enough
Plus chances aren't exactly 100% indeed.Have "make things bit less random" on my todo list, will rebalance things one way or another next few updates.
Thanks for feedback!

Work require 3AP to do, but if you have more than 3, rest will be used to give you bonus to money earned, xp gained and chance of events. So AP is not wasted. I will add explicit log line to work interaction mentioning it next update.

When testing i usually used low-level parts for repair orders, sex-focused bots for club or just sold on net. Plus you can get xp from repairing these.
Pro-Tip: repairing defects is faster than repairing integrity and give better xp per AP.
Does the "Techie" mode help out during work? I have one bot set to that with electronics and mechanics at B but MC is still getting hit with massive mood hits during work because he has to clean out bots.

Mood hits during work can be lowered by having Clerks, but still there will be minus. Clerks also help make more money/xp/event during work. Techie help you to repair actual bots/parts.
I have three bots as my clerk and it seems like the amount of money I get is basically the same. The best strat is selling a bot on the club with at least C in Sex.
Another role I can recommend is a trainer that helps you train other bots faster.

Would like to have a total for both the pending debt and expenses. Right now it's easy to see I need 7k but I am sure that will get larger further in the game

It adds, but yes, i probably will rebalance it to be less random. Club is indeed one of best if not best way to make money right now. Thought about trainer/helper/personal assistant role, likely will add something like.
Really don't want to add too much info on screen, plus paid on different days, so total number kinda pointless. Generally days left string will be red if you don't have enough money right now, telling "go make more money like right now, you fool!"

Social for the player does not level up when working with social on the bot. Would think you would still get some xp out of it.

Design choice. It may change, but for now i plan to give xp only from certain interactions with human beings.
Come to think about it, next update you will be able get bots with existing skills from dump site/flea market, maybe i will add some social xp gains if you try to train bot with social level higher than you, not much though. And it will be very sad situation really...
Bot now has a higher Electronics and Mechanics. Set as Techie role but when I work in the workshop it does not have any impact that I see for money or xp earned on the screen. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if it's not fully set up yet.
Would be nice to tell them to work on orders to earn passive income while I make more bots.

Techie role only help you when you repairing parts in your inventory or repairing bot, like "Fix Defect" etc.
When you "Work 3AP, Time", it is Clerks who boosts you.

Let me start off by saying I enjoyed playing this game. it has a good foundation and will keep it on my watchlist. I like the fact you can give them other tasks to help you in the shop, but if you can find a gif or a pic of them helping in the shop that would be nice. Because it is unclear sometimes when they are doing something other then sex. Also a guard potion for the combat skill might be an idea. They could help against thieves/ brake in. keep up the good work looking forward to more content.
Very nice for a start.
Obviously, you'd want more diversity for the bots, and in the long run, you'd want the option to create your own models (by user mods).
Maybe someone talented in Computers should be able to tweak the psychocore to program new traits?
For small QoL improvements, you'll want: an option to visualize the bot before buying it (to check if it has traits, or even just the looks of the model when you begin the game)
For the parts buying, add the rank of the item (B-C-D-E), as again, new players have no idea if InVox/3.1 is better or worse than Aria.
