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

[lifesuckz69]

lol, i foresee an update to this saying "Only every 5 versions will get an official mod update" and I wouldn't blame the mod team, seeing how suddenly the main game gets a lot more updates.
So here we go again: waiting desperately for the update of the mod XD

The .48.1 version requires Unren to enable console.

47 still ain't here, sheesh. while, 48 just released mmm

 

[OddityOne]

looks like i haven't paid enough attention. i enjoyed the base game, but mods expand the potentials greatly!
switchable/toggle features may be a nice addition, tho i have no clue how hard to apply.
but personally, and despite the current character gen being the best of a limited number of char/gen games, I'd like more variation in that system if possible.
yes, there's an option for most preferences, but once you have several ladies, those of us w more limited preferences run out of interesting new combinations fairly quickly. some more variations of each base body part would allow for a wider variation in body forms.

If you have read on OP you would have seen this in yellow text:

NOTE: We are moving to a bi-monthly release schedule, next update will be based on v0.48.x

surprise and mods for 50 will be out before 49, because mods are skipping the odd number vanilla releases.

You guys should include a non-breakable taboo for event girls, I just had Ellie completely naked, followed by an event where she adamantly refuses to take clothes off...

Also, am I the only one who can't stand her accent?

ellie is still a work in progress.

How long do new updates take usually? Just curious, I like this version over the main game but looks like quite the process. So I'll understand if it takes awhile to be updated.

2 weeks or so, depending of the updated features.

And MOD maintainers RL responsibilities.

The .48.1 version requires Unren to enable console.

It doesn't need unren. You go into the bleeding files and find 00console.rpy and change one of the lines from False to True.
# How to console - If its activated its SHIFT+O (ESC to close).
# To activate console - edit the following file
# \Lab_Rats_2-v0.xx.0-pc\renpy\common\00console.rpy
# Find this line (around line 108) config.console = False and edit it to True.

works with any Ren'Py game

Shift + O never works for me
could it be because I have a German keyboard layout?

It used to be that if you use a serum that forces sluttiness higher, when it wears off, the amount it was boosted by is removed from the stable sluttiness. Meaning that those serums are bad for anything currently. They could be good later if you need to get someone caught doing things they shouldn't, but for working on your staff/household, they'll just mess up your efforts.


This is to say that anything that's like '+10 sluttiness/obedience/happiness' tends to be bad. +1/per turn type things, however, work fine.

Yeah it took me way too long and too many saves to figure that shit out was annoying as hell and there is no warning or heads up to let you know that will happen. Its basically fuck around and find out... Still debating on whether I should post constructive criticism of the game/mod or wait. Dont get me wrong I love this game/mod easily on my top 3, been playing for almost a year now. I just feel there are several areas where I think little improvements could go a long way but, I am not a modder/coder so my ideas while seemingly trivial and easy to implement, could be a fucking nightmare of coding so ill refrain for now...

Any way to make it so Npc's never leave their relationship, trying to make a harem of married women but they keep leaving their significant others.

Had a similar thought so.. while don't know if it actually works or i just got lucky but once i started to introduce 'Cheating on Men' on their Likes/Loves list they don't seem to break up.

I don't think so, perhaps changes to console.rpy were not saved/ applied or done properly.
Instead of the basic Windows Notepad, I use Notepad+ for these kind of things BTW.

I can only speak for mechanics in 46, as that's the one I've played recently, but the original mechanism for increasing sluttiness is increasing suggestibility with a potion, as it converts some of the red sluttiness into perm sluttiness. And this is the major tool till you get to Nora's traits. Then, you should be working on obedience as everything triggers from that. The Rapid Corruption Nora trait and Sister's trait will turn obedience into perm sluttiness pretty effectively.

In terms of sex acts leading to obedience, what I've seen is that Deep Throating is very effective, more effective than others, but only when the female is really really aroused.

48 should introduce new business mechanics, so wondering what contracts and heat will do to the game.

Oboe.

Well mod team will likely not do this since they said would release an update every two versions, but I would not fault them if they said they would pass over this update until those mechanics have settled a bit instead of having to debug now and wonder where Vren will want to take those mechanisms or will change them again next version and keep working on side content added to version 46. I suspect they were very glad they could pass over version 47.

I ran into Issues like that switching between keyboard layouts, may have to map the keys, but I haven't done that in years
