Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2025.04]

[Harvey Danger]

Anyone knows how to play with an older save on the newest version? Thanks!

You can't. Search the thread for other people asking the same question to find out why; I'm not typing it again

Hi all, I got tired of having to keep track of who's online accounts I had already checked so I edited the "Accounts You Know" lists so they only include ones you have not checked

Cool! Join the discord and post it there; there's a good chance that Trist'll add it as actual functionality (if you want/are okay with that, of course. he won't if you're not; he's very polite like that.)

The second thing is that I have a doubt, is there a command to add glasses to the NPC or is that completely random in the generation and cannot be modified?

I'm ....95% sure that there is no way to make someone 100% wear glasses all the time no matter what. You can definitely add them to outfits, and you can try setting them up as her "base" wardrobe, but I can't say with certainty that it'll always apply them without exception. (It's *SUPPOSED* to, but ...well, you know how computers be.)

There is a way to make it so that they *stop* wearing them, but I imagine that - absent it getting added to the "genetic modifier" room - having the option to effectively poke someone in the eye until she needs glasses is probably a bit over the line for the game's vibe.

请问游戏可以添加中文吗

可能不会，除非精通两种语言的人加入该项目。 对不起！ （谷歌帮我翻译了这个；如果听起来很奇怪，我很抱歉。）

Last I played this game was like a year ago and now I check back in and the first thing I notice is that there are the exact same outfits available as before

Has there really been no new content added in this area AT ALL?? Or is there just some shop or some way to unlock them. Kinda crazy if there's been no new content for this long.

Yeah it's almost like the guy who was actually making the game vanished and a bunch of volunteers - none of whom had the original files needed to create new outfits - took over because they wanted to improve the game! Wow, it's a good thing that this isn't explained ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE THREAD AT ALL, or I bet you'd feel really silly for making the same point that roughly half the userbase of f95 already made!



(On a less snarky note, if you'd like to contribute to the "hey what if we actually got images that were, you know, good" project, feel free to join the discord and pitch in! I'm sure they'd love having another machine to render with once they get to that point!)

Is Unren still a viable solution?

I think, but am absolutely NOT sure at all, that the way the files are packaged is not the way that unren expects them to be and that, therefore, it will not play nicely with 'em. No reason you couldn't download a second copy and try it out, though!

I found her frequenting the strip club, and quickly persuaded her to give me her phone number and home address. She's now (one of) my girlfriend, and I'm working her to harem member.

Hell yeah, man.

Or, you used to be able to use a program like Unren to extract the files from the archives, but that hasn't worked for me the last couple times I tried it. Is Unren still a viable solution?

UnRen is no longer in development, it doesn't support latest Ren'Py versions (there are workarounds).
but there is a successor that should work just fine (used it on v2024.5a)

Aha! I hadn't considered that whole "versions changing shit around" - ironic, really. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't see "add serum" button anywhere so if you could post a screen shot of exactly where it is I'd appreciate it.

Nice to see this game being in development again. I have been away for a while, so my memory is kind of fuzzy. How do I get to convince Jennifer that Lily's InstaPic job is okay? Lil'sis wants me to convince her, but I cannot for the life of me remember how I did it in the past. I have even unlocked everything for Jennifer already, so I am a bit lost. Or do I need to raise sluttiness, because that seems a bit low for both of them right now?

I tried to find a walkthrough, but couldn't find one.

Unfortunately, Unren is inadequate to decompile the complex code found in Lab Rats 2. It's been awhile since Unren worked with it without producing errors in the game. Maybe one day it will catch up, but it hasn't been working for now.

After you take pictures with Lily and event with the mom may trigger, asking you why Lily has so much money. You can tell it is from InstaPic. Lily will yell at you for doing so, but you can convince her to do a shot with mom. And then go from there.

do you see now?

 

[Mario4don]

do you see now?

Yes I have this "trait+" button that adds cheat serum traits and I know that it works, but I asked about the possibility of adding additional amounts of serum that I already have produced because that is how I interpret that you added such a possibility by writing that

prod storage menu now has cheat button to add serum

 

[Mario4don]

do you see now?

Ok now I can see where this button is "hidden" and this works fine so big thanks.

Does anyone else think it would be nice if you could order them to not get dressed after? Especially if they got undressed in the first place because you spent energy commanding them. It would be basically the same thing as when Sarah gets you off before the HR meeting, and you tell her not to clean up for the meeting.

 

[mutantchicken]

Is it normal that i can't trigger the events for Candy after hirin her to work for me? and Sarah too, with her i'm stuck at "Sarah will give you a special service during your Monday morning meeting soon." but nothing happens

don't know whether someone gave you an answer for this yet, but you probably used a sluttiness increasing potion that put her over the threshold, but at monday it wore off, so she is no longer slutty enough for it to trigger

i think Sarah's is unfinished. even after doing every available content for her, her progress is stuck with the "special service" stuff. I noticed Candi's un-bimbofication was disabled like 2 updates before the hiatus (Cara's 1st remake). Erica seems to be stuck as well, she reverted back to being infertile and can't get the Breeding fetish despite pumping her with nanobots 24/7, can't do it through trance as well. There's Ellie and Myra too.

Can anyone make a functional changelog for this? Last time I looked on the github the giant wall of text scared me off, so even something as basic as 'extended this storyline, changed this character's look, and defeated these bugs' would help know what you guys have been doing.

Honestly, no. It would basically be a full time job to keep up with everything, even then there's no way everything can realistically make it into the log. Furthermore, your reply seems like you're trying to judge the difference between the original and this one? That list would be ridiculous if that's what you're looking for...

The quick/standard/epic/marathon game pace selection affect the number of times you can interact with girls.
Does it affect anything else? Or because you can talk less the game is automatically slowed down and that's the only thing it does?

Don't make me tap the sign (which is in fact just a link to the discord)...

I mean, define "unfinished". What are you looking for that isn't there? If it's just a matter of stuff not being in the progress box, that should be easy for Starbuck (or one of the modders) to fix; if it's like a full-on story chunk it might be a bit longer since she's working on Jennifer next.

Yeah...

tbf, and it's REALLY not much of a defense, neither ellie nor myra was ever really in a "finished" state. A big part of this is because it's often better to leave room for things to change as other characters develop, than to keep all character-related content isolated to just that one char. Like, we've all seen how limited the Mass Effect 2 DLC characters' interactions were compared to everyone else's, right? Kasumi and whats'-his-face just sit in their rooms and don't move or have different poses or comment on story stuff; none of the other squadmates offer commentary on their loyalty missions... it's very obvious that they weren't originally part of the game. Who wants that? I want my harem interacting with each other and for the world to feel vibrant - much harder to do that when you're like "okay and now this character is done and has nothing left to do story-wise the end". Also leads to having to make redundant characters if you need a particular role played down the road, and that's even worse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, no. It would basically be a full time job to keep up with everything, even then there's no way everything can realistically make it into the log.

Largely this. What you CAN do, though, is you can scroll through the

You must be registered to see the links

(keeping in mind, of course, that nothing since the last date that the first post was updated will actually be IN the front-page version) - there's a LOOOOOOOOT in there. If you know of a tool that can parse those out into a readable, not-redundant, able-to-account-for-multiple-back-and-forth changes (e.g. "Changed <thing> to say this" ... "Changed <thing> back to original value; Harvey's idea was stupid" ... "Changed <thing> to say something else entirely; you're stupid" and so on, all could be whittled down to not confuse readers), I'd be thrilled to look into it & see if it might be something we could incorporate into future updates!

(Actually, that sounds like a great product to make and actually SELL to places, if any of y'all are coders. I'll take a 5% commission for coming up with the idea )

 

[Harvey Danger]

But seriously though - I know we're all in a million of the damn things, and I know everyone says this, but the discord is very welcoming. There's no, like, "you must have jumped through these seven hoops to be allowed to have a request or post a bug or typo or idea" requirements... I mean, hell - you could come in and say a thing and then leave. We're okay with that.

It's *genuinely* the fastest way to get that stuff in front of the people what can and do make it happen, and the best way to ensure that it gets in front of them the way you wanted it to, without worrying about some asshole (like me) butchering it in transit. Give it a try!

This must've been asked while I was writing my other response so grats - you get your very own response!

Speed also actively affects how quickly events can happen. On standard, event timing is 7 days between events of the same type and 3 days between events with the same person. Quick goes faster, Epic/Marathon go slower.

Of note: THIS MAY ALSO BE WHY A LOT OF YOU ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING THINGS TO TRIGGER. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING STUFF TO OCCUR MORE QUICKLY THAN THE GAME WILL ALLOW OKAY THANK YOU GOOD BYE

Just like they forgot to put "This scene has yet to be written". And I also think that something went wrong with Sarah's questline.. before the hiatus you have to unlock her Breeding fetish to proceed with her wanting a 3some, but I somehow got the 3some before the fetish.
