Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2024.08] [Tristim/LZ_Starbuck/Trollden]

[markconnor]

I'm pretty sure my game is bugged but what are the requirement for unlocking new personal serum ? I maxed out the first 3 one but haven't been able to unlock more despite having leveled up most trait

uuuuuhhhhh....my man WTF are you talking about?

You don't need to max out or level up ANY of the traits to unlock serums (I'm not even sure there is a max level), with the exception of Nora's traits and nanobots. You spend clarity to unlock a trait to research, spend turns researching it, and then it is eligible to be included in a new serum. You then need to spend a turn developing a brand new serum product by combining the traits you have unlocked, and then that also becomes something you need to spend clarity on to unlock and then spend turns researching before it is finished and you can add it into a production line.

If you don't have enough clarity to unlock traits/serums, you need to build up lust (gain small amounts by flirting with people, checking out sexy pics on instagram/tiktok, or the occasional catching glimpses of your employees or sis/mom in sexy positions) and then ejaculate (masturbate if you've got nobody that will help you) to turn that lust into clarity. I also believe in the latest release Steph as a researcher will generate a little bit of clarity every turn she works.

I'm speaking about personal serum the ones you unlock with Ashley that give bonus to your character.

If I am reading the code correctly you need to master the corresponding production trait to at least level 3.0

EDIT: She also straight up tells you:

Specifically, look at the Improved Serum Production trait. I think there is potential there.

I've Improved all the production trait up to 5 and still nothing that's why it say maximum quantity 4, I remember unlocking the second row in a previous version by mastering other trait and yet I've unlocked none yet

The serum production traits are to have multiple traits applied at one time (one from each of the 4 categories) to unlock the categories I believe you need to increase her love stat and progress through her story there. I believe the second category you need to have gone through the essential oils bit and unlocked that serum trait, the third category she needs to have had sex with you, and I forget the last category.

Any idea if we are ever getting new positions or animations?

 

[Leobbb]

Probably never, I remember there was some initiative some time ago to make new models, but nothing came out of it and I think it's dead by now. Model changes is a type of work nobody really wants to touch.

Instead we get the daily max energy bleed. Seriously, why? I mean it's not a problem for me, I can easily find it in the source code and delete 2 lines, but what was the thought process behind this change? Like "We need to change something for the sake of changing things"? Or maybe "Let's piss off the players!"? Or "Let's make more people use cheats instead of playing the regular way"? "Let's have something to waste sex points on forever"? I don't know, why would anyone think that keeping your max energy you worked hard for was a bad idea?

I'm on the mod's discord, and they are still working on new models, but its a very time-consuming work.

 

[TheMayflower]

Woah why did they add max energy bleed wtf

 

[Muhdurr]

Instead we get the daily max energy bleed.

Is this in the current update? Or the more recent update you get with the BETA version?

 

[themagiman]

PLEASE JUST ADD NEW CONTENT INSTEAD OF CHANGING NUMBER SYSTEMS NO ONE CARES ABOUT

WE DON'T WANT a well designed balanced approach to building a drug empire WE WANT SEX CONTENT PLEASE

 

[Leobbb]

It's in the beta, added like a week ago, I don't think it made to the release yet.

I can somehow understand the idea behind having to keep working out from time to time to stay fit, although it really doesn't add any fun value to the game, but the fact that the game can strip you of gains you got through spending sex points or from one time events like home upgrade or the race is extremely bad. If the energy gained through workout was separate and only this energy would decay I'd be more tolerant especially with sex counting as workout but unfortunately it's not the case.

 

[Funny Asian Pirate]

Join the Discord guys and tell the mod devs that you don't want the decay in the game for the final release. Hopefully, the next stable AIO update will come out soon.

 

[themagiman]

Do the modders read these forums for feedback or is the only way to interact with them to join their discord?

They do but the discord will generally let them know sooner since they don't check it often and most of the time its a user on here that just forwards them the bug info or requests.

That's what killed the original game. Please tell me it is not a priority thing.

Part of it is priority, but mostly it is the complexity. With the level of control the player has over the color and translucency of the clothing and hair, basic paperdolls are not simple. I'm also on the LR2R discord, and they did post a list of free clothing assets for Daz that match the clothing currently available in game.

 

[Funny Asian Pirate]

plus you have to make each clothes separately for each body type and breast size right? plus another set for pregnancy.

And each pose

Ophelia Von Friseur doesn't work in the Beta version. She still appears in the salon but her story won't trigger. I already tried starting a new game. Her story does work with the other version of the game though.
