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

[Xathras]

You don't have to keep making the same serum. Make like 6 different ones that have good initial value, then rotate them in & out of production whenever one goes down too far. Over time (effected by market reach) they will go back up in value.

It also doesn't seem to go down below 30% so if you have a very valuable serum you can keep producing it and get a lot of money even at a much lower level. Though rotating can help a lot.

Is there a way or command to remove the shitty gifs playing during sex scenes?

I gotta say, Im getting really sick of employees randomly quitting while having a decent amount of happiness. One chick quit so quickly I couldn't even have the performance review with her.

Who on the dev's team thinks it's normal for people to quit less than a month after starting work?!

Why is it, that you can only hire one person from the list? Sometimes you get batches that are all crap and others that have 2 or even 3 that you want to hire. Is there a way to change or modify it so you can hire more than one person in a single hire batch, if you have available positions?

The ones that you don't hire will become an NPC in the city and you can hunt them down and hire later if you so choose.

I'm with Abaddon0, there should just be an option to tick a box under each candidate you want to hire, and then pressing 'Hire' means all ticked are hired.

In my experience, it's because their pay is too low; just offer them a raise when they come to quit.

Hmm, judging from some of the comments this update might be the buggiest in a while. Can anyone confirm this?

Could be just me but I happen to have my AMD Linux driver randomly crash while playing this game.
From my system log:

Using serum for losing weight is much slower and I've never seen it causing body type change.

It is slow, but it's definitely possible. I've taken Gabrielle and Cara all the way to Thin using only serums. And that was just with Tier 1 or 2 ingredients.

Does anyone know of a similar game that lets you interact with randomly generated NPCs or some more open ended fixed NPCs?

School Game and Hentai High School both have generated NPCs which you can interact with.

Did your best serum can fix infertile on random NPC ? I cannot find a way to fix that

no, it actually causes issues with Erica. She has a breeding fetish event where she will get rid of her IUD and lets you impregnate her. You need to use any serum with the breeding nanobots I think.

So I'm updating from .05b to .08, but all my saves are gone.
Are they actually incompatible, or do I just need to find out where the saves are stored and copy them into a new folder with the correct name?

Renpy games store their saves somewhere in your appdata folder, right?
Can anybody point me to the right file?
I 100% don't want to have to start over with every update. It's far too slow-paced a game for that.

They are incompatible, you have to start over

You must start a new save. Way too many changes in the code.

What does the novelty stat do? Its defaulted to 100 or 99, and there is no explanation on what it does.

It modifies the amount of Clarity you get when you nut. The more often you do it with the same person, in the same position, the less Clarity you get.

When you cum, you get Clarity (which you use for unlocking research or modifying women's traits when you put them in a trance). The Novelty stat is the percentage of the base value of Clarity you'll get with that woman. If you would normally get 1,000 and you cum while having sex with a woman who has 95% Novelty, then you'll get 950 Clarity instead of the full amount. The Novelty of the woman you're having sex with goes down by 5 every time you cum, and increases by 1 at the end of each day (and increases by 5 when you unlock a taboo). So if you only cum with a woman once every five days, you're fine and don't need to worry about it. This game is very much oriented around a harem mindset, it's not really built for monogamy.

The position doesn't matter as far as I'm aware (other than gaining some Clarity back the first time you unlock a new position).

Thanks, appreciate the help.
