Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2024.5B] [Tristim/LZ_Starbuck/Trollden]

[Ranker]

From what I can see Tristimdorion has been cleaning up the code and game , while LazyStarbuck has been implementing more scenarios. XulOnTuesday been dealing at the clothes. Good job guys. We all thank you guys for your hard work and keeping this alive.

The game would just be another to skim past without you guys.

I just reloaded a savegame that I hadn't played for a few months, and I noticed that all my employees are wearing yellow underwear. I seem to vaguely remember the ability to change the uniform color (not just add individual outfits), but I can't find that anywhere. Can someone tell me where that option is, or if I just imagined it?

EDIT: I know there's a policy that allows girls to change to a different color from the default, but what I'm asking is how to change the default.

I believe you have to modify the outfit of choice and then add it as a new option.

how to raise a girl's novelty or yours without using cheats?
also how to change the uniform color? I chose blue and now I want to try other colors but there isnt the option to do so. I'm fine cheating on this one

Time. Move on to other girls for awhile, give them a break. It will slowly increase as the days pass.

So does it only give you the choice at the beginning, then? That really sucks.

Hopefully this mod becomes the Free Cities Mod where it carries the game into being better. It already has imho.

You can change the base color from office lobby.

Hire Candy.. she available from the salon girl's storyline. After she is hired, there's an event where you can bring her to a clothing shopping spree. After that event, you can always invite a girl and buy them up to max 3 full outfits + 1 lingerie outfit. each cost some money and +3 novelty. so max +12 novelty per shopping spree.
Otherwise, rotate your harem.

The option to "choose your primary business color", does nothing more than add a preset group of outfits to the pool based on color range info. It otherwise does not set any preference color settings. Its really all in what you add into your outfit pool. You do need to edit what is available for what depts/types/etc from the option in the Main Office room, but its all up to you for colors after that initial game option builds some default sets.
I guess if you want to.. go and delete all company uniform outfits ( i think it will let you) - and then set
"company_wardrobe_loaded = false" in the console and then the lobby option to build a new set should show up.

I don't think you can change the color of an outfit/uniform once it has been set. You can either make a new one with the color you want or edit the old one to change the color. Don't forget the set the new uniform or your employees will wear the old one.

Definitely agree, though someone probably should hack LazyStarbuck's account and chance the nick to "ProductiveStarbuck" >.>

Joking, hope the personal life things that kept them from the usual amount of effort put into this mod got resolved. If only for purely selfish reasons, the storyline additions are excellent.

Is there a Harem limit size for the Harem house? Also, is there a harem end?

 

[Ranker]

Is there any plan to create a new download with all the changes that have been done so far? If yes, when do you guys forecast it being released?
thank you

the size of the harem is limited by the capabilities of the husband - without regular "pollination", the "flowers" (girls) begin to wither (the mood deteriorates) and dry up (run away) so - how many girls per day you were able to "pollinate", raising their spirits - such is the size of the harem.

On the Discord it's been talked about quite recently. The development branch is still not stable enough for a master release. About 2 weeks ago Starbuck said there's about a half-dozen things she'd like to tick off the to-do list before the next master release, and I should imagine Tristmdorion and XulOnTuesday both have their own prerequisites before a master release can be pushed out.

I do seem to recall (but am now unable to find) messages alluding to working towards a new master push soonish - id est within the next month or two. However as I now can't find the message there's a chance that I'm confusing this with another project so take this with a pinch of salt.

 

[rb813]

I remember reading a while back about how your ability to make stuff happen with your cousin starts with catching her in Lily's room and blackmailing her. I'm on day 56 and I don't remember that ever happening. Is there a way (using the console) to check if it did happen, or make it happen, or make the effects of it happen?

EDIT: Lol, it happened six minutes after I posted this. Go figure.

 

[Artiour]

thank you guys for the responses, I think the relaxed uniform color policy does the trick. and then you could just change the girl's opinion on colors and voila.

MAJOR GAMEBREAKING BUG

It's also getting worse. An hour ago it wasn't even -1Mil, now it's... -51.7Bil


Managed to fix it (Cheat Engine for the win), now it's back, and worse than before, at... -35.57Qa


I FOUND IT! Never thought to check the Novelty stat, but that's what's causing this. Still don't know what's fucking over the Novelty stat though.
I've checked the Logs & Traceback files, nothing shows up there.
Logs just shows the usual running bit, and Traceback only shows an older Exception error, but I know why that happened and it couldn't affect Novelty.


Edit:
Save file now attached. Download, Load it, and choose either of the 2 choices, doesn't matter which.
Glitch will happen, and Clarity will go negative.
(This is NOT the original savefile where the glitch happened, this save came after, in the hope it was just something I did in that save.)

It kinda breaks the immersion for me when I have a girl with 182 obedience, and I do Give her a command > Change your wardrobe, to add an underwear set that's 0 Sluttiness, and she says "I don't really like it. Sorry." Bitch, I wasn't asking. I'm sure there's some kind of internal formula based on her color preferences or whatever, but that should be overridden by high obedience, shouldn't it?

EDIT: If I use a serum to boost her Sluttiness, will she just not ever wear what I gave her after it goes back down?
