[slick97]

I also know that they have a link to their changes but the reason im asking is because it wont load for me. Everytime I click the link it brings me to a site of just random boxes.

[majorlink]

[draxton]

So, how stable is the codebase? I tried making a couple of mods (mostly tweaking a few events) but the number of times I had to re-learn the base code and re-write the mods due to refactoring and code changes made me stop trying around 0.51.

Why use console commands when you can change it with the built in cheat at the bottom of the screen.

Best to talk to the dev's on there Discord about modding questions.
They are very active on Discord linked on the OP.

Is that because those events aren't actually written yet?

About 3 of 7 of the events are complete. Also, I'm in the process of creating an alternate route for Candace so she can also be unlocked through Nora's events, so I'm not in a hurry to go through and make a temporary fix for her content when a more permanent one is coming along soon.

The events for the story are also written (see this post). Candace is a mostly forgotten character, which can probably be contributed to the following:

1. She's obtained late into the game, requiring Ophelia's questline to be completed
2. Out of all of the department lead roles, her's has the least impact
   • Sarah (Lead HR) does the weekly monday meetings with several events tied to that
   • Alexia (Lead Marketing) has a few events tied to her such as patents and advertising
   • Ashley (Lead Production) drives the personal serums mechanic for MC
   • Stephanie (Lead Research) has several events tied to her
   • Ellie (Nanobots) even has events tied to her unique role/background
3. Starbuck seems more focused on the city council plotline and having character plots tie into that

Rather tragically Candace is more of a throwaway character that doesn't fit as well into the future plans for LR2.

Candace and Ophelia will take more story time when I get around to doing the 4th city council member. Currently:
Jennifer's boss - Financial
University Dean - Education
Penelope - Enforcement
Ophelia's ex / Candace ex - "Services"
Unnamed competitor - Health

Right now there is just a single corruption path for each of the first two, with Penelope being planned for the next major update.

# Someone asked about changing the positions of locations on the map.
# All Room objects have an attribute called map_pos which references their [x, y] position on the map grid.
# e.g the newely added strip_club has a map_pos of [6, 5] meaning 6 on the x- axis from the left and 5 on the y- axis starting from the top.

room.map_pos = [x, y] # This will re- position the location on the map.
room.visible = True # Determines if the location is visible on the map.
room.public = True # If set to False then people will not roam into the location unless specified.
room.formalName = "new name" # Changes the name displayed on the map.

# If a room does not have the sexual positions you would like available it is most likely due to not having the correct objects available.
# You can add any objects to the room by using the add_object function together with a "make object" function.

room.add_object(make_wall()) # Adds a wall that can be leaned up against etc.
room.add_object(make_floor()) # Adds a floor to the room that can be used for sex.
room.add_object(make_bed()) # Adds a bed to the room.
room.add_object(make_window()) # Adds a window to the room.

# NOTE: room needs to be replaced with the variable of the room you want to edit.
# There are a couple of ways to do this. Easiest would be to go into the room and use mc.location which references your current location (room)

mc.location.map_pos = [x, y] # This edits map position of the current room you are in.
mc.location.add_object(make_bed())

list_of_places[0].map_pos = [x, y] # Replacing 0 with another number e.g 10 will reference a different room. You can do list_of_places[0].name or formalName to see which one it is you are editing.
list_of_places[0].add_object(make_bed())

strip_club.map_pos = [x, y] # This uses the variable name that the room is saved to. Names of all the rooms can be found in script.rpy ca. half-way down the label create_test_variables at lines 9150~ to 9500~.

# You can also add actions to a room by appending it.
room.actions.append(sleep_action) # This will allow you to sleep in the room. Adding actions to a room you can basically move the office into your bedroom.

#If your play through is having problems with the start of renovations use the following console command
mc.business.event_triggers_dict["home_improvement_unlocked"]=True
this will start the process so all you will need to do after the command is to check your phone and start.

first command to enter is
long
it will stop renpy from cropping the output (very annoying for long lists)

list_of_traits[#].name
returns the name of the #th trait (production schemes are mechanicaly a trait too), begins at 0 -> list_of_traits[0].name

dir(list_of_traits[0])
returns all the fields of the first trait. selected excerpts with more guess than knowing what they do:

attention - increases serum attention penalty containing this trait when sold to public
duration - all traits are summed up to final serum duration
side_affect_chance - all traits are summed up to determine the randomly assigned trait effect chance when unlocking (mastery reduces that chance)
slots - adds trait slots (duh)

to use these, enter like name:

list_of_traits[0].slots = #
where # is the new number

tip: always use commands without parameters first to see what its set as to get an idea for the usage

list_of_traits[0].slots
displays as

list_of_traits[0].slots
1

generate_daughter(self, force_live_at_home = False, age: int = None, job: JobDefinition = None)

the_person.generate_daughter(True, 19)

and if the girl you want to have a sister with doesn't have a mom npc on the board... just do this

the_person.generate_mother(True, 42)

Thanks Elkrose

Is there a cheat to edit fertility/pregnancy chance? I know there was one or more? in the original LR2 but variables have all changed by now and iirc, the old fertility raising cheat doesn't work though I don't remember the cheat that I used. I think it might have been the first cheat noted in the comment linked below

https://f95zone.to/threads/lab-rats-2-v0-51-1-vren.7260/post-6144795

EDIT: NVM, the first one seems to work now..

the_person.fertility_percent = #

Use URM. It's easier.

It is the current Dev branch, Nora was testing, now it's been merged.

Hello, could you please add a Chinese language option to the game. If not possible, I would like you to upload an unencrypted game so that I can add a language option to the game. I am extremely grateful.

Better write to the developers in Discord..

Kind sirs and madams, please tell me - is there a version with installed mods such as CherryPopper, realporn, and others? Thank you!

Rather tragically Candace is more of a throwaway character that doesn't fit as well into the future plans for LR2.

The new Nora storyline is giving an alternate path to obtain her. It is also having yoy compete with her prior company. It is not fully written yet but Candace is getting setup for both relevance and for her storyline to be intertwined with the council storylines.

That said there currently is no reason to have a supply department head. Marketing is technically the company model and that can give percentage boosts to selling amount to direct market. Head Researcher give you percent department efficency based on her intelligence. HR manager is reprogramming your employees. Production head is personal serums. Elliot is her own separate mechanic like the Aunt is while cousin is primed for Strip club.

Realistically speaking from a management point of view the only things we are missing is a longterm contract mechanic (Nora is introducing a school one and the gamer girl has one), auto acceptance and filling of random contracts you are able to fill, auto training/hiring of employees, alternate methods of corrupting the populace (likely should go under police chief/city rep/marketing) and other investment opportunities.

Now using what we have of Candace and her known storyline including returning her mind to her. I would say the best option to do with her would be training other employees. Initially on sex skills to help bring up probably foreplay and oral skill for marketing and supply employees. Vaginally and anal training could come with unlocking further policies (likely vibes as being mandatory), even the oral and foreplay training would likely be unlocked with policies. I have not verified this on a current save using the development branch since the Nora branch was merged in but it looks like we are losing the Natural talent serum. This gives the opportunity that once we "fix" Candace that fix could be the "key" to training mental skills and possibly even work skills without having the player directly do so. This would be late game but honestly that is when this should happen anyway. Otherwise the only other method of significance I could see being given to Candace for the company would be her effectively using her talents in deal making to be used on others for our profit.

So new to the game and I have a a few questions? why doesn't the time move when you do an action? Also how the hell can I make the time move?

So new to the game and I have a a few questions? why doesn't the time move when you do an action? Also how the hell can I make the time move?

Time does move with just about every action i.e. researching in lab, going on dates, hiring staff, going to beach, any work in the office at all, making serums in production etc etc. Are you being serious or am I answering because my English is poor?

No i am serious because I am stuck on monday early morning. will just restart the game

If you do stuff in the lab like hire staff and it does not move on then yes restart the game or reinstall it as it might be fkd. Only talking etc does not use time the built in cheat can also ,over time on but you should get the time to move by doing actions pretty much any action try searching your moms room for example that should change the time
