Going on a tangent, is Starbuck all right?

Been a long while since I've seen any commits, so hope everything is all right.

Solid work on the mod characters, so not entirely selfless of a notion. Still, hope things are just busy.

While at it, thank you to everyone putting their time and work into this. Tristim particularly for near-daily presence and commits carrying it all forward.

We who are about to fap, salute you!
She had a surgery, and is indeed alright. Idk how much to say because it's not my business lol. But she did put up a commit today, so she's getting back

OK, just about to lose my ish on this interface. I had a formula for a serum designed. I set it to be researched. I researched it nonstop for DAYS, doing nothing but that. It had a target number (not sure what you call it) of 75, which I reached and exceeded time and again. Eventually it said I had a mastery level of 8.5 with it. I have Primitive Serum Production at 2.4. So I figure, OK, GOTTA BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THIS THING NOW. No. There are exactly zero items that I am able to switch my production line to. The list is empty, if that can be called a list which contains no items. I am trying to remain rational about this, but nothing seems to allow me to produce anything and I am rapidly losing interest in dealing with this interface. Can someone please give me some tips before I uninstall this game and chalk this whole experience up to bad game design?

Can someone make a guide for this?, is too complicated and tedius, i spend 99% of the game time navigating menus and i don't understand how this game works, i produce serums but i don't know how to take them, there are too many stat i....
Yeah, this 100%. This is the most complicated interface I have ever encountered in a Ren'Py game. Hell, not even Glassix was this bad and that was impenetrable.

Is there any WT for designing/researching/creating a serum? I (somehow) designed something, gave it a name, etc., but it appears nowhere, can't be produced or tested. If I could visualize this insanely complex process once from start to finish, I think I'm autistic enough to succeed — but I just cannot figure this shit out.

Ok so just to verify you have two serums you created with a primitive serum production and a trait that you had to name, then researched that named serum?

The serum after making it would have been in the upper right part of the research screen.

Wait wait wait. you need to design it and then master it and then research it? That's...wow. I mean, that worked, but wow. Thanks.

I don't know how useful it will be since some things have been changed in the mod, but this is the bit I wrote about production in my vanilla first week guide
Thanks for posting this was looking into the resources for LR 2 and was to ask permission to post them from the original writers

Yeah feel free to link, quote, or repost anything I wrote if you think it might help

I just recommend that you make it clear it was written for the vanilla game and maybe point out when you know the mod differs

I'm happy to see the game live on but I miss Vren's writing. He was good at writing erotica and I liked his characters. The added mod characters and story lines are very hit and miss, and mostly they miss.

Whoever thought they were clever by naming a character Ophelia von Friseur, it's so aggressively dumb that it hurts to read. Yes, I know I can change it, I'm still annoyed by it.
Yeah dat character... What would've been at least somewhat clever is, if they had made her so completely obsessed with fashion and her own hair styling skills that it's clear it's a name she gave herself.

no, you need to research the individual traits (primitive serum, suggestion drugs, etc) then you need to design a serum using traits you've researched, then you research the serum. Then you can make it (assuming your production policies are the correct tier)
now, you take that serum and give it to people and talk to them and that's how you master the traits. researching the traits until they are mastered is just a huge waste of time.

Master usually comes later for those traits that have high defect probability or need for specific goals

well we got to start with what Vren gave us. plus some of the bugfixes to that system. then move on from there.

The issue I see without a directed system, (nanobots had selected opinions it affected)I don't see how to get rid of the Screen dump of text on opinions.
Yeah you're right... I was looking at the menu and it can seem overwhelming the first few times... Especially clicking on "show details" to think about your choice and go back to check the clarity cost. Probably will need some creative idea for that.

the nice thing is you can hit opinions on the bottom menu, to pull up the cheat menu on opinions and decipher that large text dump. without flipping back and forth in the game kist don't get tempted to kust change the opinion there.

First, big compliment and gratitude for those still working on this you guys rock.
Is there a way to support your work?

Second, is there an option to add: automatic research into the R&D devision? They produce clarity ok, but I want them to automatically research available traits without clicking them all singe handedly..
All the best

itd be nice to have the edit option in the serum review again. so the next tier of suggestion can be swapped for the last tier without having to go through the entire process of designing, researching, and setting production to a new serum every time. or any other individual serum trait swaps. What is clone used for? seems to me to be a slightly different yet redundant alternative to designing a serum from scratch

i know exactly how to extract rpa or work from git
but there is no benefit to packaging in first place
it is a silly waste of effort, not impossible to get around
Ok old way, Vren released new build had to download entire game. unzip into new folder open and play got source code. but was a new entire download patch new entire download. Occationally was release a single file patch. but very rare.

Archive way. download game once, any patches can be distuted with a couple of rpa files for the 95% of people that just want to play the game.

people that want the source delete 5 or Six rpa files download the source and drop it in. update from there. and really don't have to update on master, I am playing the 7.11+ release on my original 6.8 install.

Even gone a step futher and just git a local repository. so always on the dev branch.


I can see a couple of disadvantages simple community fixes for those that choose to stay on RPA exclusively, although it only took 1 post to walk a user to setup a code distribution. the other is if on code distribution if any files are renamed or deleted have to manually handle those. or do it the Vren way and download the current master AIO delete the rpa files and drop the game directory in.

That said we can agree to disagree
