Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2025 4.0.37]

How do you do Master of Logistics goal? It says to "get on your phone and secure basic supplies for your serum."
I don't see the option on phone.

Just go the main office and order supplies there via the menu

I did that few times. It still read 0/100. Which is why I'm asking about it.

Maybe your stock of supplies is already at max.

Hey, I wanted to thank you, guys (modders). I'm having a lot of fun with this game
I only played Vren's version in like 2019 or something, and it was a mess.
This one plays nicely, and for a management nerd like me, it's not that grindy or hard (use ctrl, people). Lowkey wish engame economics was a little bit harder even (maybe more tied to contracts). But hey, that's when you can finally spend more time on corrupting everyone in large scale, instead of micromanaging your business.

Faces are kinda fugly, but that encouraged me to fire every non-story-related worker somewhere around t1->t2 serum research, and hire new ones based on not having a goblin face

Anyway. Thanks for keeping this game alive and well.
(kinda want to make a guide about starting the business and early game stuff...)

Or.. you can just go into the cheat screen and swap them to non-goblin faces, either or.

This didn't feel good
I wanted to play the game as it was designed. Let's be honest, there are no cool CGs hidden behind cheating in this game. So working on those numbers is what makes it hot
Plus, at least I spent some of that useless money to fully upgrade hiring policies and hire a bunch of high-skilled MILFs that started bringing their daughters to work later

Maybe your stock of supplies is already at max.

And, on top of that, you would need to change the max supply level in order to be able to order more.
When you're at max stock you get a notification that this is the case when you try to order more.

Heyyyy, its the dev of one of my favorite games!

There's a discussion thread on this mod's discord on a project to replace the in-game models with something less.... goblin-y. You could always join them and add in your 2 cents... seeing as your previous project is finished <3

 

[pythia23]

How does one re-establish taboos? And if you do so, can you then break taboos in different/new ways? (doing a quest rather than changing opinions via trance, for example)

Playing Standard

After several new beginnings, it looks like the "game" besides the game is the cheating game.
Too many restrictions now implemented, like e.g. lust, the new sluttiness-system, contract fulfillment, and so on
Atm not enjoyable playable without the side mini-game "Cheat".
Sound? My recommendation is to turn it off.... it feels in various ways misplaced.

They add character image zip into the develop btanch recently, so I am guessing the rework might happen soon.

 

[slick97]

Just a heads up for everyone:

Time dependent serum effects have been changed to utilize the built in "on_turn" function rather than the "SerumTrait/Design.run_on_move" (this has been removed entirely). This will cause saves from previous releases to completely break.

Apparently this should fix some issues with serums that have effects which occur each turn (i.e. weight modifications).

Depends on the character. Mom and sister will restablish taboos automatically. There are dialog options that can force them to accept it, quests that will, or just breaking it enough times (usually by getting lust and/or obediance high enough) will as well. Most characters however don't have those strong taboos, and breaking them is more like a checklist for a kinky couple than anything impactful. It really only seems to matter with family members.

Hope this game gives you ideas. I think this game is probably the best sandbox+impregnation+sex interaction game I've come across.

@FusiFranse
What does the Cheat mod have? I never used it before

Mom and Lily typically have 4 options once you break a taboo for the first time. The option, "I understand", will reset the taboo until you meet the criteria for any of the other 3. Once you fully break a taboo it cannot be reset, so be aware that you can miss certain questlines and characters depending on the option you choose.

Ashley is another character who will have taboos reset due to how her questlines plays out. The triggers for fully breaking her taboos are a bit more complex in that you need to specifically train her opinions on submission (and two others I can't remember the name of) to something favorable. She's the only other character (aside from Rebecca, who follows a similar path to mom) who has her taboos reset.

Every other unique character only require you to break a taboo once and cannot be reset. However, some characters - such as Christine and Emily - require repition of previous sex styles before the others (oral, vaginal, and anal) will unlock.

Tl;Dr
Mom, Lily, Rebecca, and Ashley are the only characters who have their taboos reset. You cannot manually reset taboos in the current version of the game.

well damn. looks like I trance-opinion'd my way out of some quests then, which sucks. might have to put the game on the shelf for a bit, and come back to start a new one after a couple more updates. :\

fwiw, this game absolutely whips ass... it just needs someone to bite the bullet and make a guide or start a wiki where we can better catalogue all its options.

I talk to Stephanie in R&D room. then she is shown in Gym, and i unlock tier 1 research.
But, i don't know after this situation.
What can i do for this situation? (Obedience + love)

Developing a guide for this game in particular is an absolute nightmare. Vren already developed quite a few complex questlines before going on hiatus, but Tristim, Starbuck, and others have taken it to another level as new questlines and characters are introduced.

Additionally, some questlines can be skipped entirely just due to how the triggers are set up - such as anything time sensitive or RNG based (I'm looking at you Ashley...). I had Stephanie's obedience questlines trigger in my first ever playthrough, but have never managed to trigger it again in subsequent playthroughs despite my best efforts. I've also completely skipped over Iris's introduction, failed to trigger the intern mechanic (which is tied to Kaya's questline, which only triggers if you hire Alexia), and managed to skip the trigger for personal serums several times.

I've been giving it some serious thought about making a comprehensive guide for the game, but I'm honestly intimidated by said complexity. If anything, I may just keep it to the questlines for unique characters only, but even then that'll take quite a bit of time to produce.

I agree that it's a huge job. But, as evidenced by the six thousand times someone has asked some version of the same question in this thread, it seems necessary. That's why I think a wiki of some type might be better. at least that way, it's not just one person having to do it all--the community can add to individual character pages or quest guides as they find triggers for stuff, and every once in a while actual quest writers like tristim and starbuck can dip in and quality control/verify things.

If I understand the code right, those two events are separate from each other, meaning you can trigger both when you follow the instructions for each route.
