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

[littlepea]

This is the version that has a built in cheat system and you can change pref as you say for every girl in the game, you just need to be talking to the girl you want to change.

Ouaa thanks a lot! I didnt see that cheat and opinions options...

 

[fulcrum]

Or you're saying that real demand simulation is via Aspects; and a modus operandi is to Scrap and reDesign?

No, make several serums with your intended effects and switch them out in production.
week 1, serum A
week 2, serum B
week 3, serum A
etc

if you cant break even this way, put your focus on contract work.

No, make several serums with your intended effects and switch them out in production.
week 1, serum A
week 2, serum B
week 3, serum A
etc

if you cant break even this way, put your focus on contract work.

These days it is based on what you put in it.
4 base stats:
Mental, Physical, Sexual, Medical
2 extra that are negatives:
Flaw(s), Attention

What you want is a mix of serums that balance the first four stats while having 0 Flaws and an effective Attention of 0 or at most 1.
For Tier 1 that would be something like:

• Improved Serum Production, Low Concentration Sedative, Tactile Stimulator
  • Mental 2, Physical 2, Sexual 2, Medical 2, Attention 1 (with the charity policy effectively 0)

Do note that Attention is not additive but picks the highest of all the components, which means that Advanced Serum Production is the highest tier you can add if you want to keep Attention at/below the level that it increases (if you are using the charity policy).

When i click story progress it says , this characters love progress has not yet been created.How do i get this for the sister or mom

 

[Oh my]

Quotes.

 

[Oh my]

BUG
I found a kind of bug with serum naming convention.

I named a serum A-B (CI) [LS].
The convention notes attachments and abbreviations of effects: Anti-Biotics with Caffeine Infusion attachment and a side effect of Libido Suppressant.
the [] of [LS] caused an error, so I had to rollback.
It stated that LS was not defined.

I changed it to A-B (CI) LS and it worked.

 

[Oh my]

Got another BUG:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Lab Rats 2 - Down to Business 2023.09
Mon Mar  4 09:00:56 2024

This happened due to Jessica's Promotion Event.
If making her MC's girlfriend gets rid of 'lust_step' attribute, then that might have something to do with it.

Also:
1) I'm not sure what Sex Skills do.
2) I don't even know if MC has a big dick, so I'm not sure what Bid Dick preference does.
3) "Ask her to join your harem" should definitely be a Special Action and not above Small Talk.

 

[Samishii421]

Sex skills increase Arousal and decrease energy used by actions during sex.
It's assumed they do, due to the vast preference for MC's with big dicks.

Hey guys, how do I hire Rebecca? I've got Gabrielle in my company and Rebecca's an accountant for my company but I can't seem to hire her full time.

 

[Oh my]

BUG

Spoiler: Error

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I've been taking the mom out to dinners, accepting her invite into her room for wine, but leaving before sexy time.
She decided to pounce me, when I left the third time, and it resulted in an error.

It actually would have been very nice if she pounced me.
Even if her text would probably blame me again: "Honey, you need to find better ways of showing me how you feel instead of me stripping in front of you to show you what I'm going to wear."

Suffering from success

 

[Oh my]

Suffering from success

I was forced to engage.
And would have to go straight to anal piledriver to make her cum.
Kissing was so boring to her that she didn't cum once.

I'll be avoiding Dinner Dates in the future, I think.
And avoiding Flirting is very good.
Not just mechanically, but the text: "Hey ma, I want you to get nekkid" all of a sudden.

A lot of quality time with a playful spank here a grope there is the spice, I think.
I may have to use one Flirt just to tip the pot; but I hope I don't have to, and that my modus operandi is set.

1. Faster partner orgasms as above and different dialogue during sex (my impression). Not sure if being able to delay ejaculation is tied to sex skills or not, it feels separate (and I suck at combing code).
   1. The first is why I like to keep mine moderate to low. Keeps the sex interesting instead of making it a single chain orgasm every time.
2. The MC seems pretty big based on dialogue. Makes sense for a power fantasy game. Not sure about the game skewing NPCs towards Big Dicks, feels like it swings both ways.
3. Fully agree! So many accidental proposals.

I think that's the extent of it for now. She has a special position that's not part of the hiring system.

Huh, I thought Rebecca could be hired fulltime as well... Welp, guess I wasted an hour or 2 fussing about something that can't happen yet. Thanks for the clarification.

Another couple of questions if you don't mind, who are all the non random NPCs that we can hire? Is it almost all of them and it might be better to list the ones that AREN'T hirable? Something else? More specifically, how do I hire Lily? I easily had the option to hire her in the release version but in the develop version that I'm currently playing there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to hire her.

 

[Oh my]

That's good to know.
That and to tweak dialogue according to preference.

Do Sex Opinions change dialogue?
And I can't seem to find where to give the Sex Shop money.

Okay I got this error again and am not dating Mom.
Not sure what this is; or if I will get more bugs if I Ignore and continue.

Rebecca is effectively "hired" once she starts working in Marketing, she's just outside the normal system. I think this is where the confusion comes from. I forget how it is with Lily, but I think she can be convinced to drop out of school. Try different parameters like high obedience?

1. In short, yes.
2. Meet the owner, Cara. You can invest in her business after you've talked to her, and invest more as the character arc progresses.

What's the in-game benefit of adding a girl to your harem? Is it only so they won't be jealous of other girls you're fucking, or does it open up new specific events like the slave dungeon?

I don't think it's about Lily's Obedience or other stats since she's at 100 Love, 62 Sluttiness and 203 Obedience though. Plus Jennifer is already working at my company. I'll try grinding somemore and update here later.

Update: I've her Sluttiness at 100 and Obedience at 300, still no dice.

Have you tried looking at the story progress hints in the character profile? I recently started a new game, and the prompt to try hiring Lily came up very quickly, like maybe within the first week. Are there any unique options on the right side of her interaction menu at all? If so, I would say try those and see if it unlocks something else.
