Quick question: Nora is only good to get your research up to tier 2, right? I think I've been stagnating thinking she was a completely alternate route to progression when in reality she might only be for tier 2 or 3 (i forget) and after that, just alternative traits. You still need to go down the head researcher route. Is that right?

So the game is definitely a little glitched at the moment...
You should be able to unlock standard T2 & T3 with your head researcher, no Nora needed.
I'm pretty sure there are also unique NoraT3 (I saw them in the files), but I think you need to follow Nora's path... which eventually leads you to needing to Research a 1 million recipe... I played it for like 200-300 days and only got to 100k. I probably could have REALLY forced it by unlocking the last tier of Employee Max and filled my company with Research girls... but the game was already SUPER SLOW

So I just gave this a try and have to completely disagree with this approach
Doing this didn't allow me to start researching Clinical Testing Procedure until Day 10, and I'm assuming it would take another 2-3 days before I'm actually selling it.

I started a third game using my guide - IE
Research Basic Medical Application
Create a Serum with BMA and purchase Batch Improvement
Set your Production to sell all but 1 Serum, take that one then Fix Prod to sell ALL
~Get a Supply and Production Girl~
Advance your Research with Steph by giving her that 1 Serum
Hire a Charisma Girl and bounce her between HR and Marketing as needed
Hire a Research Girl

This approach already FINISHED researching Clinical Testing Procedure on day 10, and my business is already generating $$. I had another $700 to spend (this is with having already purchased Batch Improvement).

I guess we can agree to disagree. ;)

Finished researching Clinical Testing Procedure on day 10 on day 10 Evening (with 1 action remaining to create serum design)
However because of coming weekend and such was able to research serum at the end of day 14. (by that time I however have full stock of supplies - 250)
By the night of day 20 I have Batch1 purchased. Low on cash, but business is already on earning side.

But actually that does not matter. The key of the strategy is not the income. The key is personnel. I want to start hiring them when:
1) I can start hiring with 7s not 5s
2) I can hire girls with extra obedience and extra slutness
3) I know most of their preferences so I can choose ones with less dislikes/hates
4) not a necessity, but hiring is easier if you get 10 ppl instead of 3

So I deliberately slowing down the process of getting new employees. And the easiest way to earn money for personnel upgrades - make a start with procurement/production freak

Still it's a good feature of the game that there are different paths to glory (that we can use!)

The comments make me think that you guys forgot this is a porn game.

Was the porn improved since version 12?
Click to expand...
Is it tho?
It's more like a simple little business sim with a bit of nudity...

There's more story, but arguably the porn is worse since they kinda 'fixed' suggestibility... which means its slightly more difficult to get the few sex scenes that have been around since like 0.09

What? No no no. The whole point of the Nora research trait is that you DON'T research it. It's literally intended to be impossible to research in your lab. Nora gives you the trait, already unlocked, and then wants you to test it. You are supposed to master the trait, by going out there and testing it on people then watching them (small talk/compliment/flirt) while they're affected by it, to see what it does to them. You get 0.2 mastery points each time you watch someone under the effects, and you need to get at least 1 mastery point before you go back to Nora with your results. So, instead of trying to get a million research points, you literally just make a new serum design with the "Nora's Research Trait" as one of the traits, produce ~5 of them, and test them out on randos in the mall. (Nora will make you go through this process a few times before you get to the "good stuff" of unlocking her special T3 traits; each time you will need to make a brand new Serum design with the "Nora's Research Trait" even though it looks like the same trait; old serums won't work.)

Anybody sorted how to get older files to work with the next release? it is odd that 20.1 won't read saves from 20.0 but 20 will read files from 20.1.

to get nora's quest to progress, make sure you don't have any remaining serums with noras earlier trait in your inventory or the production stockpile, remove any serum designs that contain nora's trait. lastly, you have to edit role_nora.rpy and add a line after "$ list_of_traits.append(the_new_trait)" add "$ the_new_trait.researched = True". renpy doesn't seem to like edits with notepad (game craches on load) but i managed to add it with wordpad. after that the trait shows up as researched when i progress the quest. hope that helps if you are stuck.

Only way I know is hover over them with the mouse in-game, and press DEL key on keyboard. Is the same in all Ren'py games.

You could also delete all in appdata folder, but I don't know the details right now.

I really hope the next update (or two) includes more facial expressions and poses. The current range is still really static and limited, especially compared to the first Lab Rats.

No matter what I do it won't accept it, it tells me I can't use tab, and if I use space it still wont work. How do I add a new line without it telling me I can't?

Copy the whitespace from a line that does work and paste it in in place of the tabbed spaces. Notepad++ is a bit zealous in converting spaces to tabs when you type, but it keeps the spaces on cut and paste.

I think there's also a setting somewhere to turn off the space to tab thing, but damned if I can remember where.
