You need to buy Mandatory Serum Testing in business policies. Until you do, you can only dose the girls via production accidents, or by testing a new serum on them in research. You have to both be in research lab at the time of discovery, and if obedience is low, you will have to give her a raise. Keep your eye on research, and you can move anyone to the lab for the discovery turn, and use them as the guinea pig.

 

[DUPOND]

I will try that.

Thank you

So I've been a vren patron for quite some time now b/c lab rats 1 was imho one of the best porn games around. So now here I am, 3 updates in to lab rats 2 and can't in good conscience sit silently anymore. Vren is still one of my favorite devs, always providing timely updates, news, etc. But I really feel he's spreading himself too thin. LR1 was so great because it featured a handful of characters that had set personalities, quirks, individuality and all that good stuff. To me, there is not much of a turn on from sitting there, spending hours grinding away to build up an imaginary company in order to make imaginary money in order to make imaginary serums to "seduce" randomly generated daz models who all share one combination or another of a handful of sets of 3 or 4 types of bodily features. Like I can see where's he's trying to go with this, and the idea is great but holy cow is it way more complicated than it should be. Fapping has never been so difficult and time consuming. It seems to me the time and energy spent on randomizing daz models and creating this huge ass world, 80% of which has no purpose, could have been put to much better use creating an engaging story line and a few awesome, personalized characters like LR1. Not that my opinion matters or anything lol

...deleted the rest of the quote...

This is the changelog for version 0.2.x vs 0.3.x. Anybody checked what's the difference between 0.3.0, 0.3.1 and 0.3.2? Is it just bugfixes?

 

[kokotheworm]

Is he sticking with the randomized women or is he planing to build some specific character into the game?
Edit: nevermind , read the Faq and indeed there is going to be specific character , it's seam the generic model are only for the demo.

 

[Hercule_Poirot]

I wonder what Mr. Burns would think about worrying about an employee's happiness. MWAHAHA!
Jokes aside, I think I'll join the labrats 2 bandwagon,and check what's all the hype about. I've played the first one, but the second one seems to a different kind of beast altogether.

After having tried this game, I seem to have trouble by something as basic as producing serums. I've already researched different kinds of serums, bought the materials, and hired personnel, but I can't for the life of me start producing serums. A little help would be nice, how exactly do I begin production?

I've downloaded the free v0.32 from patreon.

After you research serum components, you design/create a new serum formula with the components you desire(always add Basic Medical), change research to whatever you named the new serum, research that, then go to production. In production, you change production to the serum you just finished researching, then start producing.
Note, you have to have enough raw materials. If you only bought them once, you most likely won't have enough to make a dose of serum. Also, if you change production to a new serum at night, you will not be able to produce until the next morning.

I'm already there, after selecting "do something", it shows me 2 options; Change production to a new serum or to trade serums between myself and the the business inventory, but after choosing "change production", appears a window that says "currently producing: Nothing!" and below it says "Change production to:" with a button that says "Do not change production.", so....maybe I did something wrong?

Did you create a new serum in Research, name it, then research the serum you just named? Researching Advanced Serum Design and Basic Medical Application isn't enough. You have to put the research subjects together to form a new serum, then research the new serum. It really sounds like you are missing that last step.
If so, it is probably either too late in the day to produce, or you don't have enough materials.

 

[Hercule_Poirot]

Apparently I had to wait until a cutscene involving the finished serum started. Apparently I hadn't waited long enough.
What I find hilarious is how unsatisfied are employees xD, not even a couple of days and they already want to jump ship, what's even funnier is that even if you rise their pay several times before they notify you about their need to GTFU of your Company, they still want to bail. x'D

If you slip them some serum, there are other ways to make them happy

I had that exact problem, except with one person I had just hired. She left despite an offer of a pay rise.

Not sure about the best way to raise Obedience (which does help make them stay), but if you purchase the Suggestibility Business Practice ($600) before hiring anyone, then as long as they have at least 10 Slutiness you don't need to dose them with anything and can just start seducing them to happiness.

Also, Company Efficiency doesn't start decreasing until you have employees, nor does money, so feel free to research and produce serums until you get bored of doing it all yourself.

...and you can easily raise their sluttiness to 10 or above by complimenting their dress.

 

[fantasianme]

right so a few questions how come i can no longer find any way of asking the girls to change their clothing ? i can no longer find any option anywhere to do that

second the game is supposed to have a feature to change what girls are required to wear at work but when i click the button to define said work clothes no clothing appears on the left and only the blank mannequin doll shows up i even cheated and bought all policy options just to see if there where any change but none so far how do i get clothes for that feature ?
