I think the question was based on the ingame mechanics...not the variables you would have to change for cheating.

Probably but there is no way at least I can find that can increase your stamina. Generally its annoying in this game currently that the developer has and keeps adding stuff that limit you but hasnt implement yet the ways to overcome those through playing. Like the stats you choose at the start of the game or this stamina mechanic I get why they are in the game but holy tits its annoying to be stuck with them all game and unable to increase them in any way without essentially cheating! Or the shops in the map I still dont understand why they exist if you cant do anything in them and talking with girls you havent hired is a waste of time. I like the game idea and the direction of the game but things like that make the grind so annoying. And thats all before talking about the lack of actual story or characters yet unfortunately.

well since so far only game mechanics and a few outifits for the eyecandy was added there probably will be some use to the shops later on...I could think there will be upgrades for the company and your place over time, maybe you need to buy outfits(parts) to design new "uniforms" at some place etc... creating anoverall map right from the start while it is mostly empty makes this rather sad/boreing...but it also holds quiet some promise to the future I gues

Agreed and maybe makes this even more weird if developer focuses on mechanics but misses some that clearly need expanding. I hope at least a way to increase stamina is added next patch. Its funny to have the random event where a girl comes to your house at night for sex only to have to turn her down because you used 2 stamina during the day :noexpression:

How do you produce serum? I've done research, I've ordered supplies, but the "Produce Serum" option is still blacked out. What am I missing?

Edit: Nevermind. I wasn't assigning the task to a production line.

I think I've found a bug. After 20 or so days, your supplies go from x/250 to x/5 and you no longer produce any serum even if you spend days trying to produce serum. You can also no longer order supplies or sell anything since your production inventory shows you don't have any serum. I spent about three hours getting used to the mechanics and grinding out production on my own to have a bit of a buffer before I tried to hire anyone only for the aforementioned bug to pop up and make everything I've done up to that point a waste of time. I enjoyed Lab Rats one, but so far, I'm very unimpressed with this game. Hopefully it will be smoothed out and fixed over time, but for now, I've given up on it.

You can change the max amount of serum to keep stocked in the main office, is it possible you accidentally set it to 5? Regardless, you should be able to go there to change it to something much higher. I honestly see no reason not to set it at 1,000,000, it's not like having extra changes anything, and your procurement people will only obtain more so quickly.

I think I did change that stat, but I thought it meant how much serum would stay in the main office and not get sold, not that it would cap my ability to make it more. And on top of that, you should still be able to buy supplies and produce and sell serum, which I could not. I'll give it another go and see if that solves the problem. If so, it's still a major flaw in the mechanics if you can shut down your entire operation by making one choice. The mechanics of this game just seem overly complicated and in need of serious streamlining.

I hate to say it since I love lab rats but this game can't decide if it is a business model game or a porn game, because of that it fails at both. As a business model game the prices you sell your product are way to low, production is way to low. I own my own business this business model would fail in the real world. As a porn game it sucks because you have to spent way to much time trying to get a business off the ground in order to even think about getting to any porn. I had High hopes for this game based off of lab rats, but My recommendation is pass this game by in its current form it's not worth the down load time.

Yeah in the moment the business part is scaring many player off. It is to easy to simply run bankrupt.

Keep in mind that in the main office you dont change the amount of serum stockpiled, but the amount of supply. Otherwise what you both said is true, and i hope vren adds some popup text or something that explains what each component you are hovering or each department does, so you dont have to re-read the FAQ or search the forums, especially if you are new to the game.

I feel like this release could have been greatly improved by having beta testers. It took me almost an hour just to figure out how to produce serum. It just seems to be over complicated at this point. I don't know if that's by design or if the developer just didn't realize how confusing it is for most people. Unless you hire someone right away, which doesn't seem cost effective considering how long it takes to actually produce serum, it takes the player a little over a week to run all the research, stock up, and produce serum. It takes at least three or four different options to switch locations when two could easily do the job. Which wouldn't matter so much if you didn't have to go to four different locations just to make serum. Keeping your employees happy enough that they don't quit within a few days seems to be impossible. The arbitrary constraints on stats and stamina with no clear way to increase them makes it feel like you're not getting anywhere. I know this is an early build, and most of these complaints alone aren't that big of a deal, but all of them together make the game a chore to play. I imagine most if not all of them will be fixed eventually, but I figure unless you speak up, the developer may not realize where the trouble is.

true as that might be I don't think the developer frequence this Forum...so any complaint risen here only attacks his potetntial fan base without helping to improve the game.
I know of atleast 2 Forums VRen frequenting and constructive critism raised in those have been adressed within the next few releases in the past.
So I'd really encourage searching or asking for those and give him a piece of your mind in order to improve the system so far.

I gotta be honest, Vren - I'm not nearly as into Lab Rats 2 as I was Lab Rats 1. That's not your fault - it's just a matter of them being different kinds of games. I loved Lab Rats because each character had a distinct personality, and I liked them each for different reasons (with Steph's love of cum, Lily's submissive nature, and Alexia's exhibitionism being my favorites over Mom and Nora). Lab Rats 2 doesn't have that - not yet, at least. I'm not going to stop being a patron, but I'm probably not going to keep up with LR2 until you've added in our old girls.
That's completely understandable, Lab Rats 2 is a big departure from LR1 and it's going to take more time to get it up to the same level of content and polish. Check back in a few update cycles, v0.8 is scheduled to introduce the first of some real storyline style content and a proper tutorial to the game. The first of the LR1 girls will also be introduced into the game, Stephanie will be your first employee and your lad director (unless you choose to replace her).
For all who weanted some unique girls or just some known faces from the frist part....rejoice as thats what VRen posted on another Forum
