it seems that some are in need of a guide to get startet in this game.
so here is my attempt at making it easier for you all to get startet.
Guide as of V0.16.1
this guide is not a step by step guide, but will set up up so you can get startet and explore the game by your self.
with a understanding of the basic mekaniks,
----- making your char and getting startet ------------------------
First we have to build your start Stats
you gain more as you play the game, and i find it easiest to gain main stats and work skills
so drop everything into your sex skills
that will leave you with 4 stats left. ( if you take anal even through it is not in the game yet. )
use 1 point in every work skill except human resources
remember in the lower left corner, where you add your name and company name.
you are welcome to play the tutorial, but your next step in this guide is when you go to meet Stephanie in the company.
click on go somewhere else. (this is how you move around) and go to "Company name" lobby
click talk to ... click Stephanie
in upper right corner you can Click on detailed info and you will get a info Screen on Stephanie. have a look at the lower part
and you can see what 4 boxes
Loves / likes / dislikes / hates
the ? marks cover a text that is connected to that mood.
they are all random. and you can get a unlucky roll. and they dont changes
if she has a lot of hates and dislikes but no likes and loves, restart the game.
if she got a lot of loves and likes and few or non hates and dislikes save the game. and continue playing.
you can be unlucky that Stephanie dislikes or hates work or research and then your gonna get a hard time keeping her happy.
you are trying to avoid that. optimally the Dev will reduce the random on Stephanie sins we need her.
but this is how you work around it for now.
Alternatively look at "
This post" for console commands to edit her
once you get a setup your happy with, save and move on with the game.
-------
the "only" thing we need for you to be able to explorer is to get the business up and running.
to do that we need to setup 4 things
1. invent the serum
2. make the serum
3. sell the serum
4. automate it.
to do this you need to use the 4 location on the right side of the screen.
main offices
R&D
production
marketing
- Main offices
it is here you will finde supply procurement and human resources
and from here you can hire girls and spend time getting supply's
plus you can spend time on HR to get your company efficiency back up to 100%
- R&D
invent stuff - this will be the first location you will go to.
you can work here to generate R&D points
and you set your R&D focus from here
plus you build your serums here
- Production
here your production staff will make the serum if you have supply's in stuck
you can work here to make the serum too
- marketing
here your sales girl(s) will work from
and you can work here to sell your serum too
1. inventing the serum
go to R&D
under Do something
set your R&D to basic medical application
now spend time in the lab til it is done.(lower left corner is a info screen where you can keep trask of your R&D projekt)
(you mite have to go back home to sleep a few of times, but dont worry)
once the basic medical application is done it is time to build your first serum
Create new serum design and use the starting production type and the basic medical application as a trait.
give it a name. then go back and assign your R&D to the serum you just made.
now spend time in the lab till the serum is done
now that the serum is done it is time to move on to Making the Serum
but i will suggest you set up your R&D focus to something befor you leave.
2.making the Serum -- (read 3. and 4. too befor you play on. sins you can hire staff to work for you)
to make the serum you will need supplies and production
supplies you can buy from the main offices
and if you go the production you can set up one of the lines to make your serum (make sure the auto-sale threshold is set to 0 )
you need to work in production to make the serum
main offices(Supply's) --> production (makes Serum) --> marketing ( sells )
3. Selling the serum
this is really easy, you work in marketing. when you have serum in stuck
4. Automation.
this is where you hire girls to work for you
if you look up your serum (can be found in R&D)
you will see a production cost and a expected profit
the serum i made you make, got a profit of 70 $ and a production cost of 40
you need 40 supply's and 40 prodution to make a batch
a batch is 4 or 5 (cant remember off my head)
you can only have 5 employs including Stephanie (that works in R&D)
i suggest you get 2 for supply's and 2 for production, then you can work HR and Sales yourself
until you can upgrade the company size. (quick note: the main part of your work force will be Supply and Production )
you can see in your Stock(lower left corner) if you need to go sell stuff and your HR rating reduce everyone effectivity so keep it 80+
this shot start giving you a small profit.
upgrade the company size once and you can get a sales girl and a HR.
the rest go to supply and production.
and from here on, invent better serums and hire more staff. all for more profittes.
now what you use the extra serums and your special projekt serum for. that i will leave up to you.
i hope this will bring more of you into the game and getting to the fun of it.
a Quick bonus tip. the middle box on the left, show you "quests" when you do them you get stats point that improve your skills.
