@ThanatosX
if you get girls to work in production and supply and you balance there skill.
you only need to do sales and HR. - both dont need any skill to keep up in the start.
you only need to turn a profit and you can get the 500$ upgrade that gives you more workers.

get one for sale and one for HR and you dont need to do any work at all. company is set to run all by it self.

How do I change the Menu Images to pregnant or naked or so?

 

[JuanSinTierra]

Reading the changelog... Some clotes were added, color changes to clothes, and now you can change the name the MC/NPCs reffer to each other... That´s it. Meanwhile it still takes several clicks to change location, and most locations are useless still, and there´s really no reason for anything outside the company existing (it would be more convenient if it was just a single location, not having to change locations or going home, and the few events at home could just happen when hitting sleep and assuming your character slept at home by changing the background) the character models are still ugly, the unique events are lacking and worst of all, the sex part is still badly managed, turning it into some kind of minigame, and it doesn´t seem that there´s even any plans to radically change it.

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.
once you get a setup your happy with, save and move on with the game.

There's a solution to this should it happen.... just change her opinion for her as is outlined here beats starting over repeatedly still you roll something you like

 

[scar123]

how do you save color swatches? change log says to right click but that just brings up the menu

What are side effect

When you create a serum you have a chance to get a random debuff.
This can be something as harmless as minus to love.
Or something as dangerous as unhappiness.
You can check it out in the lab under created potions or when you add them to the production line.

My opion of the game so far:
I am having a blast with lab rats 2.
The dialog of my submissve slave's are very pleasing.
I love the subtle manipulation, the corruption of morals, the feeling of joy as i manipulate and plot my way into there pussies.

Still there is something holding lab rats 2 back.
There is no risk of getting caught.
No danger of being arrested, no needing to keep a low profile.
The game suffer's from what a lot of porn games suffer.
There is no bigger world out there.
It slightly damage's my immersion.
Nothing major just something i wanted to mention in case the dev reads these.

If anyone want to skip the half day grind:

worst of all, the sex part is still badly managed, turning it into some kind of minigame

I'm sorry but isn't sex act supposed to be some kind of mini-game? I mean, why it's sounding like something bad?

No it isn't, it's supposed to be the reward for going through the grind that is business part of the game. I don't have a problem with it (or at least I wouldn't if it wasn't so broken and imbalanced) but I can totally understand why some people hate it.

Me and @Tristim are currently working on modding the game in this Git repository.

Getting an error related to an image it can't find.

Mods/mods/Room/images/Shower_Background.jpg

I can see that image exists in game\mods\Room\images\Shower_Background.jpg... I found the file that appears to be initializing home_shower: game\mods\Room\rooms\shower_room.rpy.

Not sure if Mods is some sort of root directory reference to the game folder or if that should actually be game/mods/...?

Try creating a folder named Mods in the /game/ directory and then put the mods folder in there.
We got to correct that later.

He's written in his patreon posts that future updates will focus on the cosmetic and customization side of things. Updates up to the most recent one have been mechanically focused.

WTF? I put .exe but nothing happen! Game not Start!!!

Where is the group sex tag coming from?

 

[ElPiti]

Hey fellas, do the Lab Rats games have scenes? I mean that I've played other similar games (from what I can tell) that all the action is mostly narrated and the visual candy is minimal since it is only represented by the sideline avatar.

Is this one like that?

Thanks Trollden, I'm not getting the error anymore, but I've played through about 3 or 4 weeks and I'm not sure I'm getting any more mod crises anymore either so I don't know if the issue is fixed and I just haven't been lucky enough to get a crisis yet, or if it just prevents the mods from being used since their folder structure has changed.

Unfortunately I can't have both a 'Mods' folder, and a 'mods' folder in the same games folder to just give it both. Today I learned the windows file system is not case sensitive for folder names.

I basically cheat because fuck the grind. I didn't mind the grind of 1 but if I'm gonna play a sim game, I'd like to play one that is a little better flushed out.

Just looked at the Dev's post on another forum and he said that this update will be the last to work on the mechanics of the game and future updates will start working more on character development with more unique NPC's and story. Obvious tweaks will occur but at least it's not the main focus of the game anymore. I did say that as long as what we've gotten was paving a foundation then I wouldn't mind as much and it's looking like that just what it is.

I suspect:
When you demand sex from an employe you get the option to stay in the room and get random employe's to comment on you having sex.
That tag shoud have been public sex instead of group sex i think.

Took a second look at the pathing.
It should be /game/Mods/Room/images/ (as defined in paths.rpy) and it should no longer be looking for a /mods/ folder as stated in the error message you got earlier since we changed the folder structure.
Try deleting your current Mods collection and download again from the git developer branch.
Hopefully that should solve it.
For the Crisis events go into the player's bedroom and check the MOD Actions in the "Do something..." menu. Check if for example the "Business" category is present and then disable / enable whatever you like.
If categories are missing ( due to whatever could be causing it, we got to look into that... ) you can:
A) Try saving the game and then load that save, save again and load.
If that doesn't solve it then the only sure way* (*at least always works for me) to make it work at the moment would be to
B) Restart the game and go directly into "New Game" and start a new save. For reasons unknown to me, even looking at the "Load Game" screen can (sometimes) cause it to not initialize properly.
