Ren'Py Abandoned Lab Rats 2 [v0.51.1] [Vren]

[Gojii]

Okay, going to test out something I found and will get back to you. I think I figured out how to change the hair style. As to faces, I don't know yet. it should be
the_person.hair_style = (style)
then they style.
Styles include and may have more such as

"boobed_hair" "bowl_hair" "curly_bun" "short_hair" "messy_hair" "messy_short_hair" "shaved_side_hair" "messy_ponytail" "twintail" "ponytail" "long_hair" "Braided_bun" "windswept_hair"

the_person.hair_style = long_hair

Worked... It made the hair white, so you may need to change the color to your liking after (as the character was blonde beforehand, there may be a secondary command that gives the hair color along with the style in one command line).

I think this was also explained in the post where the commands where. If you change the hairstyle you must tell the programm that it should use the haircolor of this person for this hairstyle
the_person.hair_style.colour = the_person.hair_colour[1]

djustmie - just create a serum with 0 attention and set it to be sold as it is created. If you get a side effect, retry. Then get the -1 attention upgrade and sell your best 1 attention serum. Should be effectively limitless money then. I had 12 employees on that and still had plenty coming in. Just tune your buyer/producer to researcher ratio.

Might be an issue trying to get the max number of employees on that strategy, but you can also make the girls happy, do a performance review, and cut their wages over and over again. Inspire a love of wearing revealing outfits or showing breasts or whatever, then require that in your corporate uniform. They will be happier every day they come into work.

I DONT GET IT PLEASE HELP
special roles (stripper, prostitute, and similar) is this for (Jennifer, Lily, Rebecca, Nora, Alexia, etc.) ?

Why is there no MEGA links

 

[hyfka]

as soon as i buy trier 2 i will go bankrupted

Do you have a bunch of employees and a good serum to sell?
The only way I can imagine someone going bankrupt is by trying everything alone.
I usually get Tier 2 after I have 4 or 5 employees and sold my first batch of serums

 

[djustmie]

as i mentioned before i payed lab rats in many versions before this one , and never had trouble making money.
i dont do it alone i have employees in every department and all in the highest class which is currently available for now (5))

But i think it is ridiculous the cost of a serum is for example 80€ and the profit is only 4€ but also decreasing by the day

i also think a game is allowed to be difficult , there must be a goal to achieve and to easy is boring as hell but now it is to hard
or i made some mistakes which i dont oversee at the moment

Can you upload a save? The attached screenshot is a basic T0 formula that makes a profit of 85 per dose and you can sell 5 of them per day (so +420/d) without your Attention increasing without upgrades. With the upgrades "Public Charity Work" and "Establish Cover Story" you can push four times as much before your attention ever increases.
I think early you should focus on profit per attention, and later it doesn't matter as the fines are negligible really. What do I care if Ms Benson takes 8k if I made 75k?

The production cost it is talking about is not money!
It is based on the work your worker can do. You know that variable the girl and you have in the production skill set.
So if your skill is 40 it will take 2 turns to complete a batch of serum. If it is 30 it will take 3 turns and the extra production you put into it will go into the next batch.

When making a serum and researching it. Stop the turn before you finish researching it. Save. Then finish it. Tell Stephanie to "Finalize" it. Then review serum see if there is any flaws. If there are reload it the save just before you finished making it and try again. It can take a few times depending on how well you researched stuff. The worst ones that have 100% or more research down to at least 50% before even trying to make anything with them.

Some serum negative traits cause permanent damage to female characters. You could end up turning them into useless characters. So having Stephanie test it is no longer a good option of unless you know before hand it is safe.

Also if you use my mod. You will find it a lot easier because I fixed stuff like the contract system to actually be usable and work with you. The girls stats, skills and likes are tied together. So finding a girl that is useful is a lot easier.

Okay so every stat point is worth a certain amount of money but overall each type is the same value.
However, "Flaw" points reduce sell value by a lot! The serum you posted has Noras research trait and a side effect, try making one without side effects.
And as Backala said, check your Market Reach in the sales window. Should be close to $10 per stat point. If not you need to improve marketing.
Also, having a company model ("Male focussed marketing" policy) and doing photoshoots can increase sale price by quite a bit depending on how far you can go with your model.

Here is one I would recommend for "mid game" after you get the -1 attention. Basically useless outside of selling, but only has 1 attention so you can sell infinite of them.


And something like this for early game:

Hi,

Im stuck on a mission for sister to get mom to take topless instaPics, she keeps telling me she will get banned. Would anyone have a answer to my problem?

 

[AnubisMRM]

@djustmie From what I understood about this game, the more you sell a serum, the lower it's price will get. It's basic supply and demand. If you keep selling 1000 beers every week, the price will decrease. However, if you sell 200 beers, 100 wine, 100 vodka every week, the price for each of them will not decrease as much.

What I'm trying to say is that each serum has a set of positive attributes (Mental, Physical, Sexual, Medical) and a set of negative attributes (Flaw, Attention). If you keep selling the same serum with 8 Mental points and 9 Medical points, the price of that serum will decrease to the point where you can't pay the salaries and various upkeep (serum production upgrades*). To avoid this, create 2 or more serums with different properties and sell them in an alternating manner. For example create another serum with high Physical and/or Sexual stats. That way you can sell 20-30 serums from the first type (Men+Med) and after a few days you sell 20-30 serums from the second type (Phy+Sex). If you hire a person which generates good Market reach, they will make sure the prices will restore faster.

*do not unlock tier 2 or 3 serum production until you unlocked several profitable traits and designed profitable serums.

Also don't forget to decrease the salary of your workers (weekly performance review or through punishments). The salaries are the biggest drain on your cash. The best way to decrease the salary without losing Happiness/Love is to make sure the sluttiness is below 20 (1 heart), choose punish > threaten to fire > Cut pay. This way she will be thankful for not losing her job and you will get happiness and obedience. After you decrease the salary to 25$ you can start increasing her sluttiness and have fun.

One last tip: don't forget to do a quick save before looking at resumes and before Stephanie calls you to say that a serum design is ready. That way you can rollback and get a different roll of potential employees or avoid creating a serum with flaws (assuming the flaw chance is not 100%).

If I was inaccurate with any information, please let me know so I can correct it.

PS: another tip...compliment/insult the work of your employees daily to get free happiness/obedience.

I'm stuck at that one as well. Sister will take topless or nude pics, but I never heard her say she wants to take pictures with the mother. Someone was saying that I need to unlock positive nudity opinion for mother, but I still see no change.

Need help on Screening Criteria the only policy that works out of them is the breast size ones. All the others don't work. I tested by only having on one screening criteria active at a time. Thank you

Looks like Lily+Mom quest is:

You ask Lily to take pics.
  If there is a special request, Lily will get extra money.
    You can make a special request through the app.  Or there is a 15% chance of one.
    At the event where Mom asks for money, she will ask about Lily's contributions
    You can answer "Tell her about InstaPic" which will add a crisis.
    The crisis requires the MC to be at home, sleeping alone, lily to be in her bedroom
    Next time you do InstaPic with Sis, you can invite mom - if Mom is also home!
      You have to do this twice.  The second time, you can say "Get a little friendlier", then "Get your tits out"
      You will need Lily to be slutty or obedient to do this
      If they go for it:
        They take some photos topless but covering with hands.  Do it again.  #covered
        Second time here, you can get mom to do it without hands if she is okay with incest or slutty (50=2.5 hearts)
          Third time here, you can get Lily to do it without hands if she is okay with incest or slutty (50=2.5 hearts)

Once mom has done the covered pics, see #covered, you can break the anal taboo that way and go from there. You can also break the anal taboo (and bypass the above) by just doing it a number of times.
