Thanks for that input! It is very well thought through and valuable to me.

One thing I definitely didn't know about was the refresh-the-page Secretary trick. I like the idea of making the flow state increase points earned during the actual minigame, although the flow state was originally introduced so that people would play the minigame one or two times to build it up, and then use Auto-work a few times. I wonder if I make the incentive for actually playing Wordle every round too high, if that will make this segment drag on for people - usually I just play 1 round of Wordle until I solve one puzzle, and then I continue on.

I like the XP multiplier going up by 1% for getting a 10x combo! Although I might put it on a weekly halving cooldown so that people who do it don't have 500% XP multipliers over time.

I agree that the money earned during stripping feels random. There is a formula to it but it does have a big randomness element that can be put into a more consistent state.

I have removed essence spoilage for the time being. Ultimately this may be re-implemented once there is a quest to remove it.
Sorry for reply to such old post but as of current version the essence spoilage seems to be still in the game and I can't find mentions of spoilage reset either in the game, forum or the changelog.

Am I missing something or is the only way to reset spoilage a mod?

Baby gooner, lol

Regarding the tags, kind of wish they had a way of sorting by "severity"/focus of the content, because right now it's impossible to sort strictly lesbian works from those that have one character/scene focused on yuri, but, man, would that need a lot of work, and that idea about a legion of NEETs tagging all of the stuff is just horseshit... unless you actually want no consistency and useless tags all over the place.
VNDB has that for VN tags (as opposed to character tags) - they are scaled from 0 to 3 + they also have tags like "pregnancy end" vs "pregnant sex scenes" which I appreciate coz pregnancy tags for porn games are biggest bait ever.

In general VNDB also has absurdly good search system, probably the best I have seen, and that includes professional industry software that license costs are in thousands. Only issues is that because the tag system is complex only most popular games get tagged properly and even then stuff slips under the radar.

There's ' ' mod available.
Thanks, I sort of knew there was mod for it but I hoped that there is non-mod solution for it as sort of the message I am replying indirectly suggest.

Aphrodite says they will remove spoilage till they add quest to reset it -> I see that spoilage is in the current version of the game, I assume that such quest got added...

Wanted to avoid mods coz my laptop does not have 9gigs to spare, thanks to the magic of Windows bloating itself over a decade.

Sorry, I saw what you really was asking after I posted. But I did give the cheats a look to see if anything was there, which unfortunately there wasn't. But lucky for you, the mod loader is only 14mg and the the above mod is 2.35 kB. Many of the mods that do little things like this aren't very large since there isn't any media files involved.

Looking at the code, I see no in-game method for reducing this number or the other values associated with the mechanic, but if you don't mind using console commands you can reset the counter with: Harlowe.API_ACCESS.STATE.variables.times_essence_extracted = 0. It's also worth noting that the decrease in effectiveness is capped at 50% though, so you could never reach a point where it was unusable, it will just take twice as long as if there were no reduction once your number of extractions reaches the mid-twenties.

Incidentally, it is possible without mods (but with the above console command) to make the process more than 100% effective, as times_essence_extracted can be set to negative values without issue. Setting it to around -25 roughly doubles extraction effectiveness for instance, though of course one could simply add Essence directly through the console if they so desired too.
