Lab Rats 2 v0.50.0 is Live!

A very amusing oopsie! Thank you for your hard work! :)

Ha! I hadn't thought about that being a problem now that you can hire her! I'll uh... Go fix that.

Vren

I'll see what I can do. There's a big image update coming down the pipe that's going to shift around a lot of the core stuff for that (and give me way better animation tools + parameter controls for things like height), so it might not be done until after that.

Thanks for your good work :)

Daily Dose serum is definitely not working for me

role_lactating_serum.rpy line 39: $ milk_serum = get_girl_milky_serum() should be: $ milk_serum = get_girl_milky_serum(the_person) Haven't tested this yet as my game isn't there yet, but this seems to be a simple fix.

I've seen this before, it's caused by not giving a copy of a serum design to give_serum in the code when applying a serum, since the tracking of remaining duration is done by variables in the serum design. I've seen 2 places in the new duties where this happens, the bend_safety_rules and client_demonstration duties. Do you have either of those active for anyone? It looks like the daily doses themselves are copied correctly but once a non-copy is used, any uses afterwards the duration is gone. To fix this, _duty_definitions.rpy lines 96,133: the_person.give_serum(mc.business.get_random_weighed_production_serum()) should be: the_person.give_serum(copy.copy(mc.business.get_random_weighed_production_serum())) There are a couple older places this happens as well. role_mother_main.rpy line 1344 and role_sister_taboo_quests.rpy line 721. NOTE: This won't fix the duration of serum designs that already are broken. For that you would need to fiddle with the serum design variable data through the dev console or something. It's a bit complex to do.

it feels like Serum duration completely breaks after you make the serum a daily dose

Ran into an issue where someone other than the mom is the one to make the text to call the mc to the bedroom for her vaginal taboo quest. I think this can be caused by putting an advance_time call before creating the event in the preceding event in the quest, since the_person can change by random events during advance_time. role_mother_taboo_quests.rpy lines 809 - 813 call advance_time() $ decision_event = Action("make a decision", mom_vaginal_quest_3_requirement, "mom_vaginal_quest_3", args = the_person, requirement_args = [the_person, day + renpy.random.randint(1,3)]) $ mc.business.mandatory_crises_list.append(decision_event) return should be either: $ decision_event = Action("make a decision", mom_vaginal_quest_3_requirement, "mom_vaginal_quest_3", args = the_person, requirement_args = [the_person, day + renpy.random.randint(1,3)]) $ mc.business.mandatory_crises_list.append(decision_event) call advance_time() return or something like: call advance_time() $ decision_event = Action("make a decision", mom_vaginal_quest_3_requirement, "mom_vaginal_quest_3", args = mom, requirement_args = [mom, day + renpy.random.randint(1,3)]) $ mc.business.mandatory_crises_list.append(decision_event) return

On another note for serum copying issues, creating a new milky serum copy every time we milk someone is making a HUGE mess of serum designs with 1 or 2 serums for each, since every milking session is technically a new unique design as far as the serum inventory is concerned. Maybe a better way to do it is to create a single milky serum design when the serum lactation trait is designed that is referred to when producing serum milk?

There are places where a non-copied serum are given to someone. This can cause some issues because there are some variables in the serum design used to keep track of remaining turns for the serum, like duration_counter. An uncopied serum design would cause the serum to instantly expire whenever used again later. Here are the places where give_serum is used without a copy: _duty_definitions.rpy lines 96, 133 role_mother_main line 1344 role_sister_taboo_quests line 721 It may be better to do the serum copying within the give_serum function instead of at the function call to avoid missing places like these. Person.rpy lines 1292 - 1296 could be something like: def give_serum(self,the_serum_design, add_to_log = True): ##Make sure you are passing a copy of the serum, not a reference. if the_serum_design is None: return #We might have handed over no serum because we aren't producing any and a crisis was looking for one, or something similar. self.serum_effects.append(the_serum_design) the_serum_design.run_on_apply(self)

I don't know if this is a bug or the city rep events aren't finished yet, but none of the training or persuasion events are reachable. I know this was added a while ago, but never really checked this before. The events are in the code, but the requirements to have the training be in the trance screen are broken and the actions for doing negotiation, bribes and such are not part of the city_rep_role. Another issue with these is that even if gotten working, the attention policies gotten from them are not actually fully activated (apply_policy or something like it needs to be used) so that they take effect.

I've posted this in previous replies, but I'll put it here as well. I have tested this now and it does fix the issue. The quitting crisis requirement changed and now requires the the_person object to be included in the arguments. This requires a change in a couple places. crises.rpy line 1305: def quiting_crisis_requirement(): #We are only going to look at quitting actions if it is in the middle of the day when people are at work. should be: def quiting_crisis_requirement(the_person): #We are only going to look at quitting actions if it is in the middle of the day when people are at work. With the above, you also need to change the event creation code. role_employee.rpy lines 17 and 30 (since both events use the same requirement function) line 17 potential_quit_action = Action(the_person.name + " is quitting.", quiting_crisis_requirement, "quitting_crisis_label", the_person) should be something like: potential_quit_action = Action(the_person.name + " is quitting.", quiting_crisis_requirement, "quitting_crisis_label", args = [the_person], requirement_args = [the_person]) line 30 request_promotion_action = Action(the_person.name + " requests_promotion", quiting_crisis_requirement, "request_prmotion_crisis_label", the_person) should be something like: request_promotion_action = Action(the_person.name + " requests_promotion", quiting_crisis_requirement, "request_prmotion_crisis_label", args = [the_person], requirement_args = [the_person]) This will not fix the events already triggered, as the arguments provided to the event are already set in the current game data. Fixing this would require digging into and finding the event in mc.business.mandatory_crises_list to replace it.

Person.get_duty_actions is breaking for the "Unemployed" job since that job has no job_location. Not sure what is a good fix for this. In the meantime, I've avoided the issue by checking for a job_location first. lines 2379 and 2388 in Person.rpy if the_person.job.job_location.has_person(self) or not duty.only_at_work: should be: if self.job.job_location and (self.job.job_location.has_person(self) or not duty.only_at_work):

Not sure if these are bugs, but it seemed like something that could cause issues in the new duty methods get_duty_actions, and get_duty_internet_actions in Person.rpy lines 2379 and 2388 in Person.rpy if the_person.job.job_location.has_person(self) or not duty.only_at_work: should be: if self.job.job_location.has_person(self) or not duty.only_at_work:

Starting post of my set of bugfix notes. The rest are replies to avoid huge sets of text posts up front. NOTE: My line numbers are sometimes off from the original code, as I do make a few changes beyond just bugfixes to the code.

I haven't tested this yet, but I think this is what's wrong. The quitting crisis requirement changed and now requires the the_person object to be included in the arguments. This requires a change in a couple places. crises.rpy line 1305: def quiting_crisis_requirement(): #We are only going to look at quitting actions if it is in the middle of the day when people are at work. should be: def quiting_crisis_requirement(the_person): #We are only going to look at quitting actions if it is in the middle of the day when people are at work. With the above, you also need to change the event creation code. role_employee.rpy lines 17 and 30 (since both events use the same requirement function) line 17 potential_quit_action = Action(the_person.name + " is quitting.", quiting_crisis_requirement, "quitting_crisis_label", the_person) should be something like: potential_quit_action = Action(the_person.name + " is quitting.", quiting_crisis_requirement, "quitting_crisis_label", args = [the_person], requirement_args = [the_person]) line 30 request_promotion_action = Action(the_person.name + " requests_promotion", quiting_crisis_requirement, "request_prmotion_crisis_label", the_person) should be something like: request_promotion_action = Action(the_person.name + " requests_promotion", quiting_crisis_requirement, "request_prmotion_crisis_label", args = [the_person], requirement_args = [the_person]) This will not fix the events already triggered, as the arguments provided to the event are already set in the current game data.

Not so much a bug but I'm very amused that Jennifer came and asked me to hire her daughter and then gives me a resume for someone who is NOT Lily lmao

Twenty-two doses for fourteen employees. If it is working for you, maybe a file got corrupted in my download.

Do you have enough serums in stock? In my experience it only works when there are enough for them all.

waffel

The tier 2 serums I create seem to have a random duration from o turns to the expected 8 turns

I can confirm I'm getting the same 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'job' error. Seems to work if I ignore it, but the error persists every turn afterwards.

The Daily Serum Dosage policy doesn't seem to be working. I have assigned the women the Daily Serum Dose duty and assigned a serum to be given every day but no one from any department is given a serum. The Mandatory Unpaid Serum Testing works. Haven't tested the Mandatory Paid Serum Testing.

For the people on limited internet connections, is it possible when going from a .0 to .1 update to post a link without the image files unless those files have changed?

Company Efficiency is dropping on weekend turns

I assigned Heavy Workload to Steph on day one and she appears to be generating Supplies instead of extra Research

New written stuff will be coming in v0.51. Behind the scenes "Duties" give me a very useful way to track, change, and reference what a person is doing with their time and have events keyed off of manipulating those duties. Rebecca, for example, could end up with a "Gym Workout" duty, and that can be used to organize all of the info about storyline stuff related to that. Jennifer can have duties related to "home work", ranging from simple cleaning to dutifully providing you "stress relief" on command. I was planning to have more of that stuff in this update, but time got away from me and I figured I should make sure the business side of things was stable first.

Vren

Ditto to the above, more content as opposed to more mechanics :) Still love the updates and game, don't get me wrong <3

SomebodyElse

Could you possibly add more story content for Rebecca and Gabi? Don’t get me wrong I feel like I’m going to enjoy this update but I’d also like story content and maybe new ways to have sex with people? Or maybe new locations like in the last lab rats you had a beach setting for Saturdays. Is there a way beaches could be added in?
