Lab Rats 2 v0.15.1 Public Release!

Aaah, I see the issue now. I thought I had it flagged that a dedicated production trait was required to create the design but it seems like it wasn't. I'll have that fixed for v0.16.

Vren

Its not an issue with side effects Vren. Its a result of using high capacity design and any other trait without a production trait, resulting in a 1 trait serum with a cost of 0 (because the serum cost is defined by the production trait used). Easy solution, make a production trait required in order to create a new serum design, or at the very least to use high capacity design.

But I liked that side effect!

Are you on Android by any chance? It is my understanding that the game has to unpackage all of the assets which can take a significant amount of time. If you're on PC or Mac, there's a loading time bug/issue that I'm working on resolving right now.

Vren

Alright, it's time I tracked this problem down and fixed it. If the cause ends up being interesting maybe I'll write down a bug post mortem on it.

Vren

You're absolutely correct that that was a typo and was intended to be -20. Sluttiness can actually drop to negative numbers internally, so a -20 when at 0 will drop the girl down to -20, then up to 0 at the end. @Ano Nymous, do you have any record for what traits or side effects were involved with that serum problem. Looking through my side effect declarations none of them should be lowering production cost so something strange is going on there.

Vren

Most of the changes were bug fixes and some behind the scenes planning for future content. The only new major pieces of content are: * A new morning event that can trigger on the weekend that involves Mom and Lily. * A new morning event that can trigger any morning that involves Lily. * Some updated date dialogue that changes based on family relationships and personalities. If you played v0.15.0 until you felt like you were done v0.15.1 probably doesn't have enough new content to be worth a new playthrough.

Yay new update!

Additionally, it's possible to get negative traits which set the production cost of the serum to 0, which causes a divide-by-zero error on line 658 of script.rpy. I tried modifying it to be "...//(the_serum.production_cost+1)" (i.e. to make it so it COULDN'T be 0), and now I have like 6000 doses of a mostly useless serum to sell. ....oops.

There is a bug in the serum side effects that makes the game too easy. libido_suppressant_on_apply adds 20 to the core and to the temp sluttiness and then adds another 20 to both on libido_suppressant_on_remove. Based on the name the first one should be -20 instead and anyway the way it is coded right now if the person has less than 20 sluttiness it would set the sluttiness to 0 when adding the serum effect and it would set to at least 20 when removing the effect. That doesn't look like the expected behavior either.

i think it is mostly bug fixes for example i would get errors from time to time when receiving pictures on my phone

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I am delighted to see new events making their way in. I know you've spend a lot of time fine tuning the serum mechanics and the like, and it certainly shows. Now though, it's more the relative shortage of narrative content that is felt most. So it's wonderful to see that being addressed.

Mr. L

Several reports over at the Zone that it becomes unresponsive and does not progress past the "Loading Images Screen", still using the RenPy SDK to launch works smoothly and only takes a couple of seconds.

the game doesn't make it past the loading screen for me.

Graeme Cracker

I'm confused, which are the changes from 0.15.0 to 0.15.1? And will I need to start a new game? I know I ask you this all the time, but it is aggravating to have to restart from scratch (with new women), so I don't want to bother if the changes are minor.

thanksss
