v0.4.1 is live!

Is there anything I'm supposed to search for in the lab?

Shawn Dee

Are there any more details to it? Does she have to be exactly at 40? Because when I talk to her at night past 40, she only talks about work or the party

Shawn Dee

Get Nora to 40, talk to her at night in the lab. Abuse save system when necessary.

Also, sorry if it's been answered already but how do you get purple serum??

Shawn Dee

Man, check your python files, they are NOT encrypted, i suggest you to do it as soon as possible to avoid that someone can steal you assets!!!

So how do purple work. I got them and gave them but it didn't really do anything. Is is an overtime thing or does it get rid of or decrease the resistance next time?

Bob Bryan

Read the earlier comments please. Its a bug and the fix has already been mentioned above

The only non-repeatable scene is Steph and her questioning of the inventory. The sister and the movie I find I get better results on the weekends, but you have to visit her a TON. Mom stirring in the night and Lily needing water happening multiple times early helps a lot.

I figured it out. Fraekke's advise about not repeating the same scenes was the key for me, although it required alot of "save and load". Also, is it possible that the going to the movies with your sister is a 1 time thing? If not, I might've have the worst rng ever.

megaera

I mean all character at 90+ resistance no real way to lower it.

megaera

There is only a set amount of resistance reduction available for each mini-event (it takes the girl's current resistance into account, so don't worry about bumping into a scene when the girl has 0 resistance). At the same time you get less benefits from each major scene the higher the girls resistance gets, AND you get a higher resistance hit each time you use the same scene (If I've read the code right, this should be split into different actions in each scene, but he hasn't gotten that to work properly yet). Bonus info: the resistance hit seems to be added after the influence raise, so for a final raise don't worry about revisiting a scene you've used many times - as long as you don't need to raise that girls' influence again later. So you need to raise the girls' influence/sluttyness using as many different scenes as possible to begin with, and try to get the girls' resistance down with minor scenes between major scenes. Also make intelligent use of the serums: use the red serum early when the buff to resistance has less of an impact (first time for each scene if you can, as that is always a 0 resist gain) and save the purple for later when their influence is high enough to get the better options with reduced influence. Be warned: red does not always give you a better option (mostly when girl is at 0, but there may be other cases), so quick-save at the serum selection screen and check!

Agree on the mommy/sister sleep thing. Maybe as you progress during the game make it much more likely they will seek your company at night? .... and check if both girls need company (let's move the party to mom's bed?) >:-)

I believe its a bug, and I've reported it as such to Vren, the "knows serum" check is there to remove a dialog once you no longer need it, but it checks for the wrong serum. To enable finding the purple serum after you've found the red, open game/script.rpy in your favorite text editor and change Line 5519 (I think - I have modified my script, so line numbers may not be accurate) from: "Ask about your new Serum research." if knows_advanced_info and not knows_red_serum: to "Ask about your new Serum research." if knows_advanced_info and not knows_purple_serum:

How do you mean locked? Honestly I'm thinking about abandoning red completely.

Chevy

And personally I get resistance locked around day 60 and can't do anything.

megaera

Actually getting the red serum info REMOVES the possibility to talk to Nora about the purple serum. That fucked me up for a while. Don't know if its wanted or a bug. And getting the purple serum doesn't close off Nora's dialog to get it.

megaera

Haydes I honestly feel the resistances are perfect. I had a game where I had Steph at 175. To me that's over the top. I'll go through Steph a bit and maybe it will help and I'll try not to give any spoilers. To me there are two major do nots in this game. The first being don't search the entire lab until you have Nora over 40. When she's over 40 have that evening chat about the research and the next morning go online and get the purple info. THEN search the entire lab and get the red info. Also the one non-repeatable scene in the game(as far as I can tell) is chatting about work with Steph at the lab in the morning. I wait until she's a higher level with no resistance to have that talk and get the max influence from the encounter. As for Steph's or anyone's resistance the way to lower it is the minor scenes. Day one and day two you need to go by the numbers which I won't spoil here. Day three I spike Steph's drink in the morning and do the same on day four. Boom 12 influence with a 10 resistance. Day five get her phone number in the morning. This may lead to going back outside and back to the lab a lot until you find Steph in the lab . You're off and running with Steph. The minor scenes have a big impact the first time you see a new scene. For example if I text Steph that night and flirt with her the "nuclear option" lowers her resistance five points. When you see the same scene again it's not as impactful. Texting her(dependable) and taking a nap under the tree in the morning on campus (anything but dependable) are the only ways to trigger minor scenes with her early. She breaks into that 25ish range you get more options as she might get naked in the morning or the A/C go out with Nora at a similar level. Higher levels (along with Nora) can trigger kissing scenes between the two at night with some fun progressions on that scene as their influence goes higher. But giving some one purple for scene after doing the scene twice with blue(and getting their resistance back to zero) is a great way to go. You can't "jump" a scene level, but the resistance is the same as the second blue(10). And this last part don't quote me on....but purple seems to make later resistance jumps not as bad with other serums. Hope that all helps Haydes. Try and see if you still feel the same about the resistances being too harsh.

Chevy

There is a minor bug in game/script.rpy I forgot to report: Line 11239: [inputname] should be [inputName] (capital N) It occurs if you grope Stephs ass during the party. Search for "Thank you for the dance" (without the quotes) if you're using a text editor without line numbers.

I feel the resistances are still too harsh. I finally made a purple serum thinking it would help lower resistance but it still raised it, and made thee target less open to suggestions. So I still think the only serum worth using is red until another re-balance.

Haydes

If it hasn't changed from the last version: You just keep spamming her with texts about help with biology; eventually it triggers the event.

C0mplex

How do you get Nora to come over to your place? I've done it before but I have no idea what the steps are.

JJATH

Yeah I can only make red.

JJATH

I assume the Hub thing for Lily, is when you go to her room and she's there and you get more and more options? I very much enjoyed that, because it made sense once you progressed that you could do things with her without the serum. All the girls need that. Also when going to sleep, there should be options to sleep with mom or sister, or both, and not have to wait for random event.

Don't talk about serum with Nora till you have 40 points with her. do not search either lab either. when your points are above 40 talk with her about serum, then do internet in the morning. you will get option to post after posting see Steph. you should be able to make purple. So far I have only been able to make red or purple not both....EDIT I searched lab twice broke into cabinet with card. now I can make all serum. this is how I did it. there may be other ways,

Threetees

Me neither. And I am also a $5 contributor.

Norpuma

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find a download link ($5 contributor)

Don Brown

I dont know if it still applies, but in 0.4 that one variable was actually "sisO.slut_score" not "sis_slut_score". If you're up for a bit of work,open up scripts.rpy(after you make a backup of course), use ctrl+f and change them over to see if that works.

I got the same thing when talking to her. Is this the hub scene? I haven't found it yet. And is purple gone gone in this one too. Nora doesn't give the option about contacting other researchers. Thank you for the early roll out and enjoy your vaca.

You get the red by searching the office and finding some papers in a locked cabinet then talking to stephanie in morning for help. I cant work out purple, I think it has to do with calling Nora on phone about studying help...?

Tu

Really good stuff, definitely need to make more of it.

How do we make red and purple serums? I talked to Nora but I don't know what else to do.

If anyone else experiences this problem this solution worked for me

Great!!

Kravenar Games

@ParagonBennet! It is! It's a simple bug that can easily be fixed! I'll write my fix here, since I expect Vren is on a vacation now! Basically the bug is in (private)Lab_Rats-0.4.1-all\game\script.rpy The bug is that the value "sis_slut_score" isn't written right, so I suggest opening it in notepad (or something) and then seach for that value You'll find it easily if you search for it. What you then do is you change it to "sisO.slut_score" instead. Hope it helps!

How do we activate Lily's Hub scene? If it's the part where you just walk in on her reading her phone, I think there's a bug cause I keep hitting that Traceback error.

ParagonFlynn

Cool.
