i've not managed to hire one yet :-(

Made a mistake in the above fix. I edited it out, but in case someone read it already, do not change line 309.

There was a big change in serum selling since v0.47, so if you're coming since before then, you may have to adjust to the new system. Are you doing "Find new clients." at all? If you don't at all, then yeah it can quickly become more cost than profit because of production costs after selling like 100-200 serums I think, even faster if there are any side effects in the serums which can absolutely bring a serum to actually cost money to sell. New research won't help in this case because that just increases the amount of aspect in the serum, not bring the aspect price back up, which is what market reach is for. Aspect price is sort of related to (Market Reach)/(Amount Aspect Sold). To summarize what I think is the result of the current code: Aspect price = 10/(1+(AAS/MR)) If you are finding new clients as well and still getting negative serums, then I'm stumped. More info would be appreciated on what you are selling, how much, how much market reach you have, any side effects in the serums, anything else you might think would effect it.

Been having trouble getting my reply post to stick. Putting it here as well. Does Patreon have a character limit or something for comments or replies? Issues with the mom's interview events are that the requirement functions for the events were not updated to include the mom's Person object as an argument. This can be gotten away with for LTE's and actions associated with a specific person, since 'the_person' is already defined in those cases, however it breaks these particular events. This requires changes in a few places. This is a pain to try and fix for a current game, but I'll include that too. Vren, please be more careful when changing event arguments or event requirement functions! To fix the requirement functions themselves. role_mother_work.rpy line 15 def mom_work_promotion_one_before_requirement(start_day): should be def mom_work_promotion_one_before_requirement(the_person, start_day): line 33 def mom_work_promotion_two_intro_requirement(start_day): should be def mom_work_promotion_two_intro_requirement(the_person, start_day): To fix when the events are created during the game. role_mother_work.rpy line 174 $ mom_work_promotion_one_before_crisis = Action("mom work promotion one before", mom_work_promotion_one_before_requirement, "mom_work_promotion_one_before", args = the_person, requirement_args = renpy.random.randint(day+3, day+8)) should be $ mom_work_promotion_one_before_crisis = Action("mom work promotion one before", mom_work_promotion_one_before_requirement, "mom_work_promotion_one_before", args = the_person, requirement_args = [the_person, renpy.random.randint(day+3, day+8)]) line 343 $ mom_work_promotion_two_intro_crisis = Action("mom work promotion two intro crisis", mom_work_promotion_two_intro_requirement, "mom_work_promotion_two_intro", args = the_person, requirement_args = renpy.random.randint(day+2, day+4)) should be $ mom_work_promotion_two_intro_crisis = Action("mom work promotion two intro crisis", mom_work_promotion_two_intro_requirement, "mom_work_promotion_two_intro", args = the_person, requirement_args = [the_person,renpy.random.randint(day+2, day+4)]) For games where you already stated going through these events, then the previous change will not fix it. I'll include the fix for after the first event, before the actual interview which is when it seems everyone is erroring or never triggering mom going to the interview (my case). If you somehow got past this, you can do something similar, but using the other event's name and Action creation. You can run the following lines in the dev console or by putting them somewhere in the code you can trigger manually. temp = [crisis for crisis in mc.business.mandatory_morning_crises_list if crisis.name == 'mom work promotion one before'][0] mc.business.mandatory_morning_crises_list.remove(temp) mom_work_promotion_one_before_crisis = Action("mom work promotion one before", mom_work_promotion_one_before_requirement, "mom_work_promotion_one_before", args = the_person, requirement_args = [mom]+temp.requirement_args) mc.business.mandatory_morning_crises_list.append(mom_work_promotion_one_before_crisis) del temp

Fixing this is annoying, but I go through it in my fourth reply to my "Putting my bug reports as replies here." comment.

The fix for this is in my third reply for my "Putting my bug reports as replies here." comment.

The fix for this is in my third reply for my "Putting my bug reports as replies here." comment.

The new candidate recruitment policies don't work because the function that uses them to generate candidate requirements (generate_candidate_requirements at the end of Business.rpy) is never used. To fix, add it in business_actions.rpy label interview_action_description business_actions.rpy line 170 for x in range(0,count+1): #NOTE: count is given +1 because the screen tries to pre-calculate the result of button presses. This leads to index out-of-bounds, unless we pad it with an extra character (who will not be reached). candidates.append(make_person()) should be: for x in range(0,count+1): #NOTE: count is given +1 because the screen tries to pre-calculate the result of button presses. This leads to index out-of-bounds, unless we pad it with an extra character (who will not be reached). candidate_requirements = mc.business.generate_candidate_requirements() candidates.append(make_person(candidate_requirements))

Found this issue related to no work walk in events. Please look at the second reply in the post below, don't want to copy the long set of text here.

The work walk-in LTE doesn't trigger anymore. I think the changes to how to handle schedule and hiring have broken the person_at_work function (crises.rpy line 164). This is also breaking a few other things, like moving an employee to a different division, the spank at work LTE, and others. I think this at least fixes the person_at_work function: crises.rpy line 164: def person_at_work(the_person): #Returns True if the_person is at whatever location their work location is if the_person.work is not None and the_person.work.has_person(the_person): return True else: return False changed to def person_at_work(the_person): #Returns True if the_person is at whatever location their work location is if the_person.job is not None and the_person.job.job_location.has_person(the_person): return True else: return False This still leaves problems, as moving employess is currently broken with only this change (It ends up with a new copy of them, or at least put into 2 locations, instead of moving them). I think move_person should be used instead of add_person since you commented out the remove_employee as it's only for firing now. role_employee.rpy line 790 ish menu: "Research and Development.": $ mc.business.add_employee_research(the_person) $ mc.business.r_div.add_person(the_person) "Production.": $ mc.business.add_employee_production(the_person) $ mc.business.p_div.add_person(the_person) "Supply Procurement.": $ mc.business.add_employee_supply(the_person) $ mc.business.s_div.add_person(the_person) "Marketing.": $ mc.business.add_employee_marketing(the_person) $ mc.business.m_div.add_person(the_person) "Human Resources.": $ mc.business.add_employee_hr(the_person) $ mc.business.h_div.add_person(the_person) I changed to: menu: "Research and Development.": $ mc.business.add_employee_research(the_person) $ mc.business.move_person(the_person,mc.business.r_div) "Production.": $ mc.business.add_employee_production(the_person) $ mc.business.move_person(the_person,mc.business.p_div) "Supply Procurement.": $ mc.business.add_employee_supply(the_person) $ mc.business.move_person(the_person,mc.business.s_div) "Marketing.": $ mc.business.add_employee_marketing(the_person) $ mc.business.move_person(the_person,mc.business.m_div) "Human Resources.": $ mc.business.add_employee_hr(the_person) $ mc.business.move_person(the_person,mc.business.h_div) I think there is still some clean up work needed to replace anything affected by the old set_work function into the new add_job function.

The larger tits recruitment policies are using a non-existent (get_random_big_tits) random generator function. line 884 ish: if recruitment_big_tits_policy.is_active(): candidate_dict["tits"] = get_random_big_tits() elif recruitment_huge_tits_policy.is_active(): candidate_dict["tits"] = get_random_big_tits() should be: if recruitment_big_tits_policy.is_active(): candidate_dict["tits"] = get_random_big_tit() elif recruitment_huge_tits_policy.is_active(): candidate_dict["tits"] = get_random_huge_tit()

Putting my bug reports as replies here.

Not possible to move employees?

I think theres also something wrong with the way serums work now. the price they sell for keep going down until it goes past zero and into the negative range for each sale. i hope this is not a way to make the game more challenging for us because at this point i had to start the game over at least five times because i quickly run out of money i cant build up clarity fast enough to unlock new things and even when i unlock new things the price expectancy for each serum is very low to $1 - $3 i hope this is fixed.

Yup... hit that one too.

Rebecca stuck in the same room after moving to the appartment? No drink wine event.

The teenage worker policy isn't working for new recruits...

Is anyone able to get the lap dance from a stripper? I'm not seeing the option. I also didn't see any difference at work between family members and other employees.

"Now you can invite your favourite NPC's from around town to fill critical business positions." Thumbs up

Initial Testing 'Teen' requirement does seem to work. (with all 'improvement' options enabled, and only screening teenager active (for critieria) still get full random ages. Likewise with 'Old' get numerous people under 40. Still trying to do testing, but thinking it might be if the old selection matches, increase age floor, then "if age is None: age = renpy.random.randint(age_floor,age_ceiling)" is breaking if age_floor > age_ceiling

Please consider adding an option to enter a number in the auto-sell for production line.

It's one of the quests that comes up to give you skill points. You have to impregnate a certain amount of people, I assume.
