Stationmaster 0.12 Preliminary Design
Added 2018-06-19 19:02:51 +0000 UTCThat was a bit of a marathon, but now that 0.11 is done, it's time to start work on 0.12: The Rules Assistant.
Design:
New Screen: Rules Assistant
The rules assistant will let you set up rules that govern how your slaves are clothed or assigned based on their attributes. You will be able to create as many rules as you want, and they'll be triggered constantly on your slaves. Hopefully, this will make managing large numbers of slaves more manageable.
Available Conditions:
- Assignment
- Weight/Breast Size/Muscle/Etc
- Obedience/Fear
- Age
- Pregnancy
- Species
Available Actions:
- Set Assignment
- Set Hormones
- Add/Remove Implant
- Set Hair Color/Style
- Set Skin Color
- Set Clothing
Other Stuff:
This one shouldn't be nearly as hard to implement as pregnancy, so I'm planning on taking some time to clear the backlog. I'm not sure what that's going to look like yet, but there will definitely be a bunch of random improvements stacked onto this one.
Comments
The point of the RA engine is to let anyone be able to customize rules as he see fit. So even if there isnt a specifix "slave value" criteria, you might achieve the same result by combining poor skills and poor obedience in a rule

2018-06-24 05:02:36 +0000 UTCI'm not quite sure what you mean. The advanced milking station produces passive revenue. The assignment doesn't have any effect on what happens when you click on slaves.

2018-06-22 22:39:42 +0000 UTCIs the Advanced Milking Station supposed to start at once? I'll look at the slave and it will stay they're at 100% lactation, but nothing will happen until you click them.

2018-06-21 07:10:27 +0000 UTCHmm. I thought I had fixed the event issue. I'll check it out again for the next patch. As for the girls falling through the floor, that one is high on my list, but it's a subtle one. Not sure when I'll be able to fix that.

2018-06-20 16:17:43 +0000 UTCI agree about the girls falling through the floor being extremely immersion breaking. I had the message bug happen a lot, too. Try opening the .sav file in notepad++ and scroll down to the bottom, where the "event"s are. Erase the ones you know are fukt, and save and they should be gone when you get back in your game.

2018-06-20 16:07:48 +0000 UTCThe game is awsome to play, couple things that bug me though are slaves that fall through the floor when you Fuk them especially shorter ones. And, the 'slave born' crashes the game. This may not happen all the time but if you let your task bar on left fill up and you click on one of the 'slave born' buttons a blank page occurs. No way to get around it other than starting over.

2018-06-20 06:28:52 +0000 UTCI would like to emphasize that the rules assistant engine should be built with future additions in mind. Things like revamping slaves stats, new slave roles, new rooms etc will impact the tools needed in the rules assistant. Free cities engine was clunky and it was a pain to efficiently create sets of rules to assign slaves automatically to specific rooms and jobs when captured or bought. I m aware you know your stuff a lot more than i do (understatement....) but i thought it was fair to mention this.
