You can Build Stall if you've already done a Build Sex Toys this loop (but stalls are buggy in other ways, you'll be able to take the stall actions next loop). Repair Milking Station can be done whenever you want, and Build Sex Toys works twice per loop with no prerequisites besides Tinker skill (or at least none I have noticed).

Fuck actions which are sufficiently quick seem to not consistently give rewards. In the 10-20k stat level (and >1k kink levels), I'm sometimes failing to get any progress from various fucks. My guess is this happens when they happen too quickly for the animation to show up? The same might happen for other actions, but if you repeat them the animation appears so it's not a problem. Obviously that doesn't work for actions you can't repeat.

Starting flux can be increased with the monster stat Flux Control, which you get from the person who claims to gives you +Charm Magic (the tooltip is inaccurate).

Repair Milking Station can be done whenever you want, and Build Sex Toys works twice per loop, if you were wondering about either of those.

Edit: the following is wrong, Fuck Vampire in particular just has a minimum flux cost much larger than other Fuck actions. That might be a bug? 

The flux costs of at least the first iteration of some actions (I've noticed this most prominently on Fuck Vampire but I expect it happens in some other places) seems to be determined on entering the area rather than when you take them. In particular, Do Makeup does not reduce the flux cost of an immediate Fuck Vampire, though it does reduce the flux cost of further Do Makeup actions in the same chain. (I'm not sure whether this is true of you add the Fuck Vampire to the action list after starting the Do Makeups but I believe it is.)

Make Flux Latte and Attend Customer don't seem to be consistent about how strong the returns on extra stats are. At Barista 138, my first Flux Latte is giving me net +6632 flux including the cost of a Go To Cafe (minimal due to to Pack Mule), Collect Milk, and the cost of the action itself with only a Go To Cafe and a Collect Milk as setup actions to boost stats. My second Attend Customer is net +1608 flux after the action flux cost but nothing else even with a first Attend Customers plus some relatively minor travel and a Work and Buy City Permit for stat boosting. The tooltip formula puts a Flux Latte at +2760, not quite twice what an Attend Customer gives, but even if the Attend cost a full 1k flux (definitely false) it would still be giving less than half the benefit of the Latte.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or just something different about how easily the actions are boosted under the hood, but it seems worth mentioning just in case.

Ooh, thank you!

I'm trying to run long loops and it takes a lot of time to click the + button even just 1500 times. Some of the longer loops I would like to do involve >100k repeats of an action, and that's just not practical as things are. It might be useful to add a keyboard input or some similar rapid method for repeat count rather than just +1/-1.

Your stat value is very visible (it's the left number on your stats), but the current flux costs are not displayed anywhere I know of. I'm measuring it by counting how many times an infinite repeat action happens in 10,000 flux

Flux costs and action time decrease with (current loop) stat value, though there might be a lower bound at around 2 flux/action (I haven't gotten past that for Do Makeup even in the high ten thousands)

This would be a useful feature to add, but note this loop will rapidly stall out after condom prices rise past the amount you gain from working.

I'm not sure if this is the game or just my browser, but when an action gets sufficiently cheap in flux my loop starts to slow down. Specifically, I currently have Do Makeup taking slightly under 2 flux per action and the scrub completes about 10 times per second. It was previously (in the same loop) completing about 20 times/second while taking slightly over 2 flux per action. It might be useful to have a built-in "spend ×10 flux for ×10 rewards" option on actions which can be repeated like this? I don't actually know whether that would help but it might.

I'm testing in browser so I can't directly edit my save, but with high enough multipliers the time scaling with stats is easily visible. Effect scaling definitely exists, because the flux maximum jumps I was seeing in the brothel before any charm magic were ~2000 and the action supposedly supplies only 1500 total (and flux lattes make this really obvious but I've had charm magic for most of the testing), but I have no easy way to quantify it or to say how it works for anything but +Flux.

I'm reasonably certain this is false? I've started Fuck actions with substantially under 1000 flux and finished them before the end of the loop with high enough stats, and completed 30 repeats of a 300-flux action within 4500 flux. I've also timed how long each copy of a ×20 action takes, and with high multipliers they get notably faster (my current first action of a Lift Weights ×20 takes about 3/2 the time the last Lift Weights in that set needs, counting by number of animation shifts per action completion). Speed Up might also be doing something but stat levels dramatically accelerate actions.

(Also, from running a single-action loop which freezes rather than looping at the end I am quite sure a single Chat Up gains net +101 flux, not +100. Further Chat Ups net more than that in a way which I assume scales with stats.)

Huh, that's convincing. Guess I just wasn't timing closely enough. Good to know!

Edit: for anyone who wants to quantify things, data point: at Speed Up 75, I spend 10,000 flux in a little under 4.5 minutes realtime.

Are you sure that's not just the increase in stat multipliers? Stat levels decrease action flux costs, which is why I was measuring by how long it takes to spend flux. (If Speed Up affects the degree to which stats make things cheaper it might be working just fine.)

This and Speed Up both didn't seem to work on a quick test of Chat Up Locals and spending a flat amount of flux (timed in real-time), though if Speed Up is part of the formula for how much stats speed up actions I wouldn't have noticed it with my tests

Accept Punishment has a great animation (and it's incredibly efficient with its pixels) but I expect it's supposed to require you to be in stocks? Right now I seem to be able to take the action while in the Undercity by traveling, and I can immediately follow it by wandering off.

My guess is this is what I've had happen, in which case: 

- if you delete an action from the action list and refresh, you should have a cleared action list

- if you go to a location and Flirt with X, you will unlock the associated sex action

- for the other vanished actions, you need to do whatever action unlocked them at least once (Repair Milking Station at the Farm before you can Use Milking Station, Work at the Cafe before you can Barista Training or anything, you might sometimes need to Scavenge before you can use the actions unlocked by Scavenge)

I don't know of any solution for the Undercity link though, and this might not help if you have the UI bug as well.

Is there any difference between a letter grade of S and the letter grade of S which comes after you fill up the S bar? I could count pixels of XP gained but that seems painful.

Count Cards is +Perception but the tooltip doesn't mention this, I have no idea about the other ones. Pole Dance also doesn't seem to do anything? It gives a rank and it's 1/loop but I haven't seen any effects of that rank

Scavenge:

-Border Town: extra locals

-Cafe: unlocks Collect Milk

-Gym: no effect I noticed

-Under Town: locked at 0% (and does nothing I noticed even after enough actions for 100%)

-Apothecary: doesn't even have a % (and does nothing I noticed even after enough actions for 100%)

-Gambler's Den: no effect I noticed

-Strip Club: unlocks Collect City Pass (there's dialogue which should be for this but which seems to actually happen while scavenging at the Cafe)

-Inner City: unlocks Collect Underwear

-Brothel: unlocks Collect Condoms

-Sex Toy Lab: no effect I noticed

-Garden: can't scavenge here

-Tavern: no effect I noticed

-Farm: no effect I noticed

Oh well :(

Extra bug(?) reports: 

1) Vanilla seems to be increasing dramatically slower than Exhibitionism in late levels (I have level ~60 Exhib and level ~15 Vanilla after taking close to equal numbers of the relevant actions). Is it intentionally slow, not affected by Self-Love, or some similar thing? 

2) Even with Speed Up 26 and Charm Magic 33, my first Chat with Locals action is costing 100 flux to gain 201 (or possibly -99/+200) and seems to take the same amount of real time. Are there conditions on them? If not, one or the other may be broken.

3) I can sometimes build the stall (this seems to be available after Build Sex Toys, which claims to be -5 Scrap. Possible that's itself a bug? Not sure how Scrap is supposed to work because nothing talks about it), but I can't Flip a Coin after doing so (same "I'll need a stall to do this" error message). On the other hand, after building a stall I can Flip a Coin in the next loop and future loops unless I Build a Stall.

4) The fairy letter grade seems to be stuck at E. I'm at negative Remaining for strip poker, so I'm collecting underwear from the Inner City to get to the necessary 10, which may or may not matter.

5) Count Cards increases perception multiplier but the tooltip doesn't mention this. 

6) The Cafe Collect Milk action says +Hands in tooltip, but in reality gives +Milk as you would expect. (Is there a Hands kink somewhere? If so I have found no ways to increase it.)

Minor bug report, playing on browser, I went away from the game and came back to find it frozen and when I reloaded to fix this, all my unlocked actions were locked again. Stats weren't affected, but all the "fuck" actions required me to "flirt" again before showing up and so on. More problematically, the path from Under City to Border Town vanished, and no amount of exploring the Under City (it was at 100% and remains so) has changed this. (Is there a simple way to reset my exploration progress to 0% or something like that? I'm fine re-doing the explore actions as long as it's possible for me to eventually discover the connection.)

Edit: The full action reset has now happened multiple times, so I have some idea how to cause it! When I reload on an overly long action list, the reloaded page does not allow action list alterations and the list display is broken. When I reload again after clearing the action list, my actions are reset.
