First and foremost, my sincerest thanks for taking the time and effort to create this incredible expansion for the game AricTriton!

While dabbling around with the version 0.9.4 I came across a problem with the snail pit Management panel, which boils down to two bugs.

The first one is that when assigning available eggs to sell, the number in between the buttons doesn't in- or decrease, while the text in the box above changes as is intended. Instead the number of 'Unassigned' (Far left of the panel) in- or decreased from or to zero in accordance to how often the sell-buttons are clicked. Actually trying to sell the eggs resulted in the following error message once the day end button is clicked:

SCRIPT ERROR: dailyFarm: Invalid get index 'goldper' (on base: 'Dictionary').
   At: user://mods/AricsExpansion/scripts/aricsexpansion/expansionfarm.gd:1291.
SCRIPT ERROR: _on_end_pressed: Invalid operands 'String' and 'Nil' in operator '+'.
   At: res://files/scripts/Mansion.gd:1318.

Removing any remaining eggs from the sell option that remained after an attempted sale resolves the error and the game continues normally.

The second error pertains to the 'assign to Hatch' option which, whether an incubator is a available or not, assigns all eggs to cooking for all intents and purposes. No errors occur, since the cooking option works as intended.

While I'm at the topic of snails, is it intended that you have to build the Hatchery for the encounter with the snails to be available? Because no matter what I did at the farm, without the vanilla Hatchery I could not find any.

I also encountered a third problem. After building the Beauty Parlor, I was unable to decorate the nether regions of my female servants, as all options for that area didn't show up. Looking though the slave_tab.gd, I found a simple solution to that particular problem can be implemented in the line 784 (line number according to an Unmoded vanilla script):

if ii.requirement == null || ( person.consent == true && ii.requirement == 'lewdness') || (person.penis != 'none' && person.consent == true && ii.id == 10) || (person.vagina == 'normal' && person.consent == true && (ii.id == 8 || ii.id == 9)):

by simply replacing person.vagina == 'normal' with person.vagina != 'none'

I guess this is due to how the mod classifies vaginas?

Anyway, that's all I could find. Thanks again to everyone that has help bring the mod as far as it is

Oh hell yeah, update is out! I hadn't even realized 0.9 was up, much less already fully bug free :D

Time to finally start my farm... now if only I could remember which slave I had intended to be the manager, heh.

Appreciate your work as always Aric <3

Is the "lactating giant-titted cow" quest broken? I've done it dozens of times past, but now Melissa doesn't seem to want any of my slaves who seem to be on the target.

EDIT 2: Here is the final release of the add-ons. Everything should be working correctly now. I believe all of the add-ons had at least some minor change to them.

Release Download

EDIT: I was able to correct the issue with the father not being passed to the child so that is now working correctly. I also modified the ovulation cycle durations to use variables.

Aric,

Here are the add-ons I previously mentions. Please keep in mind this a beta and there are bugs in the hybrid/ovulation system. I have not yet done a complete play through. I will be doing that over the next week or two and will update the code with the needed bug fixes. I wanted to go ahead and post this so you guys could take a look and play with it. The code is not fully marked up yet. I will include the mark ups you requested with the final release.

All of the add-ons require the general code (file aricsexpansion_addon_general_beta). Changes are made to the person object so this will break previous game saves.

Standalone Add-ons

These should be fine by themselves. They are very simple modifications and should be relatively bug free.

• Housepet -

  
  

  • adds a housepet job
  • slave must have advanced brand for job
  • provides stress relief for slaves resting in mansion
  • random encounters with dogs increases obedience and loyalty (basically they are becoming more of a housepet)
• Kennel Sleep Location
  • adds kennel as a sleep location
  • no limit on number of slaves sleeping in kennel because they don't need much space
  • random encounters with dogs increases obedience and loyalty (basically they are becoming more of a housepet)
• Body Cum Handling

  
  

  • modifies how the expansion handles cum removal from body
  • removal is based on bath rule (for body and face), pregnancy desire (for pussy) and fetishes
  • slaves will want to remove cum from themselves unless they have a desire or fetish
  • a decay will gradually reduce cum no matter what desire or fetish is, simulates minimum daily cleaning
• Unique Character Naked Images
  • extends the expansion's naked image support to the unique characters
  • have not completed a full play-through and tested all characters but it should work just fine
    

Dependent Add-on

This add-on is dependent on the main hybrid add-on

• Beast Breeding
  • Simple mod that modifies the sex scene code to allow animals to attempt to impregnate slaves
  • There are breeding restrictions based on race in the hybrid add-on which determines if it is possible to impregnate

Hybrid, Ovulation & Improvements Metrics

These three are too intertwined to use separately, so I included the code together. Please note there is a bug in the ovulation system where the father is not being set so offspring are not being generated correctly. I will identify the issue and correct it during my testing over the next week or two. Be warned you are likely going to run into bugs until then.

Hybrids

Hybrids are handled by generating a genealogy for each person. For generated persons (not born), the race is used to determine the genealogy. For born persons, the race is determined from genealogy which is inherited from the parents.

All races are separated into categories: Humanoid, Uncommon, Magic, Beast and Animals

• Humanoid : Human, Elf, Dark Elf, Drow, Orc, Gnome, Goblin, Demon and Dragonkin
  • can breed with any humanoid race or beast race
  • full blood is 70% or higher
  • half blood is 50% or higher
• Uncommon : Fairy, Seraph, Dryad, Lamia, Harpy, Arachna, Nereid and Scylla
  • can only breed with a member of their own race
  • always full blooded
• Magic : Slime
  • cannot breed - game description describes slimes as a magic mutation
  • have highest possible bonuses since cannot breed
  • always full blooded (idea is they are no longer whatever they previously were when turned into a slime)
• Beast : Centaur, Taurus, Beastkin and Halfkin
  • can breed with any humanoid race or beast race
  • can breed with corresponding animal (beastkin wolf can breed with dog, centaur can breed with horse, etc.)
  • beastkin is 70% or higher of animal stock
  • halfkin is 50% or higher of animal stock
  • because genealogy is determined by taking half of each parent, breeding a beastkin and halfkin of same type will result in halfkin, breeding two of different type is likely to result in a mixed blood
  • breeding a halfkin with the corresponding animal will produce a beastkin
• Animals : Bunny, Cat, Cow, Dog, Fox, Horse and Raccoon
  • can only breed with corresponding beastkin/halfkin type

The idea here was to create a more complex way of breeding slaves and encourage the use of breeding strategies. I tried to apply some basic rules of genetics to give the system more flavor. The beastkin/halfkin are based off of in-game descriptions which suggest that at some point in the past mages experimented on people. I interpreted this as they blended animal stock with people.

Each race gives bonuses and/or negatives to certain stats. I tried to make the bonuses/negatives make sense. The value for each bonus/negative is based on a random range so each person will be a little bit more unique. Since these bonuses/negatives are applied to all persons, both born and generated, overall game balance should be maintained. Just some races will be more suited to certain tasks than others.

Ovulation System

The ovulation system completely replaces the current impregnation system. The vanilla function calls are repurposed to now use the new system, allowing for all previous code to continue to work.

There are two types of ovulation. The standard ovulation type ovulates for 8 days and then rests for 15. The extended type ovulates for 12 days then rests for 15. The ovulation type is determined by the person's race. Each time a male ejaculates into a female an entry is made in an array. This simulates semen remaining in the womb. After 5 days, semen begins to "die off" and is removed from the array. The amount of semen is based on the values used in the expansion for each balls size. The size of the penis determines how much of that semen initially enters the womb. The virility of the male at the time of ejaculation is also stored in the womb to be used later in determining if the semen reaches the egg. If is possible for the semen of multiple males to be simultaneously in the womb competing for the egg.

Each night the female is ovulating the womb array is looped over and each deposit is given a chance to impregnate the egg. This means that a single ejaculation could potential try to fertilize the egg 5-6 times. Also, if there is cum still in the pussy, each night a small percentage will enter into the womb, thus increasing the chances of reaching the egg.

To fertilize the egg, semen must first pass a check to determine if they reach it. Then, the egg must pass a check to determine if it is successfully fertilized. The chance of actually fertilizing the egg is based on:

• Male - penis size, balls size, base fertility, racial fertility bonus/negative, viritility, fertile trait
• Female - breast size, butt size, base fertility, racial fertility bonus/negative,, egg strength, fertile trait

Scores are determine for both the male and the female. The difficulty of this check is reduced by 25% if the player is a breeder

It is possible for multi-children births. In order for this to happen multiple eggs must be fertilized on the same night. There is also a limit on the number of possible children in a single birth based on the race type.

Improved Metrics

Displayed metrics and person information is changed in multiple locations to accommodate the hybrid and ovulation systems.

so, i made a thing, with lots of help from redle and ank (thanks again!). Don't know if you want it Arics, but it is compatible with 9.4, and should be compatible with deviate's changes (haven't tested yet).

anyways, craftable equipment is now easy to add! just put a load() over the icon of the equipment you want to craft and over the icon of the equipment you will use to craft (if you want to use equipment to craft equipment) and then go to items.gd and type out a new recipe.

and link the item to the recipe, duh.

mega link

warning: probably buggy, hopefully i haven't forgotten any snippets of code elsewhere in the world (i don't think i did). I would do all the icon preloading, but sometimes that's also a bit glitchy, so leave it to you to preload when you want.

Okay, I've been trying to figure this out for a day, and it's nearly made me drop the mod. When I start with my sister she is always crawling and I can't seem to figure out how to change it. Her breasts are small, I didn't restrain her in anyway and I'm not even sure what the mod means by "rules" regarding movement, as I can't find anything like this. The only document explaining the mod in the library is the sexuality scale. Any help would be appreciated at this point. Is this a bug?

Edited:

Okay, anyone have a bit of an idea what's going on here? It looks like you're supposed to be able to choose how you want stuff to be extracted with, and the container to use, but instead the drop down windows list hairstyles, of all things. I have a few canisters and pressure pumps I had bought, and couldn't figure out why my farm hands weren't using them. Took another look at this page and that was when I realized that something about this menu didn't seem quite right. Suggestions please?

For some reason seem to be having an issue whenever I try to use this mod. Once I install it, it causes most of the text in town to disappear, and also seems to make the option for the laboratory in the upgrades tab to vanish entirely, which obviously makes it impossible to progress past the related quest in story and also improvements to characters.

Not quite sure whats causing it. Can't tell anything from what I'm seeing in error log, though it does seem to have a link to the upgrades menu script, and tried reinstalling mods, and even wiping and redownloading the main game.

Hey AricTriton. Thanks as always for amazing work. I ended up trouble shooting some errors with using old saves in my two posts with "Okay well this was miserable" first and "buckle up buckaroos".

Only mod other than yours was random portraits, and maybe farm label (but I don't think I ever activated it).  The issue seemed to be 

1: The jobskills did not include new jobs for each character

2: Code between production and farmoutcome did not update for each character

3: The single instance of code between "resource","array" and "foodcaparray" did not update.

So I'm playing 0.9.4, and am on day 40 or so.  The crystal's researched for the immortality and pregnancy acceleration, and bad stuff is starting to happen.  So I used the option to feed someone to the crystal.  Just a bandit I pulled out of the first area.  There are no errors, and the game doesn't crash, instead just soft locking with the dialogue becoming "...." and no choices or anything available.  I can't close out of the dialogue and effectively have to shut the client down and reload.  I uh, hope nothing bad happens if the crystal gets too hungry...

Hey Aric, struggling a bit to trouble shoot this bug in my file. When I go to end day, the game processes to the next day but the daily report does not generate. Console gives two errors:

SCRIPT ERROR: dailyFarm: Invalid get index 'hp' (on base: 'Reference (person.gd)').
          At: user://mods/AricsExpansion/scripts/aricsexpansion/expansionfarm.gd:1134

SCRIPT ERROR: _on_end_pressed: Invalid operands 'String' and 'Nil' in operator '+'.
          At: res://files/scripts/Mansion.gd:1282

This does not occur with fresh saves. What portion of a save do these errors refer to?

Hey! First time user of this mod and I ran into an error as soon as I started the game. 

Mod Version v0. Expanding game to latest Aric's Expansion version
Aric's Expansion v.0.81
SCRIPT ERROR: GDScript::reload: Parse Error: Identifier 'participants' is not declared in the current scope.
          At: res://files/scripts/newsexsystem.gd:896
ERROR: reload: Method/Function Failed, returning: ERR_PARSE_ERROR

SCRIPT ERROR: _on_startbutton_pressed: Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'startsequence' in base 'Control'.
          At: res://files/scripts/Mansion.gd:4221

Error message looks like this while the sex interaction refuses to work; it literally only shows the background picture and won't let me click  anything. Was wondering if you could help?

ok so 

in globals:

var expansionsetup = globals.expansionsetup

then in assets.gd you call globals.expansionsetup

expansionsetup is never declared otherwise

sooooo

 
So far I havn't experienced any errors beside this. Happens when I try to test the breeding with the kennel animals.

Hello , i tried to start a new game because i haven t played in a while. I only reinstalled strive and aric expansion and i get this error. Can you tell me if i made a mistake or is it a bug ?

ty for your amazing work btw ^^

I don't think my first post was posted because of my new account so here's my comment again.
I get an error when I as a half-kin wolf have a child with an elf.  I am unable to select the child in the residents window normally.  Additionally, when I can select the child it gives me the following inspect window.

Edit: The same problem also occurred when I tested as a Human male with elf female.

Anyways thanks for the great mod!

Is it just me, or is the "garbage collector" (arrest/execution) system a little... overzealous? The post-combat notifications always make it seem like there's a chance you'll find your opponents again, looking for revenge - yet nearly every single bandit winds up being arrested that very night. Hell, even characters saved from bandits almost inevitably get arrested.
It's a great idea, cutting down on save bloat, but it'd be nice if at least some characters, especially the innocents, were able to persist for a much longer time.

Oh, and speaking of executions, I still need your discord info so I can send you ideas for the "eroticized" executions we discussed a while back

I can't have children with any of my slaves without them disliking it and becoming stressed. No matter which of them I impregnate, it always comes out that they don't want the baby and that the pregnancy will be more stressful even though I have their consent and  also their number of wanted pregnancies has not been met.  Was this problem addressed in the new 9.5 update or not. If it hasn't been addressed yet is there a workaround or mod to fix this.
