I have redownloaded the version multiple times for windows. I am not able to assign slaves and peons to anything in the occupation menu; such as rest, cooking, fish, exc. I also can not assign them for Dates and battles despite max obedience and loyalty. Any way to fix this?

me too

Same here.

Hi there!

If you’re playing the current version of the game (version 6.3 as of this writing) then this problem is most likely due to the entirely redone Loyalty-System. Which is to say it is not a bug at all but a completely new feature set.

In order for you to be able to do anything with a new servant (including your starter) you need to do an action to raise loyalty and then go into that servants ‘Character Info’ and there go to the ‘Training and Rules’  tab (the button with the heart and food icon). On the left-hand side of the screen you will see a tree-like menu of icons where you can then begin to unlock your interactions with the servant with the gained loyalty points.

The ‘Basic Servitude’ lets you assign jobs, while ‘Dating’ lets you date them and so on.


But since this threat already exists there is one problem that I have come across: I can’t for the life of me find the tattoo menu.

Wasn’t that activated with a special button in a servants equipment tab once you build the beauty parlor? If anyone could share where to find it in the current version, I would much appreciate it.

One of the loyalty based upgrades is the ability to get tattoos. Oh, and you need ink, but you likely know that already.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I know that you need to create usable Ink in the tier 2 Alchemy lab. And I did see (and train) the 'Body Modifiactions' Loyalty upgrade with several Servants. My problem is that I simply can't find how and where the panel is to apply said Ink to a willing Servant. If my memory serves me right it used to be in a Servant's inventory screen, but I can't find it there anymore.

Did you build the Beauty Parlor too? Because i can see it just fine in the in the inventory screen.

Thanks for the confirmation that it is where I remembered. And yes, I did build the Parlor.

Since I still don't find the button, my guess is that this may either be a bug with the Linux version as a whole or one with my particular playthrough. Regardless of which, I will try once more with a another new file and see whether or not I can get it to appear.


Edit (for the developers, in case they read through this thread):

I reinstalled the 0.6.2a Linux version of the game and through save editing enabled the beauty parlor in a fresh save. The button appeared for the master character without a hitch. Doing the same for the current 0.6.3a Linux version does not make the apply tattoo button in the inventory screen appear for the master character. Which I guess means that for some odd reason a flag in the Linux release of the game does not trigger.


Edit 2:

Ok, I now tested the windows version of the 0.6.3a release. Once on a native windows machine and once in emulation environment on my Linux PC. In both cases I downloaded the game separately before starting a new save (since in both cases there were no old ones), fresh in the game I then saved. then edited the save file to 'build' the beauty parlor to test whether or not the button to apply tattoos to the MC would appear as it had in the 0.6.2a version of the game. Both tests were negative for me. The button to apply tattoos did not appear. This leads me to believe that this is a general bug of the 0.6.3 branch of the game. To ascertain this conclusion, I would kindly ask vadi92 to please double check the game version you're running where the button does appear. Or anyone else to either contradict my findings or support them so the developers have a clear picture of the problem.

Hmmmm.... This was most likely caused because of the loyalty system. Like how you cant put the master to prostitution because the master dosn't have it. For slave's its working just fine. 

Ver number.

Only the master with beauty parlor unlocked.

The icon for tattoo for slaves.


Thanks for the detailed reply, vadi92!

Following your advice, I did some more tests with other characters than the main one. The results for me, however, didn't change.

I now have tested both the windows 64 and 32 versions of the game in both native windows and emulation on linux as well as as smoe more tries on the native linux version. In all cases the button to change to the tattoo mode didn't appear for me, leaving me totally baffled.

And before someone asks, I tested against the save of my current linux playthrough as well as completely new saves. Granted for the latter I had to edit the save files, since I don't have the time for another full on playthrough right now. So my negative results could be because something broke when I changed the relevant values.

So it would seem that, for whatever reason, I'm an odd one out with all my computers. The only hope I can have is that some other players will toss their hats into the ring and add their experiences to the discussion, shedding some more light on the whole thing.


For  competitions sake here is my version:

The loyalty status of my servant:

and her inventory screen:

And last but not least, the upgrade panel:


I've finally discovered how the tattoo button disappears! This, however, leads to other bugs related to it. 

But first things first. For me the tattoo button in the inventory disappears whenever I open the inventory via the Inventory button in the Mansion's main menu, and as soon as I used this button even once, the tattoo button never shows up again until I shut the game down and load it up fresh.

The tattoo button only appears for me, when I access the inventory screen through going to a character's info screen and from there go to the inventory. However, accessing the inventory through this method makes the button always appear, regardless of whether or not I have build the beauty parlor. It appears both on the master and any servant, even if she/he has not trained the body modification loyalty upgrade. And using one of my edited saves, I can confirm that even when none of the prerequisites are met, I can apply tattoo's as long as I have the inks.

Anyway, I hope my observations can help other players and perhaps even the developers. Cheers and happy gaming everyone!

thank you

Btw it's not really an issue per se. But i let you guy's know (if you didn't know it already) that you now can choose all of the positive trait's in the character creation screen not just one by simply clicking on them once. (dont know if it's on porpuse or a mistake on the developer part thou.)
