I’m starting this thread to consolidate questions related to the Lab.
If you’re struggling with something there, please put in at least a few hours to try solving it first. If you’re still stuck, This would be the thread for you to check.
Ok, I'm really annoyed now because for 2 days (irl) now I don't know if I got bug or I screwed something up or this is intentional game mechanics...
I've got possesed by Squidrabbit so I want to remove the effect with proper potion. I know the recipe. I know how to get all ingredients but I don't have a single clue how to synthesize the potion because only 2 position in the menu of machine for brewing potions are the recipies for protein base and as far as I can remember there were options for other potions. I cannot go any further... Should I change the mode of this machine or something like that? I can't find any in game hint about it at all...
The other recipe’s are unfortunately only accessible in the admin console.
But Unnie hinted at two other ways to remove squidrabbit before. They didn’t say much about it originally, just that it can be done in the lab or in the mansion. Personally I haven’t figured out the Mansion’s way to do it yet (maybe someone else has), but the second lab way technically starts in the forest.
My hint to get you there is: The forest journal describes painted trees and paths between them.
It's a pain because squidrabbit's tissues are what get measured and will always be 46, not the character's true measurements (except for breast measurements for some reason). The first day should be an immediate true size increase that you won't see. It may increase again but If it does it's likely from a different flag all together.
Please reference the long breakdown provided by Unnie on the feedback and suggestions thread for a better idea of how sizes increase and decrease.
I'll have to do some testing but if you can only make the base then I think you didn't find the parasite removal terminal entry in the main lab terminal. Unfortunately you can't reach that terminal if covered by the squidrabbit. Something in the Manor should be able help you. If I had to guess I'd say to try getting possessed and walking in front of a mirror. You could then try to enter the lab from the manor and see if the scanner door will let you pass. You might need to do that twice and take the secret path to the other bathroom. If you read how to remove the parasites you should be to craft the C-ALPHA. Three of the needed vials are located in various rooms. You need to mix the Protein Base with the purple vial and the other item to get the last required vial. You should then be able to craft the C-ALPHA. Otherwise you might consider starting a new save file where you explore the lab more thoroughly before encountering the squidrabbit.
EDIT: If you get possessed and can open Lady Jessica's Door, then you interact with the door while possessed so that it will let you enter. Enter AFTER the possession expires and look in the mirror. You will have enough time left to get to the lab and to the terminal with the information for the parasite removal. You should then be able to craft C-ALPHA and C-DELTA. The other recipes for the Protein Base need to be found in terminals or after using a specific item located past the squidrabbit.
I think I have all the ingredients for the parasite cure other than one. Whatever the pink grass/fur-like one is. I think it has something to do with the squidrabbit but I can't work out what. I tried taking a sample with the knife and the empty test tube from both the rabbit itself and the tentacles coming out the floor but it does not appear to do anything and I can't think of how else you might get it. Any suggestions?
