Quote from: Jman on Mar 08, 2025, 09:17 PMYes, you got that right.

I guess it's that way because 1) 'off days' can be changed with a few clicks, unless you mean the 'day off' reward, and 2) portraits are somewhat special in that they're meant to be more vertical than other images.

That makes sense, thank you for your answer.

Hi
need help with furniture
how it work:

1. what means customer preferences +50%
2. what means brothel preferences +50%

and how advertising works. i mean customers quantity. its always much more then my girls can serve. so is that mean that i need to lower advertising in mid game? cos i have a lot -rep from unpleased customers.

Customers all have a base preference for the four main sex acts. Some types have an increased preference for a specific act, too (sailors like anal and waitresses, for example ). These are used to generate which act any specific customer 'likes'. Customers who get laid but don't get their 'liked' act are not as happy and get a rep penalty and don't get the 'right act' score bonus. Girls with 'liked' acts/jobs are also more likely to be picked by that customer. And finally, providing the 'liked' act offers some protection against 'crazy' customers.

Same thing with jobs, except crazies don't apply there.

Customer preference furniture tilts the customer 'like' RNG towards a specific job or sex act, multiplying the base chance by whatever extra percentage you set. For every customer, that is.



The other preference is 'X preference increase', which is just a percentage bonus to sexual preference point gains, the ones that make a girl open to a specific sex act.



Advertising increases your rep and acts as temporary extra rep for the purpose of attracting customers. But since every new customer requires progressively more 'rep points' and advertising is counted last, in practice advertising usually contributes only a small minority of your customer intake. If you piss them off enough and have no advertising, your rep and customer numbers will go down.

There have been complaints about advertising relatively recently, so I imagine Goldo will take a look at some point. Mainly that you only put it on full blast at the beginning of a chapter, and soon you'll have more customers than you know what to do with, so out the advertising goes again.

You do get a bit of eye candy, I guess.

so i can just use all of this for max? i think that i need to put sex +50% and other leave on 0% for correct work)

i dont get it 

Indeed, you usually want to set one act to the max and leave the rest at 0, since increasing all weights lands you in the same position as you started in.



If you have no advertising budgeted, you get the 'night' picture with a bunch of dark figures in a plaza. If you do, you're shown a sexy 'poster girl' image. Unless a special event triggers, like the pony parade or you have a girl who boosts advertising and then they'll get shown instead ('model', or 'profile' if there are no suitable 'model' images in the pack).

nice, got it

no, i dont understand what "eye candy" means

Visually 'tasty' things. Like a scantily clad young woman in front of a brothel. Or screen-covering multicolour explosions in a MOBA.

On the subject of advertisement:

I really want the ability to reduce customers at higher levels. The ability to put the lever on 80% or 60% customers only. That would be useful, since I always lose so much reputation by having too many clients coming in, even with 32 girls xD

same feelings

But does it really hurt you in any way? Rep loss due to unserviced customers means less people coming in - until rep loss and gain balance out.

I never really cared too much about customer overflow, because in Bonanza they got served based on their purses, so the guys left out were poor losers anyway.


Being able to channel your rep into customer budgets similar to how it works for advertising might be an idea?

That's exactly what I'm asking Slider to less customers and more budget bonus
