Thanks, though i found out myself through doing another playthrough of how to make weight gain more effective in the later stages of the game. I found out that stuffing yourself in the fridge does not greatly help weight gain so i tried wandering around the residential area and it helped speed the process a lot more.

Good catch! I had completely misunderstood regarding it bring the fridge stuffing option that was being referred to. I just thought there was some unexplained slowdown with the available options in residential and lab.
If I had to weigh in, I’d agree that maybe stuff yourself should only be available once you get a high enough capacity to handle it all. Maybe tweaking the writing a little to emphasize the character losing control because of how gluttonous they’ve gotten (like in the alleyway scene). That way it could be a reward for getting to higher capacities, instead of an unintentional trap option that gradually slows down gain for new characters if they keep relying on it.
Edit: it could also be a good place to utilize the messy eater and burp toggles, now that I think about it.

More mini-typos from the transition leading into Chapter 2 (with an added comma, “Alien is Relative, by the Way”)! There are probably at least a couple more, but the rest I saw were nit-picky, even for me.
-
“crowns your impossible to miss ever-growing gut” contains two adjectives, so it should have hyphens within “impossible to miss” and a comma before “ever-growing”.
-
“Over the past three days, you have been bed ridden. You have been resting under the heaviest (and warmest) blanket you have ever had, your stomach. It’s fat alone more than enough to resemble a small quilt.” “bed ridden” should be one word (there’s another instance of this later in the same text), “ever growing” should be hyphenated, and the last sentence should probably be rewritten to begin “Its fat alone is more than enough…”
-
“I know how important your padding is to your races survival.” “races” should have a possessive apostrophe.
-
“You explain it as it is, ‘You can’t stand up’ plain and simple.” I would rewrite the punctuation: “You explain it as it is: ‘I can’t stand up.’ Plain and simple.”
-
“An evolutionary flaw that has yet to work it’s way out of the gene pool!” “it’s” should not have an apostrophe.
-
“Most notably however, is a box quite similar to that of the temperature controlled cases you would see back home.” Missing a comma after “notably”–to make “however” a complete interjection. I also think “notably” should be “notable,” but the basis for that change is more subjective. “temperature controlled” is used as an adjective, so it should be hyphenated (here and in the next paragraph).
-
“but not necessarily an increase to ones muscle mass, either,” “ones” is missing the possessive apostrophe, and the sentence ends with a comma, rather than a period.
-
“The many-hued liquid softy swirling within, then proceeds to sterilize the planned point of administration.” I think you meant “softly”, and the second clause is missing the active subject (i.e., the liquid is not sterilizing you).
-
“Afterall” is two words.
-
“come into a blinding view” has an unnecessary “a”. That paragraph also strangely ends in a comma.
-
“fat leaden body” should be “fat-laden body”, and the following sentence should have a semicolon where the comma is.

Thank you,
I changed mostly all of them.
Only a few of them were kind of ‘stylistic’ choices.

What is the average wait time for an update? Also because the game is supposedly endless would that mean you would be able to become the size of a planet? 
(The second part is a joke though i do wonder if there will ever be a limit to the size you could get to once the game is complete)

— Wait time is kind of all over the place. When I first started Plus+, back on the original topic. I was putting things out pretty often / every couple of days. But they were closer to bread crumbs, events here there.
I have a bad habit of making things more involved than I think most people care about.
So this Zone coming up is going to be released in its entirety, despite my normal plan of 'half now (people break it while I work on the second part) half later.
I also have a couple of content contributors now as well, so they are adding in a good deal of stuff as well and helping test things.
So pretty much just to way things worked out, this update is a big boi update.
In the long term, update frequency (once a week?, two weeks? / lull) will just depend on if I am working it actively or if its in a lull / management mode while I am playing a normal video game for my personal time. Ill announce any lulls when I need a breather. Which I want to take a small one after this update is stable.
Remember when I said “I have a bad habit of making things more involved than I think most people care about.” - This post is a good example lol.
—Technically yes, you could grow forever since I don’t intend to ever create a true force ending finale. I don’t have a true plan to limit to anyone’s size, but it eventually reaches a point where suspension of disbelief kicks in VS me writing new weight thresholds that people care about or that can still be interesting to read.
I want to have the next update out asap. But since I’ve been on the receiving end of this before, I know some people like having a rough date that may be wrong compared to just words. (So Ill just say a week for now)

Okay. Well nevertheless i’m excited for the new update that will eventually come out. I tend to like reading the weight descriptions and with my imagination being fairly wild i like to think about what the pc would look like. This is also usually why i don’t like pictures to go with the text since there isn’t the greatest amount of room to imagine what the character would look like. Anyway, i’m probably rambling on so i’ll end this here.

I personally prefer text as well, for my imagination, so I totally get where you’re coming from.
Just spitballing my thoughts: I imagine an idea of the upper limits of manageable player character size (as far as reasonable weight tier writing, not raw endless numbers) could also come into more focus depending on if your living accommodations are ever upgraded.
It would probably be a good venue to narratively handle a character becoming so large that their mobility starts to be limited again, even post-treatment. A living space designed around comfortably accommodating for their size, maybe with unlockable upgrades and services. And perhaps occasional assistance from NPCs?
Edit: effectively, people could get the full “blobby, near-immobile” effect covered more thoroughly in a dedicated space, instead of needing to completely rewrite all other events outside it. (Save for maybe unlocking some lines of added narration in scenes, or changing the current walk/waddle/lumber actions to involve some mobility assistance or something).
Edit 2: Plus, for people who enjoy immobility (but since it would suck for the game world to be completely inaccessible from then on), maybe certain events (excessive stuffings, extra special affinity hangouts, etc) in the room could trigger a “temporary immobility” situation on the extreme end of writable weight tiers, where the character spends a few days stuck in the room being tended to, until they can head back out. They could have certain actions and NPC interactions they could do while stuck in bed, and after advancing a few days they’d be in the clear to proceed as normal.

Based on previous comments / requests. People have shown they are passionate about the “Maintenance Team Characters”
I believe they would better off in the hands of the community.
Thus, I am I handling them over to my contributors, they will be creating them as a full fledged Affinity NPC (Such as Halessie).
Their events / hangouts / fulfilling requests will be handled by contributors.
We’d be happy to read any suggestions for group hangouts.
We do however need to pick out a name for the “Friendly Engineer”, the one you meet at the cafeteria and at the Zone 2 party. So it seemed fun to let you all pick the name~

I like the idea, as the character of a team would seem to more easily accommodate multiple authors.

So, uh… I think I may have discovered a bug. At any rate, my experiences don’t seem to line up with what ToshDragonash and Somchu have been saying about how things should work. But, well… to be honest, I kind of don’t want it to be fixed? It’s definitely helped make the game a lot less grindy for me, anyway.
What I’m talking about, of course, is the “Stuff yourself” option in the fridge. Supposedly, it’s not a great way to actually gain weight. And indeed, if you choose that option as the first thing you do in a day, the resulting gain will be very underwhelming. However, if you fill up your stomach with other things first and then stuff yourself at the fridge, it will exponentially increase the amount you gain. And amusingly enough, it doesn’t seem to matter how much food you’ve already taken from the fridge. Throughout most of the game, my preferred method of gaining weight was to simply eat as many pastries and sandwiches (in that order) from the fridge as I could without triggering a food coma and then click the “Stuff yourself” option. To give an idea of how effective this is, at my current weight (a bit over 1500 pounds), if I eat all the pastries and sandwiches manually and then go straight to bed, I’ll gain 6 or 7 pounds. However, if I leave one sandwich in the fridge and click “Stuff yourself,” I’ll gain over 30 pounds. And if I use other food sources to get even closer to full before doing the fridge stuffing, I can gain over 40 pounds overnight. I’ve spent plenty of time wandering around, too, just to see all the random events, but when I get tired of that and I just want to get to the next weight tier, the ol’ “fridge stuffing on a nearly-full stomach” trick has been the most effective gaining method by far.
Again, though, I have to say that I’d actually be kind of sad to see this quick gaining method removed without any comparable alternative being added. Like I said, I only really used it when gaining the “normal” way was getting tiresome. And sure, gaining that much weight in a day might stretch the suspension of disbelief a bit, but I’d rather that than sit through 3 times as many days of just clicking through the same events to get to the next weight tier.

If there is a Remus, there should be a Romulus, and everyone knows that that would lead to quite a side-story.

Yes that is a bug,
But I already had plans to rework the stuff yourself options regardless.
FYI — if you are keeping that character, the way the fridge is set up, even if you use the bug. It STILL extremely hinders the PC’s stomach capacity growth. So that very could explain why you are gaining so little without using the bug.
In regards to comparable alternatives, there are actually plenty in game as of now (But not all of them are created equal)
It is all about trigger additional feeding events once you already stuffed for day. I just tested it see what I could get, I was able to get my 860lbs character to 889 over one night. So by the time they were 1500lbs. Their stomach would be much bigger, so that gain could even be higher.
I am trying very hard to get the next update out. Sorry for the wait.

You need to be 31+ days post treatment (Which you must be based on your weight) and have unlocked ADDI (If you have not unlocked ABBI/ADDI, you need to wander around more (Zone 1).
When you wake up, it will trigger an event with the Doctor which tells you to start the transition by ‘Chatting with ABBI’. If you have already triggered the starting event it will not replay and may simply be waiting for you to talk to ABBI.
Let me know if it still gives you an issue (DM me your save file if it does so I can see where the missing link is)
Edit: It was borked.
