Hello and Welcome to the 33rd Century in strictly text format
The game’s (slightly lengthy, but skippable) introduction covers the who what where and why, but a quick synopsis is that you, YES YOU, have been re-assigned to attend the youngest in a family of septitrillionaires, and they wanna get B I G
(PS: I am not a pro coder, please report errors if you find them thank you very much <3)

Did a little fiddling around, and the day doesnt advance in general. After messing around, it MIGHT have something to do with drones? For each drone set to acquire food, it puts up another error message on the transition page.
Also, final last thing. When you go to oogle, theres no way to get back without arrowing back. Not a huge thing, but figured I’d point it out.
ANYWHO, bugs aside, like the premise and especially the top mid bottom focus on gaining, so excited to see what else is there beyond the first day lol.
Okay you all may have noticed not skipping the intro leads to ogling your boss having little to say, this was an accident and i forgot to update a singular variable, now you can read all about how Leynda looks for those who actually liked reading the intro
Loving it so far! Seems like there is a bit of a stalemate for me at the moment though - no matter how many drones I have set to Collect Nutrients, Leynda will eat more than I can import, (and seems to be stuck at / losing weight). She’s hovering between 350 and 360 at the moment.
Is there something I’m doing wrong? Maybe I need to start over?
Edit: Taking a look at the twine code and it looks like the player is supposed to receive 3 food per drone? Currently only receiving 1 each. Not sure what the issue here might be.
this is probably due to the fact that she starts consuming 2L / Lb. of food per Feed once she breaks the 300 threshold… let me put in some uncomplicated Research to help you along here my boy, also she should be incapable of losing weight at this time due to how i’ve implemented the digestion mechanics
New Update - V1.3: the NERD update
Changelog also has details, however i am a simian so please if you do encounter any bugs reply to this post while on V1.3
Changes:
New Research Options (Replaced old ones)
Research now impacts the game
Leynda (your boss) can now get even more visibly fat
Slowed Digestion, takes a little longer to gain weight
Something that might be particularly useful would be a way for you to use your own actions to supplement what the drones can do, particularly once you’ve finished all the research but still need ways to keep up with income and food storage. Maybe the ability to sell excess research for funding, or use funding to buy foodstock.
I’m not sure what I did, but now I only have options for ‘Check Displays’, ‘Drone Control’ and ‘Retire for the Day’. I was also able to click one of the research options more than once and now they are at a negative research point value.
If I could hazard a guess at the first issue, I think the game keeps putting me at the “End of the day” status and is not resetting me anymore.
i have no proper clue how you managed this since the research and time systems should have nothing to do with eachother… what else were you doing at the time?
got the same problem as you. also, even if i dont click anything (just go to sleep over and over) the funding and stuff changes, but the weight and description dont. its really weird
Sadly, the exact same thing happened on the newest build too, here is my save if you need proof. blobgistics-20220913-235932.7z (1.1 KB)
