Gas Station Simulator News

[h2]Hey Gas Jockeys ⛽[/h2][p]We’re excited to introduce a long-awaited quality-of-life improvement: Station DLC Management. This new feature gives you full control over which DLC areas are active at any given moment, letting you tailor the gameplay experience to your current goals and playstyle.[/p][p]From now on, you can enable or disable individual DLC locations such as the RV Camp, Junkyard, Tidal Wave, or Airstrip directly from the PC Management Tab using a simple On/Off toggle. This means you no longer have to juggle every mechanic and notification at once. Want to focus purely on your core station or a single expansion? Just switch the others off and play at your own pace.[/p][p]When a DLC section is turned off, its gameplay loop is immediately paused:[/p]

• [p]NPCs leave the area[/p]
• [p]Lights and systems shut down[/p]
• [p]Specialized tools related to that DLC are hidden from your inventory[/p]

[p]If there are any active contracts or ongoing events, they will be cancelled, but not without warning. You’ll always see a confirmation pop-up before making the decision.[/p][p]Most importantly, nothing is lost. All stored items, upgrades, and your personal progress within that DLC remain completely safe. Whenever you’re ready, you can reopen the area and continue exactly where you left off.[/p][p][/p][p]This feature is designed to reduce pressure, improve clarity, and give you more freedom in how you manage your station. Whether you prefer a relaxed, focused approach or gradually expanding your operations, Station DLC Management puts you in control.[/p][p]As always, thank you for your feedback, which directly shapes features like this. Let us know how the new system feels and what you’d like to see next![/p][p][/p][p]We’ve also prepared several additional improvements and fixes, which you can check out below:[/p][p][/p][p]Base Game & Free DLCs[/p]
