Learn more about Chemical Bath 🧪and car parts in Car Junkyard DLC 🚗

Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽


Welcome to another Gas Station Simulator - Car Junkyard DLC development sneak peek. Today, I’m excited to share some more information about car parts ⚙️ (assembling and disassembling them, how you can make some profit, etc.) as well as the Chemical Bath which is gonna be another spanking new structure that will be introduced with the DLC. Ready to jump in? 🔥



[h2]Chemical Bath ⚗️[/h2]
The Chemical Bath is a brand-new structure crucial for the proper functioning of your junkyard. Designed to wash car parts and prepare them for assembly onto freshly prepared wrecks, it's an essential feature that will allow you to restore some rusty car parts that you find while progressing through the game.



[h2]Chemical Bath Management 📦[/h2]
Chemicals are vital for efficient cleaning. The more concentration, the more efficient the cleaning process is. As you’ve probably guessed, as soon as the concentration drops to 0%, the cleaning process stops. In order to restart the process, you need to first restore the concentration to 100%. Have a quick look at how it looks currently in the game.


[h2]Car Parts Overview ⚙️[/h2]

Car parts play a crucial role in the Car Junkyard DLC. They are obtained from wrecks delivered to the junkyard, and they can used to build a brand-new vehicle. Car Parts can be separated into two categories 👇



  • Dedicated Parts: Includes front and rear bumpers, left and right doors, and the hood. These are essential for car customization and they only fit particular car models.
  • Universal Parts: Includes rims, spoilers, exhausts, mirrors, engines, and turbos. These parts can be used across different car models.




Each car part has its own tag indicating which particular requirement (performance or design) it will affect. As you’ve probably already guessed, parts with a performance tag will impact stats such as acceleration, top speed, handling, etc. On the other hand, the ones with a design tag will only impact the car's visuals.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, gas jockeys 😥So, before we finish, let us know in the comment section down below what you think about the idea of chemical bath and car parts. How do you like some spanking new tools that are on their way to Car Junkyard DLC? The more feedback we collect, the better the DLC will be, I promise. Keep those comments coming, and I’ll do my best to answer them. Last but not least, follow us on social media, and add Car Junkyard DLC to your wishlist if you want to stay in the loop of everything Gas Station Sim. Until the next devlog!

Transfering between DLCs 🔄, VIP update 🕵️, and Car Junkyard DLC release date.

Hey, Gas Jockeys ⛽


Exciting news ahead – today we’re thrilled to share the release date for the upcoming Car Junkyard DLC. If you think that’s all then allow me to surprise ya all. Gas Station Simulator has received a brand-new content update which brings a new type of your one-of-a-kind clientele. Anyway, we have a lot to cover in this announcement, so let’s not beat around the bush and start with a spicy Gas Station Simulator – Car Junkyard DLC trailer 🔥



[h2]Car Junkyard DLC teaser and the release date 👀[/h2]

Sean, a daydreamer with muscle cars know-how but little to zero financial knowledge, is on the lookout for someone who will help him turn his falling business into a money making machine. That’s where you come in. New challenges, missions, story, mechanics, and business await. All of this available on August 15th, 2024 for 16.99 USD.

[h2]VIP Update is here 🕵️[/h2]

That’s right! From now on a VIP customer will visit your station from time to time. Basically, you wanna serve him just like a normal client but there is a catch – serve him properly a couple of times in a row to receive a special bonus which will boost all of the sources of your income. However, there is one difference that distinguishes VIP customer from a normal one and that is its own cooldown. As soon as you serve the VIP client you’re gonna have to wait a couple of minutes until he comes back again, so you don’t have to stand on your tiptoes 24/7.

wake up gas jockey, we have a VIP customer to serve

[h2]Transfer between DLCs 👀[/h2]

From now on you can freely move between maps if you happen to own a particular DLC. Right now you can transfer between Tidal Wave and Route 66 but we’re planning to expand this feature for a Shady Deals map as well. If you want to transfer your character to a different map all you need to do is simple interaction with the sign post below.



With this update we’re also introducing a brand-new feature called passive income. The idea is simple – if you’ve unlocked different maps (in this case Tidal Wave and Route 66) they can basically profit from each other. The amount received is calculated based on the average income of your Costs and Revenues from the last seven days on the given map. In other words – you need to spend at least seven days on a particular map. Otherwise the system won’t be able to calculate how much passive income you should get. You can delve into all of the necessary statistics in the section in the Economy Tab called “Passive Income”. As always – I’m counting on your feedback, folks!

[h2]Stay up-to-date 📰[/h2]

And that’s gonna be it for today! So, how do you like our little surprise? Feedback is much appreciated so go now and enjoy a fresh update. I can’t wait to see your comments regarding both the trailer and VIP update, so do not let me down, okay? And last but not least for all of the things related to Gas Station Simulator and upcoming DLC, stick with us and consider adding the game to your wishlist 🙇Until the next devlog!

Progression in Car Junkyard DLC + info about the upcoming update🔥

Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽


Welcome to another Car Junkyard DLC development update. Last time we shed some light on the crane and crusher which are one of the main features of the DLC. If you would like to catch up, don’t hesitate to click ➡️ this link ⬅️ which will direct you to the recent announcement 🔥

Today, we shift our focus a little bit. We’re gonna cover everything you need to know about the Board 📋and Contracts 📈 in the DLC – you know, without them there is no point of running your own business, right? Without further ado, let’s get started! 😎



[h2]Update is coming to GSS 👀[/h2]

The production team wanted me to announce that another update for Gas Station Simulator is just around the corner. There is still some stuff that is rough around the edges and we’re working hard on bringing it as soon as possible to you. I guess it’s fair to say that you can expect it to go live sometime next week. Don’t know when exactly tho, that’s all they told me.

[h2]The Board 📋[/h2]

Board serves as your command center and helps you get around the junkyard with ease. Here you can check and access all of the necessary information which includes map (crucial when choosing the next wreck delivery), contracts (will talk about it later on), sale, and fame. Think of it as the heart of your business. It’s your number one go-to place when you need to check whether you’re going in the right direction or not.



[h2]Contracts 💼[/h2]

Everyone knows that strategic management is as important as running and operating your junkyard. Every business needs different kinds of jobs in order to prosper and expand. It’s basically the same case in Gas Station Simulator – Car Junkyard DLC – you’re gonna need different contracts to build up and grow your empire.



Contracts are related to the specific client order and they have different requirements in order to complete them. The requirements are divided into the ones related to car parts as well as the general appearance of the car, so you will have to pay close attention to the details and demands of the particular client.

As you progress through the game by earning contract points, you’ll unlock different types of contracts as well. They might be a bit more demanding in terms of requirements, but the reward will be much, much higher. As the saying goes – high risk, high reward 😎



[h2]Independence Day🗽[/h2]

To all of our players and community members that today celebrate Independence Day in the United States, we’d like to wish you a joyful 4th of July! Let’s hope that one day Denis will stop haunting your gas station, so you’ll finally be able to live your peaceful life.



[h2]Stay up-to-date 📰[/h2]

Unfortunately, that is the end of today’s announcement. So, how do you like our brand-new development sneak peek? Do you still need some more details regarding contracts maybe? If so, don’t hesitate to leave your comments down below.

Just before we finish, I'll take a risk and share some insight news, but let’s hope that my boss won’t check this announcement before it goes live. Some people told me that the Car Junkyard DLC teaser is coming pretty damn soon, so I’d suggest you should keep an eye out on our social media channels. I’m gonna leave you now with this information. Let’s hope you’re gonna hear from me again. Until the next devlog 👋
