Gas Station Simulator News

While the Gas Station developers are busy fixing things when it comes to the recent release of the Airstrip DLC and the game in general and the Road Diner team is making their game, the designers are right now in the process of finalizing the bonuses that Gas Station Simulator will provide to Road Diner and later Motel Simulator.

There has been quite some interest in those when we first gave you a glimpse into what's coming and now we can finally expand on some of the aspects.

One of the major bonuses will be linked to the level of your gas station. Each level increases the pool and probability of normal customers appearing at the diner and motel. Additionally, every second level of the gas station increases the chance for local and special customers.

Normal customers are just like the customers you know from Gas Station Simulator. Generic folks. Local and special customers are new categories introduced in Road Diner and later Motel Simulator. Local customers are locals with their own backstories who will frequent your establishments a lot more often if you provide the services they are looking for.

Special customers are another new category and this is a big one. These are rare customers with deeply developed backgrounds and dialogs that can leave a lasting impression on you as the player and your establishment by introducing new features and even mechanics.

While local and specials customers will be first introduced in Road Diner, the way this whole "gas station universe" works means they will also find their way to Gas Station Simulator in an update. This way the road diner (and later motel) will also impact your gas station the same way: their levels and expansions will boost the chance for these customers to appear on your gas station.

Another interesting bonus type is being designed for Motel Simulator that will benefit the gas station and the diner as well: local economy. It is a rather complex system, but to greatly simplify it: the expansions and services provided by your motel will encourage spending by customers. So a nicely developed motel will not only boost spending in general, but also increase the tips you receive at your gas station or the diner, too.

It is not all bonuses that we are working on, though. Some penalties will come into play as well. Certain actions may have consequences across all games. To give you an example of a penalty: stealing a lot of stuff from customer trunks on the gas station will influence a variable aptly called LocalSafety that can reduce customer flow at the diner and motel by up to 8% and 15% respectively. When people don't feel safe, some will just choose to drive through rather than stop at your business.

And now enough about what the future holds. We released 2 updates for the Airstrip DLC and another hotfix yesterday so go and check that out:

Hey, Gas Jockeys!

First of all, we're so, so thankful for the amount of feedback we've gathered already. Thanks to your
detailed reports, we've managed to track issues faster, and we've already managed to get rid of many of
them. Below you can find a detailed information regarding which issues were fixed, but that's not the end
- we're constantly gathering feedback from you, folks! With that being said, if you've encountered any
issues during your gameplay session, make sure to describe it with as much details as possible, and send
us an email to [email protected] Once again - Thank you!

Ok, but it's time to move to the list of issues. Without further ado, let's get started!

• Fixed an issue with keybindings for Towy. Make sure that your settings are restored to default. You
  can also try to do a hard reset by going into %LOCALAPPDATA%/GSS2/Saved/ and delete the
  Config folder.
  
• Fixed an issue with Joe constantly sitting on the bench during “Taking Off” quest
  
• Fixed an issue with cars blocking each other
  
• Fixed an issue blocking the progress when saving and loading the game on the Deny Plane quest
  
• Fixed an issue blocking the progress when you run out of fuel on the second departure of Joe
  
• Teleport location has changed
  
• Fixed crash associated with aircraft departures
  
• Fixed the problem occurring when saving and loading the game on the quest with the second
  crash of Joe
  
• Added a button to sell decorations and cabinets
  

These are the issues that we've managed to fix already, because they were the ones that blocked your
progress or caused the game to crush. However, our work won't stop here - we're already working on
more fixes, and next hotfix should come in the upcoming days. To speed up the process even faster, we've prepared a survey, that should help us tracking the issues as well as finding the solutions even quicker. Click this link in order to enter.

And that's it for today, gas jockeys! Once again, thank you so much for constant support and feedback. The more information we get from you, the quicker the update will come, so don't hesitate to throw your feedback whether on our discord server or here in Steam forums. Last but not least, we hope that you'll have a wonderful weekend ahead, full of joy and some quality time doing what you love.

With the Airport DLC out, we would like to thank you all very much for all the support you have given us.
We are naturally reviewing all the feedback you are giving us and seeing to get rid of the issues reported.
While we were able to push out a hot fix last night already, we are still working on further fixes and improvements and hope to be able to provide the first patch soon.

We would however love some support in chasing down the causes of some of the issues. If you have a problem, please write us directly to [email protected] and tell us as much as possible about the bug and if it makes sense also describe the circumstances under which it appeared.

If possible, please send us your save game folder. You'll find it in %LOCALAPPDATA%/GSS2/Saved/SaveGames - please zip the entire folder and email it to us.
Having your save games available helps us to speed up the process of finding causes for bugs significantly :)
