With the Simfest taking place, Gas Station Simulator is participating and is doing so with a 20% discount. We also announced the first part of the road map for game as well as its first DCL: Can Touch This:
Announcing Gas Station Simulator’s first DLC and road map for 2022
Today, we are very excited to finally announce our first DLC for the Gas Station Simulator. Can Touch This will be the very first DLC for the game and will introduce far reaching customization options for your gas station, workshop and warehouse.
From customizing walls and roofs up to changing position of windows, doors, trashcans or cash register, the DLC offers many new things that might catch your eye. Stickers that you can spray anywhere on your gas station, more interior & exterior decorations and also more levels and employees!
The news however doesn’t stop there. Just have a look at the first part of the Gas Station Simulator road map for 2022 to see what you can expect in the future.
We decided to share with you our plans for the future of Gas Station Simulator by releasing the first bit of our road map for the game for 2022! Many of you have been asking what bigger things, beside patches and smaller content updates, we have in store for you and now is the time to find out.
The first part of the road map starts off with the already released Car Wash, followed by Can Touch This. Next will be a much larger DLC called Shady Deals that will transform the game completely and stands true to its name.
Apart from these DLCs, we are still planning to release more updates to the game and more DLCs later on. There will be a larger update to the game shortly before Can Touch This is being released that will bring some features to the game that have been requested a lot. A wall repaint service or some cool cleaning help, anyone?
Last but not least there will even be versions for consoles and macOS later this year! Yes, a lot is going to happen in and around Gas Station Simulator in the future :-)
Simfest is coming :)
With the Simfest just hours away Gas Station Simulator will participate and do so with a 20% discount. We are also going to use the Simfest for some very nice announcements in and around the game and what the future will bring.
Join us and stay tuned!

Hot Fix
This hot fix comes with various bug fixes, further performance improvements and fixes a crash related to the car wash.
Stability
Fixed a crash related to the Car Wash.
Bug Fixes
Ordering over 1000 units of anything should now be possible (in some saves it was still prevented with the last fix).
Loans will now correctly subtract money and remove popularity. Loans will also automatically be paid off if you have enough money when the load period ends, rather than causing penalties.
Using RMB when dropping cargo/boxes from delivery trucks will now always correctly return the box to the truck and the truck driver will no longer drive away with your goods if you do this on the last box of the set.
We've disabled the 'Lift Car' button during the initial tutorial 'Fix the Car' quest, and enabled ordering of car parts on this quest already. The reason for this change is that players were getting stuck on this quest when they threw away the parts or failed to repair a car fully until they ran out of parts. This change should significantly decrease any chance of getting locked out of progress.
Performance
We've optimized NPCs so they use less resources when idling. Further optimizations have been made to parked cars as well. At higher gas station levels the measured performance increase should be between 10-20% with recommended hardware or above. We're continuing to look at further optimizations on both CPU and GPU.
If you are noticing your performance dropping while washing cars, you can reduce the 'Effects' settings in Graphics Options to reduce the amount of particles that are being spawned and thus improve performance significantly.
Food Truck Simulator Contest
It's this time of the year again and we are finally giving you the demo of another of our games: Food Truck Simulator. The demo becomes available later today on February 21st 2022 at 7 PM CET / 10 AM PST! For this occasion, we decided to prepare a contest for everyone who wants to give it a whirl.
Jump behind the wheel and customize your truck as you like it, take a screenshot and share it on social media with #ftscuston to participate in the giveaway for a Gas Station Simulator key. We are giving out 10 keys.
We can't wait to see your creations! Good luck and have fun!
Announcing Motel Simulator to expand the gas station
A lot of the player base agrees, that beside a diner that will come with our Road Diner Simulator, the gas station could really do with a motel. That’s where Motel Simulator will come in. Like Road Diner, Motel Simulator will be very tightly integrated with both games and things you do on the gas station and/or at the diner, will influence the motel and vice-versa.
Road Diner and Motel are by far not the only things that are happening in the world of Gas Station Simulator right now. Not only are we working on the next update with more improvements, within a week or two we will also announce the first two DLCs for Gas Station Simulator that are both already being worked on.
