Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽
Welcome to another devlog in which we’ll do our best to familiarize you with our upcoming DLC. We’ve already shared some details about Joe and Towy, so if you missed the previous devlogs, you can check them here (Meet Joe & Say hi to Towy). Today we’re going to shed some light on the trading aspect that is coming with the Gas Station Simulator - Airstrip DLC. Without further ado, let’s get some trades going!
Trading System 💰
Occasionally, your Airstrip will have the unique opportunity to welcome country-related planes. Each plane will have a different set of products at its disposal, so you'll be able to get some unique items each time they arrive at your airstrip. To make a deal, you’ll need to make sure that your stock is full of high-quality items, as this will boost your chances for a successful trade.
Your chances of success are indicated by a circle that, depending on the item's quality and the amount you want to sell or buy, will change accordingly. It’s totally up to you whether you want to try your luck or not – the rewards might be worth a try, but you have to keep in mind that the pilot might not want to give you a second chance. However, some tricks will aid you or make your life a little harder as you progress through the game.
Boosts 📈 & Impediments📉
Boosts are randomly generated events that create additional opportunities for the player to get a particular item at a preferential price. They can appear both on the players' and pilots' sides, but there is no possibility that they will show up on both sides at the same time. There is only one exception to that rule, but we’ll leave it for you to discover it when the Gas Station Simulator - Airstrip DLC releases on April 28th, 2023!
On the other hand, you’ll also encounter some obstacles along your trading journey. While boosts will significantly help you, the impediments are designed to make the gameplay more challenging.
Card System 💳
To make trading a little easier, we’re adding some active cards that you’ll be able to get if you complete a specific set of tasks in the game. These might be upgrading a particular building or completing a certain amount of trades in the game. There will be four of them for you to collect, and you can already check what their purpose is.
COGENCY
EXTRA TIME
POWER OF CALM
EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE
Stay up-to-date
