Hey, Gas Jockeys! ⛽
I’m more than thrilled to announce that the Restocking Shelves Update is finally available for you to download. Make sure to update the game and while you wait, let’s dive right into what’s in store for you this time around 🤩
Yeap, you hear that right! From now on, your employees will finally have the possibility to restock those empty shelves and do the tedious work for you. Of course it’s totally up to you – you can still do it by yourself, but if you feel like you need some well-deserved rest, you can freely assign this task to one of your employees. If you want to see how it looks in the game, make sure to head over to our previous announcement
Oh… And along with the update, our team has managed to fix some of the issues you’ve reported previously. Check the full patch notes below and let us know in the comments down below what you think 👇
Changes🔄
- Automatic Restocking: now you can use your Employees to restock your Shelves. You can pick between automatic restocking and custom set up which allows you to control which products are restocked and when. We also reworked the mechanic of picking up shelves.
- Challenges Rework: Challenges have been balanced in the Base Game and Tidal Wave. In TW, they contribute to reducing the volcano’s anger. For the ones already present in the Base Game, We’ve added two new challenges related to refueling boats.
- In the Base Game, challenges have been modified based on the popularity level – up to level 8, challenges require fewer customers to be served and offer smaller rewards in terms of popularity points. After level 8, challenges require serving more customers but grant more popularity points.
- Show/Hide HUD: we added another Display Option that allows the player to hide HUD.
