Gas Station Simulator

Gas Station Simulator

This is infuriating!!! LOL (Solved/Answered Thank you!)
I cannot be the only one who gets pissed at the fact that drinks are falling into the basket and you can't scan them...right? lol I stop the belt well before the basket and the drinks fly into it with NO way of picking it out to scan it. It sinks the rating, the customer gets mad and it takes away from the immersion since in reality, you should be able to scan the item. I stop the belt as soon as the drink comes into view and it's like some little gnome throws it into the basket lol. This is my rant...that and it is May and my customers all have Christmas hats on and Santa is flying around with dead Elvis. I figured this would update out but having verified the files and triple checking that I have no updates, it is still Christmas in Gas Sim land haha.

You can turn off Christmas hats in the options menu.

Thank you Mike! This helps make things a little more realistic lol.
The physics of the conveyor belt are weird, yeah. Usually something will go flying if it spawns right next to another item. When picking up either of them be extremely carefull and it usually doesn't happen.

Hi NorCal, to quickly answer: No, you are not the only one that gets annoyed by the conveyor belt physics, we understand that and the team is working hard to try and make the game better and better with each update/patch/hotfix.

Haha, well, i have an excuse for those customers with christmas hats on (while Gustav have it permanently at the moment >.>), but you can turn them off in the Gameplay settings section of the game (like the good Mike1962 told you).
Also Elvis can be turned off the same way, and even santa, and any other event.

We decided to leave the player the freedom to put on/off events and decorations related to specific celebrations / holidays.
So anytime anyone wants, is free to make the station a spooky castle (halloween) during summer, or a sweet and cozy pink one (valentine) during christmas.

That's our Discord (if you did not joined alredy):

Thank you so much for the reply! I definitely did not expect a dev reply at all! I am glad to hear the belt physics are in the works and for the other settings thank you for making them an option. I do like Elvis lol its a pretty funny edition. Thank you again for the reply and I am really enjoying this game, I have the DLC on my list of things to pick up as well.

Yea emphasis on "extremely" lol, there are some times I just click on the item without even moving the mouse and they go flying but that is a rare thing. I have been slowing down on it and being more careful and it has helped. The bottles seem to be the worse, then the chips lol. Thanks for the reply!

One of the things i did was figure out which products were most likely to go flying, then i stopped stocking them on the shelves. Sure may lower my customers buying as much but it makes it way more fun when doing the mini game.

Considering when items fall into the basket they are free, I really don't get why customers get angry xD

yes :radio80s:

They get angry because your character probably said a bad word when it happened. :steamsalty:

I find the "they get annoyed at you not scanning and charging for an item" weird and unimmersive too, but from a dev pov, they needed a mini-game mechanic and there isn't much else that makes sense.

Yea I like the idea of this mini game too, it adds a lot to it. I have played a lot more on the cash register lately and noticed that this only happens with the yellow labeled bottle. All the others stay up right. The others that mess up are the hats and sometime items get stuck in the belt but usually you can use another to move it out. I think it's awesome that the DEV replied and that it's been on their radar to patch it.

Yeah, don't get your hopes up too much, other bugs have been "on their radar" too, but went unpatched while DLC came out. 🤡
