Your first minutes at the station
Step
When you load in, the station can feel overwhelming. Spending a minute or two exploring before customers arrive saves a lot of scrambling later. Pick a look for your character using the available clothing and accessories, then walk through every area of the station.
- Customize your character choose from the clothing and accessories available so you feel at home before the rush starts.
- Walk the whole station find the fuel pumps, the register, the stock area, and the office so nothing surprises you mid-shift.

Core job loop: fuel, pay, repeat
CheckCustomers arrive and make requests. Your job is to fulfill those requests accurately and quickly, then process payment at the register. A missed pump or an unpaid ticket quietly drains your revenue, so build the habit of finishing each step before moving to the next customer.
- Listen to the customer's request and pump the correct amount of fuel.
- Head to the register and process payment before the customer leaves.
- Check fuel stock regularly running dry means customers wait and your rating drops.
- Clean dirt stains on cars and around the station to keep the place presentable.
- Polish windows when they get dirty so the station looks well-maintained.
- Confirm no customer is waiting unattended, especially during a busy rush.
Splitting the work across your crew
TipsUp to 12 players can work the station at once, and the game hands out distinct jobs — Clerk, Pump Handler, Janitor, and Manager. Overlap wastes time; clear roles do not.
- Assign one player as the dedicated pump handler so no car ever sits at an empty pump.
- Put your most organized player on register duty — processing payments without gaps.
- Give the janitor role to someone who will clean dirt stains and polish windows consistently, not just when things look bad.
- A manager should watch the big picture: stock levels, customer wait times, and whether bills are being covered.
- When a new player joins mid-session, give them a quick rundown of one role rather than throwing them into everything at once.
Bills, revenue, and avoiding bankruptcy
WarnThe game tracks consecutive days the station stays open, and the financial pressure increases as you go. A badge even exists for going bankrupt — it is something to avoid, not chase. Keep a close eye on whether money coming in exceeds money going out.
Staying open: the consecutive-day challenge
SummaryThe game awards badges for keeping the station open across multiple consecutive days, starting at day 3 and going all the way to day 50. Each milestone is a genuine test of sustained teamwork and financial management.
- Day 3 first proof that your team can sustain operations past the opening rush.
- Day 10 a real milestone that requires consistent role coverage every session.
- Day 20 breaking the limits.
- Day 50 the final badge, awarded for outlasting the ever-increasing bill pressure all the way to the end.

Common questions
FAQCan I play alone, or do I need friends?
You can run the station solo, but the game supports up to 12 players. Bringing even one or two friends and splitting roles makes a significant difference.
What happens if I go bankrupt?
The game has a badge specifically for going bankrupt, described as what happens when the rent never stops. It is a sign that bills outpaced revenue. To avoid it, make sure every customer interaction results in a completed payment and that your rating stays high enough to keep customers coming in.
How do I raise a falling customer rating?
Serve customers accurately and quickly — that means pumping the right amount of fuel, collecting payment without delay, and keeping the station clean.
What is the point of the day badges?
They mark how many consecutive days you have kept the station open, from day 3 all the way to day 50. Each one is a checkpoint that proves your team can handle the growing financial pressure without the station shutting down.
Do I need to spend real money to get new clothes?
No. Clothing and accessories unlock through gameplay progress, so you can build out your character's look just by playing. The game also has a Donator badge for those who choose to support the developers, but it is not required for customization.
