Hey everyone!
I've been working on a new mechanic for Highway Station Sim: a full electricity system for the station.
Your station consumes power throughout the day. At midnight, you get a bill based on how much you used. Solar panels can offset that cost — or even earn you money if you produce more than you consume.
On top of that, random power outages can hit starting from Day 3. When they do, everything shuts down — pumps, registers, EV chargers. There's a generator out back you can fire up to keep things running, but it burns fuel, so it's not free either.
That's about it for this one. More updates coming as development continues — wishlist the game to follow along!

That pressure eased up, and once it did there wasn't really a good argument left against it. This game is a lot of small jobs happening at once — pumps, shelves, orders, the register — an…Devlog #2 — When the Lights Go OutHey everyone! Following up on the electricity system from the last devlog — I've spent this week making it a lot meaner. Outages aren't random anymore. Once you're past the first few days, you can count on one hitting every day, and always while you're busy running the station. The generator is still your way out, but it's hungrier than before. It burns fuel straight out of your own tanks — the…Solo Developer Looking for Beta TestersHello everyone! I'm excited to finally introduce Highway Station Simulator to you! This project is being developed by a solo developer , and I've been working hard to create an enjoyable gas station and highway service area management experience. While development is progressing well, I'd love to get feedback from players as early as possible to help make the game even better. Looking for Beta…
