Gameplay[]
Players work as employees in a run-down gas station worker cooperative In a city-side Gas station. Up to 14 players can be at a station.
Initially, the gas station comes with some installations. A limited budget is given at the start, and shelving and refrigerators for storing products must be purchased in order to sell products. The station comes with two gas pumps, with a third and fourth being purchasable with enough funds. Grid-connected solar panels can be purchased, which reduce energy utility costs, and can earn a profit for the gas station by selling excess power generated to the electrical grid.
Players can function as clerks, janitors, refuelers, and/or a Manager. During the day, vehicles park at gas pumps, and a player must interact with the car to refuel it. Inside the store, NPC customers shop for products. Customers can cause stains, which a janitor can clean up. Additionally, janitors must clean the surfaces of any solar panel installed, as dust reduces solar panel efficiency, reducing the amount of power generated. Janitors can also clean the windows to improve the station's aesthetics. At least one player must work as a clerk at the cash register for a customer to purchase products. When product stocks run low, players can purchase stock using the station's budget or out of their own income.
Managing the station's funds is an important aspect of the game, as running out of funds results in the station going bankrupt. When a station becomes bankrupt, all players are kicked from the session, and a new game can be started.

Map/game interactive elements[]
There are many interactive elements all around the map. The interactive elements listed here are based on if you had a fully upgraded gas station.
The order of the listing is based on if it catches your main attention first.
Elements[]
Most doors[]
A door that simply exists.
Manager's office door[]
A door that only the manager can manipulate (if one is present). This door leads to the manager's office. There you can find a sofa, old desktop, survival day count, employee of the day, a printer, manager's chair, blinds, light power switch and a donation billboard.
Gas pumps[]
Used for pumping gas into cars. Main method of earning profit. Handling gas pumps will grant you XP towards the refueler role.
Another uncommon interaction can be made. If a gas pump is smoking, squirting oil and displaying an error message, then that means the gas pump needs a repair. Repairing it will grant XP towards the janitor role (for some reason the developers overlooked this after an update which introduces mechanic). The animation of the repairing is a player amogus'ing a few wires then SLAMMING the machine.
Windows[]
The windows can be cleaned by a player. A dirty window is indicated by an ProximityPrompt or the visual dirtiness of the window. Wiping the windows until it's shining clean will grant you XP towards the janitor role.
An auto cleaner can also be bought for the windows as well. But you may only buy two unless you own a gamepass.
Car Wash[]
Car Washes can be bought with either Robux or station funds.
If a players buys a Car wash, Cars can be washed by players or you can pay Robux to make it automatic.
