- 🔧 UPDATE – Calendar System, New Events & Broken Products
- Calendar events, expanded broken systems, weather improvements, and multiple gameplay balance updates
- With this update, we've focused on expanding the new Phase 1 event system, improving broken product mechanics, and delivering various quality-of-life and atmosphere improvements.
- 📅 Calendar System & New Events
- • Added the new Calendar system
- • Events are no longer limited to random occurrences. Fixed calendar events can now take place on specific days each month.
- • Calendar events increase the number of customers visiting your rest area on the corresponding day
- • The calendar can be found attached to the back storage room door in the Gas Station Market
- • Day 4 – Travellers Day
- • Day 10 – Adventure Day
- • Day 13 – Aurora Day (sometimes accompanied by a Meteor Shower)
- • Day 19 – Highway Friday
- • Day 23 – Oriseus Festival
- • Day 28 – Road Trip Festival
- • Added two new random events:
- • Highway Truck Accident
- • Meteor Shower
- • Both events are positive and increase customer traffic to your rest area
- 🔧 Broken Products & Service Reputation
- • Broken products now affect Service Reputation
- • Expanded the broken products system across multiple businesses and upgrade systems
- Broken products can now occur on:
- Gas Station Market:
- • Entrance Door
- • Refrigerator
- • Comfort System
- • CCTV System
- • Anti-Theft Gate
- • Surge Protection
- Supermarket:
- • Entrance Doors
- • Refrigerator
- • Comfort System
- • CCTV System

- Car Wash:

- Note: More breakable systems does not mean more frequent breakdowns. We've simply increased the variety of systems that can break, without making the game more difficult.
- • Improved Service Reputation explanations in the F1 Guide menu
- ⛽ Gas Station Market
- • Added a new monitor to the Gas Station Market displaying the status of fuel pumps
- 🌦 Weather & Atmosphere
- • Added lightning strikes during rainy weather
- • Reduced fog density
- • Night-time visibility has been slightly improved during rainy and stormy weather
- • Rain puddles and storm conditions have been further refined for better atmosphere
- Note: If you saved the game during foggy or rainy weather, loading that save may still display the previous fog density. The new values will take effect after the next weather transition.
- âš–ï¸ Balance Changes
- • Reduced excessive trash generation during late-game progression
- • Reduced late-game customer traffic at the Car Wash to improve balance
- 🎨 UI
- • Improved readability of long card titles on the Tablet Upgrade and Broken Products pages
- Final Note:
- With the expansion of breakable systems and the addition of more positive events, Rest Area Simulator now offers greater variety than before. The increased number of positive events should make earning money a bit easier for many players, but remember: RNG still plays a major role in RAS.
- Every rest area has its own story, and what works perfectly in one playthrough may unfold very differently in another.
- â¤ï¸ Thanks for all your feedback and support. We'll continue improving systems and polishing the overall experience with future updates.
