  89. Final Note:
  90. 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.
  91.  
  92. Every rest area has its own story, and what works perfectly in one playthrough may unfold very differently in another.
  93. ❤️ Thanks for all your feedback and support. We'll continue improving systems and polishing the overall experience with future updates.
