**The Dust Bowl** is the primary location in Gas Station Simulator. The Dust Bowl is Gas Station, which is owned and operated by the Player.

## Description

Giving the rise to the name “Dirty Thirties”, the Dust Bowl was a region of the Southern Plains of the USA that suffered severe droughts and dust storms for nearly the entire decade at the end of the last millennium. While rains have returned to the region and nature managed to mend, a catastrophe of such magnitude mustn't just be forgotten.

Which is why each and every glance at the station’s name will serve as a reminder never to underestimate the dryness nature is capable of. One man can’t fight against the storm - not unprepared, at least. Dust storms have pelletized the area and the sand mounds that build up require prompt removal. Just expect nature to throw a curveball your way once in a while.

## On-Site Locations

### Warehouse

*See Warehouse.*

**The Warehouse**  is located in the rear of the Dust Bowl and is used to store inventory such as Products for the station including Food, Drinks, Newspapers, Car Fluids, and other products available. There’s 3 total upgrades that can be purchased for the Warehouse, with each one increasing the capacity limit.

### WorkShop

*See WorkShop.*

**The WorkShop** is an unlock-able expansion to the gas station, allowing players to repair vehicles to earn more money. The Workshop can be leveled up, unlocking additional repairs. Eventually, players will also be able to add a second bay to the garage, allowing more vehicles to queue for repairs.

Similar to the gas station, players will need to manage the inventory of car parts available for repairs. However, unlike the gas station, players will not need to purchase shelving or storage for the garage: shelves and storage are automatically included when unlocking the garage and leveling it up. Below is a chart showing how many of each car part can be stored in the garage. Additional car parts can be stored in the warehouse, like gas station products.

## On-Site Vehicle

An excavator is going to be a big help in this endeavor.
The excavator is a heavy piece of machinery and goes through large amounts of fuel in no time. Not to mention the excavator is hardly automated - you’re going to be sitting in the driver’s seat after all. Without skill and a good eye, you will find your time spent behind the steering wheel much longer than you’d expect, and in turn you’ll see all that precious fuel as nothing but fumes released into the air behind you.

## Clearing Traffic

Sometimes customers will get stuck at your station or perhaps there’s just too many of them! You can clear or "reset" traffic by clicking the red button on the pole where the sign is located. Upon pressing the button, you'll notice a UFO will appear and consume the customer's vehicles, giving you a clean start.

The Red Button will initiate the clearing process.UFO at work.
