I Regret Getting Into the Intergalactic Advertising Business in Star Trucker

Welcome back to Star Trucker. In this episode of Star Trucker I'm struggling to make ends meat once again and this time I try my luck with some heavy hauling. I hope you enjoyed this episode of Star Trucker, thanks for watching and liking.

About Star Trucker:

Haul cargo, trade salvage and keep your space suit close as you search for fame and fortune among the stars in a game that puts an interstellar twist on the truck sim genre.

Couple of pointers Drae:

-avoid doing quests (aka story missions) until you have some money saved up MOST of them do NOT pay you a dime so it costs you money. No sense in doing them if you literally don’t have money to begin with cuz it’ll run you into the red that much quicker.

- the weigh stations (should be mass stations since space… but whatever) are only for measuring your truck cabin cargo (ie “loose” junk: unused batteries, UCC’s, gas cans, soda packs, etc), trailer or not changes nothing.

-air filters should go into the two brackets CLOSEST to the oxygen machine (labeled L1 and R1 on the oxygen monitor screen, respectively). The ones closer to the windshields (the unlabeled ones on the monitor) are auxiliary and not having the first two occupied at all, staggered occupation (ie R1 and L2 as shown in your video), or just having one filter present SEVERELY decreases the life and efficiency of the filters.

-air filters PART TWO. You NEED to prioritize getting all four filters in place, it greatly slows down the depreciation of the whole system other than the UCC which seems to be a fixed rate.

-turn off the suit charger when not in use. cycle the old, almost dead batteries and not broken UCCs into it and the gravity generator. Theyre the most forgiving systems to utilize. And allows you to extract every dollars worth out of your gear when you’re constantly in a bind.

- fuel part one. You don’t need to fill up full every time. I highly recommend against it until you have a nice sum of money saved up. Just buy a half tank or so at a time so you’re not dumping all the money you just earned right back into fuel.

-fuel PART TWO. Pay close attention to prices. When some stations are higher but you desperately need fuel, it can actually be cheaper to buy a gas can or two from the store which gives 150 gallons each and you can sell the empty can back for like $20 (for example: 3.79 per gallon = $568 per 150 gallons versus 450 to 500 for a can that gives 150 gallons plus the empty can = 2.86 per gallon). Obviously the trick only works when the fuel price is astronomical and also only if the store sells gas cans.

-fuel PART THREE: in wide open areas, make use of the driver assist OFF function, it greatly saves fuel. I can easily hit 90 miles over the advertised 57 (145km vs 92km, respectively)

-some cargos are just NOT worth picking up. Such as the soda can packs. Even at full inflation, those suckers will only net you $13 with 100% health, it’s not worth the time to even grab them.

Hell yeah 40 minutes of watching Drae's incompetence is the perfect way to end my night! Love the longer vids for games like this

4:50 To avoid damaging them, you can place them on the table on the right.
Otherwise, it's a little more complicated, but you can also take them out of the box and place them in the same place on the foam (without embedding them inside).
And, if you are like me and always have at least 8 crates (blue, red, green and gray), you can also put the items on another closed crate, the parts will not be damaged.

Hey Drae, if you will like to, doing Moon Baby's missions with eventually get you a horn upgrade where you can detect multiple salvage every time in any sector. ;)

Drae:

1> just put blower to low and temp to moderate it fine in all zone.

2> there is meter for the static when it reaches red it pop's

3> and when you plan a route at the map, it says how much fuel you gonna use and even 15 km fuel is too much.

4> and i do a trick grab a quick one stop job for money it generally gives $ 1200 and it takes like 10 km of fuel worth it.

5> and let the battery deplete upto 4%and sell it give most value don't replace when they are 35%.

and loving series!!

Use your monitors on your truck while driving in first person, front cam and side cam etc. awesome game play absolutely adore this game.

[DrewLSsix]

A multiplayer mode for this game could be setup the way real team truckers work, they'll work opposing shifts in order to double the productivity of the rig, one drives while the other sleeps, a mode where you share your rig and contracts with another person somewhere else in the world, so they can play while you sleep work go to school etc, and vice versa. And just like the real world, you have the chance of waking up to find your partner has wrecked your truck and set you back immeasurably.

you don't need suit charger running. you can charge your suit when you're docked at a shop for basically free. get the scanner upgrade from moon baby and the secret compartment from barrow. start scanning for salvage beacons and loot to your heart's content. you will have everything you need and more money than you know what to do with.

[zone]

might want to look into where sells the cheapest fuel. you can use the cans to get you around till you can get back. cheers and good luck!

[metern]

Drae seems to not notice the hull breach in the tank he's hauling 😂. Probably a good thing to repair it.

Drae is making this game look so damn hard. I don't know his Settings but I'm playing on the recommended setting and can comfortably keep all systems running and have a relaxed day.

[thekwoka]

Drae, you can always buy necessities, so whenever they are cheap, buy them all. Then you can also sell extras when the price is high.

Awesomeness, a moving bill board, or a moving drive in. Holy smokes I almost piss myself. You are the new wave my friend. Thank you drea

[explorer]

A large part of money making in this game is trading, relying just on doing the haul missions will always have you breaking even, but knowing when to buy commodities low and sell high in systems where they're in demand while also doing the hauling hustle can have you making twice as much, otherwise not really using your fuel efficiently. You have a huge amount of rack space so make use of it!

[tonfaboy]

when doing story missions, what I do is I make sure I'm never headed anywhere empty handed, if the story is sending me to Tanktown or Atlas Prime I always check the job board in the system I'm currently in to see if there is any freight I can haul in the direction the story wants to me to head.

[VakomSunrunner]

The fact there isn't any form of cargo strapping for the cabin is insane. Like ya'll have intergalactic trucking, but forgot what a ratchet strap is.

[scrambles]

Drop everything on the bed Drae, soft surface = no damage.

[rsncrntz]

Your Eva training Drae is really E. V. A. Training, Extra Vehicular Activity

[Sergeant-]

Really Drae, the gravity joke, haha very funny.

Hello Space Drae! Keep in trucking my good man!
