About the Game
Hop into the driver's seat of your rocket-powered big rig as you haul cargo, scavenge for salvage and interact with an eclectic cast of star-hopping truckers in this Americana-infused journey on the ultimate open road - space!
Hi, this is Monster and Monster. Star Trucker is our tiny indie team's passion project, and we’re committed to making it the best intergalactic trucking game we can. By listening to the community, we’re working hard to improve the experience with every update. So buckle up and join us for the long haul!
Your truck is not a starship. We’ve taken typical vehicular controls then made sure zero-g momentum played a big part in maneuvers. The result is a unique driving experience that’s easy to pick up yet hard to master!
And don't forget to monitor the CB radio for chatter from fellow truckers; it's a fantastic way to uncover side gigs and stay updated on galactic gossip.
Keeping your rig runnin’ isn’t always easy. You’ll need to keep your core systems online, gravity compensator spinnin’ and hull patched to prevent your cab from leaking lung juice.
Be sure to make pre-trip shop stops for replacement parts, and consider upgrading your truck at a local garage. These improvements are vital for safely navigating volatile sectors and ensuring timely deliveries.
Use the galactic map to plan your journey and warp jumps, while keeping an eye on your fuel reserves and power levels.
Once your route is set, kick back, crank up the cab hi-fi and cruise to a selection of original songs covering starburst blues, galactic rock and asteroid infused americana. The open road is waiting!

Star Trucker has been updated to v1.0.72.0. This update improves UI legibility for PC and handhelds (such as Steam Deck) while also addressing some quest bugs and other minor issues.
UI Scaling
We now detect if Star Trucker is running on a Steam Deck and some other handheld devices
If a handheld is detected we enable Big HUD UI scaling by default
Scale boost to in-game UI
Scale boost to in-world POI markers
Scale boost to pop-ups
Reduced POI visibility angle when seated in cab to reduce POI label clutter
Big HUD toggle option has been added to Game Settings
This will be set to “ON” if playing for first time on a known handheld
This will be set to “OFF” if not playing on a known handheld
This allows non-handheld devices to enable larger UI
This allows handheld devices to disable larger UI
UI scaling option is saved per device
If you decide to play on Steam Deck the game should still default to Big HUD even if you’ve previously played on desktop with the same account / save file
Adjusted pop-up font scales for legibility
Adjusted various menu font scales for legibility
Adjusted map screen layout to accommodate larger font and tweaked font sizes for legibility
Increased POI marker texture resolution for sharper Big HUD (and 4K+) visuals
Quest Fixes
Fixed an issue in Dead Weight that could prevent progression
Fixed an issue in Cash Grab where a missing data relay could prevent progression
Fixed an issue in Junk for the Junk where waypoints would vanish if you leave the sector without collecting all shock pods
Bug Fixes
Fixed issue where very long CB Radio player responses could spill outside the screen
Fixed issue with the Task Panel background showing artefacts and stretching when scaled
Fixed issue where under rare circumstances, duplicate objects could block saving
Fixed issue where some error logging could cause performance issues

- Dan & Dave ( aka Monster and Monster )
The game has been updated to v1.0.41.0 bringing with it a range of bug fixes & balance tweaks. These should help provide a fairer and more consistent experience as you haul cargo across the stars.
Need to Know
Firstly we should mention that some of these fixes will only start to resolve themselves as you play. As existing jobs and cargo time out, newly generated jobs should behave as expected.
You will also notice that green and gold power cells that already exist in your cab will keep their existing charge despite an increase in capacity. However, any new power cells you find or buy will start at their new maximum capacity.
The last thing to note is that by fixing a bug in the reward calculations you will now receive higher cash payouts but less XP. We’ll keep an eye on how this plays out and if required work on a more nuanced economy and progression pass for a future update.
Balance
- Power Cells are now better value for money
- Reduced fines for abandoning most jobs to 50% of job value
- Kept fines for abandoning valuable jobs at 200% of job value
- Essential items, such as Power Cells and Air Filters, now spawn more often in regular shops
- Jobs now correctly calculate rewards which results in more pay but less xp
- Increased maximum charge for green and gold power cells
Side Job Fixes
- Fixed issue where “Junk in the Trunk” could get stuck
- Fixed issue with “Rendezvous” sometimes not starting correctly
- Fixed issue with “Perfect Timing” showing an incorrect destination
- Fixed issue with “Hit and Run” failing to redirect players back to Vexmont
- Fixed issue where some side jobs didn’t show "Wait for CB Call" prompt on the Convoy screen
Sector Fixes
- Fixed issue preventing access to two dropzones in Darkside
- Fixed issue preventing access to a weigh station in Enigma Belt
- Fixed an issue where reloading a save in Haze Way would disconnect multi-trailers
General Fixes
- Fixed issue where job rewards were not calculating correctly
- Fixed issue where the job board was not showing the correct reward values
- Fixed issue with weigh stations ignoring your cargo capacity skill level
- Fixed issue with some jobs giving you trailers too big for a dropzone
- Fixed issue preventing saving after dying during warp
- Fixed issue preventing warp gates from working after a recovery
- Fixed issue with some asteroids having larger collision areas than intended
- Fixed issue where under some circumstances items vanish from containers on reload
- Fixed issue with recovery services not repairing the truck to 50%
- Fixed issue with map not showing a black market location
- Fixed various string and localization issues
- Fixed issue with oversized Panel Trailers generating in multi-trailer jobs resulting in some drop zone deliveries being impossible
Optimizations
- Electrical and Atmospheric Cloud optimizations
- Spark City Station and Tommy T Diner optimizations
- Various platform and girder LOD optimizations
Miscellaneous
- Updated Power Cell labels to reflect their quality ( e.g. Power Cell ++ )
- Tweaked wording on the New Game screen
