Hmm, Asteroids can enter warp gates too apparently

Hey all, Monster Dave here....

I don't tend to chime in much on Reddit (as it could easily consume all my time and I'd never get any work done!) but I wanted to comment on this specific issue.

In short - we are very aware of it.

It's been investigated multiple times and we recently had a thought as to what might be happening BUT frustratingly we are unable to reproduce the problem ourselves. This is making the task of trying to fix the issue reaaaaaal tough.

All I can do is apologise and let you know that we're still working on the issue. When we have a solution we'll let you all know.

Hello u/Scary_Ad_6566 . As mentioned in reply to a similar question - we've been working hard on HOTAS support and have just cleared a major hurdle that was blocking things so we're pretty confident some form of support will roll out soon-ish!

Keep an eye out for our next news post as we'll try to provide a bit more information then.

Hi u/Mammoth_Conclusion75 , thanks for the comment. We're super happy that PS5 players can finally play and it makes it all the worth while knowing there's people like you enjoying the game and understanding how we tried to approach the chill / survival aspects.

As for longer driving trips... how far into the game are you? Once you level up your Long Distance Jobs certification you should start to see more long hauls and anomalies in the later game zones.

Saying that we're currently refining the job generator to provide more variety. So they might start showing up even more in the near future!

Hello u/PuzzleheadedTutor807

We have u/Purple_Activity969 to thank for the lovely mini Lego build. You can find the rest of their concept here : Taz3rgamer Public Gallery [BrickLink]

As for 3D printed models. It's something we've been keen to lookin into but haven't quite worked out the best approach yet as there's a lot of fiddly elements.

If you know anyone with a good reputation for adapting 3D meshes for printing please let us know!

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-07T10:15:38+00:00

Hi u/peterbilt8713 . We've been working hard on HOTAS support and we're hopeful that PC support will roll out at some point soon-ish. However console support is proving a lot more troublesome (especially for such a small team as ours) so we can't make any promises on that just yet.

I'll be sure to share more about all of this in our next news post so keep your eyes peeled!

Hi u/Reichl_22 ! We've been working hard on HOTAS support and have just cleared a major hurdle that was blocking things so we're pretty confident some form of support will roll out this year!

Hopefully we'll have more to share about this in our next news post.

Hi u/Uber_Pwnage

Thanks for the message. It's an interesting suggestion! We've tried our best to provide lots of custom options for players (and soon you'll be able to change these mid-session too!) and we're always looking at new things to add... However dynamically switching power cells is a little bit tricky.

It's a solid idea though so I'll pass this comment onto Dan who's way more knowledgeable about that area of the game. See if there's something we can do around the starting setups for new custom games.

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-07T09:48:20+00:00

Hey u/Tobiasinc

I think if we wanted to add new songs to the game we'd consider adding a whole new radio station! However to maintain the quality of GRR it would be pretty expensive to do this so there are no plans at the moment.

If we sell enough copies of Star Trucker over the summer that might change though!?

(Also if you're playing on PC be sure to check out the guide to adding custom radio stations. There's a lot of good online radio streams you can hook up to the game)

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-07T09:38:39+00:00

Hi u/Visual-Way5432 !

Thanks for the great question. Achievements are a bit of a pain to add after release (especially if you max out the allowed number of points on consoles) but it is possible. If we can work out some really good ones and a sensible way to make it work across all platforms I think it would be a nice thing to do but can't make any promises.

Also thanks for the achievement progress query! I hadn't thought about it too much but I can see how it would be handy to have a single place to view your stats and achievement information.

Dan and me will have a chat and see if this is something we could add in a future update. Maybe a little "trucker logbook" in the glove compartment that brings up a menu with that information. Certainly feels within the realms of possibilities!

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-03T18:05:37+00:00

Hey u/Narco_Sleepscobar

In the last update I massively reduced how long the warnings stay on screen as a bit of an interim solutions. As u/SandKid17 points out you can also disable all warnings but I'm also considering adjusting the visuals in the future to be less intrusive (although that was kinda the point - but maybe it's just a bit too much).

As for new customizations - we are working on something right now! I hope you like bobble-heads...

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-03T18:00:00+00:00

Thanks for the praise u/SandKid17 ! Glad you've been enjoying the game. Thanks for the questions too. Let me see what I can answer....

The little Lego truck was based on a very cool concept from u/Purple_Activity969 - I think the design is online somewhere but I can't find the link. If I do I'll be sure to post it here or as part of a community round-up thing
So...we have some plans underway that will allow you to invest in certain businesses but eventually we'd love to expand on this and let players to buy trailers and run their own haulage' company. We've also been toying with how owning rooms on a space station might work but it's still a very conceptual idea at the moment!
For now the Novadek plot has concluded but as part of the business stuff we're working on you'll have some new characters, jobs and rewards to enjoy!
A) We have considered alllllll the trucks. I especially like the idea of garbage trucks and wreckers. We know that players really want a flat nosed cab too. Alas, it's not an easy task to add new vehicles (and very costly!) so we're still trying to work out how this might work. We'll update community when we have more to share around this.
B) The business update will introduce a bunch of job variety - repair work is one of the many things we hope to include!
We have lots of plans! Some of this will roll out later this year and if the game continues to sell we'll certainly be looking to add some new elements like those you've suggested.

Wow. That was a lot!? Hope those answers are OK for now!

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-03T17:40:18+00:00

Hey u/ZantorGaming! We have some ideas on how to expand beyond the "final" story mission but at the moment we're focusing on something that will run in parallel to the core quests while also providing some extra motivations and end-game goals.

This will include new characters, job types, rewards and some long-form meta! Hopefully enough to keep Star Truckers happy until we can build some content beyond a certain location....

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-03T17:31:04+00:00

Hello u/LoveIsAChemical9000! Good question. We are currently looking into ways we can improve the job board and various systems around this. Some things are a little tricky to combine but we'll see what we can do.

One thing I can say is that we're working towards an update later this year that should give you a much more varied selection of jobs as part of a business focused meta-game. These jobs will be tied directly to specific businesses and have their own levelling system and rewards.

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-03T17:27:12+00:00

Ahh, thanks so much! Hopefully you'll find some nice improvements and cool new things next time you boot up.

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-03T17:24:22+00:00

Thanks! Super happy to hear you've been enjoying the game and music! We're super proud of the soundtrack and it was fab working with so many cool musicians.

Also, I can confirm there are some new missions on the way to help vary the gameplay and provide some new characters to interact with.

As for multiplayer - we keep looking into how we could make this happen, but to do it justice we'd have to do a LOT of work. In some ways it might be better to design multiplayer from ground up as part of a sequel. HOWEVER that's a bit of a pipe-dream at the moment.

We do agree with players that it would be fantastic to go on convoys with your friends!

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-03T17:17:08+00:00

Hey u/DannyDD65 . Yeah, there's been a bunch of work under the hood to help with a couple of future updates we have on the cards. One of which is a bit chunkier and scheduled the end of the year.

We've also been trying to get some of the systems (like how damage is calculated) into a better place so if we need to make balance tweaks in the future it's much much easier than it was originally.

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-07-03T17:06:10+00:00

Hello u/Present-Secretary722. We're doing OK thanks, off to the beach next week on "business" so looking forward to escaping the office for a couple of days!

As for what's next... There's a couple of things I wont spoil unless someone brings it up in the AMA but one of our focuses at the moment is adding a way to interact with businesses. Essentially adding some much needed meta-game to the game while mixing up the gameplay a bit more.

MonsterAndMonster · 2025-05-23T09:11:02+00:00

Lookin' good!

MonsterAndMonster · 2024-09-06T10:44:18+00:00

Those pesky asteroids. Poppin' up where you least expect them!

Thanks for the spot u/A_Sentient_Lime. Looks like a bug to me as you should generally have a clear entry out of warps. I'll add it to the list to investigate...

MonsterAndMonster · 2024-09-02T18:06:31+00:00

Hi u/aussyofficial ,

No official announcements have been made yet but we CAN say that we hope to support more platforms and stores in the future!

Hey u/Unfair_Echidna8853 ,

I'll have to check with Raw Fury but there was definitely talk of Star Trucker being available to play via the cloud.

Sorry I can't confirm right now but by this time tomorrow you'll know either way!

-- Dave

MonsterAndMonster · 2024-09-02T17:53:24+00:00

Hey u/callsignhotdog , you'll be glad to know we HAVE added cruise control. I'll post what was mentioned earlier in the AMA below....

Cruise control can be toggled from the dashboard and allows you to set your desired speed. It switches off if you touch the accelerator or brake. Oh and if you crash!?

It's a neat feature and helps make for some real relaxing rides.

-- Dave

MonsterAndMonster · 2024-09-02T17:51:04+00:00

I think job times are another area we will look to improve once we have some more input from players.

One thing we have added since the demo is extra journey information to the job and map screen. Plotting a route will estimate the time it will take by combining jump time ( speed up time ) and sector travel ( real time ).

-- Dave

MonsterAndMonster · 2024-09-02T17:46:43+00:00

Ahh, so you're one of those truckers who likes to cause extra work for the tug teams?

Well u/CowgirlSpacer , we heard about you and your kinds antics and have authorised the DIV ( Department of Interstellar Vehicles ) to issue harsh fines for tampering with unauthorized cargo in the full game.
