It’s also worth noting that we’ve adjusted our version stamps to better accommodate multi-platform builds and hot fixes.

      • Dead Drone Jobs - Refuel drones

      • Sleepy Trucker Jobs - Wake up truckers

    • x30 Progression Levels

      • Progress via VXP earned from Handyman jobs

      • Beyond Lv.30 you can earn a Venture title

      • A Venture title can be kept alive by continuing to level up (infinite levelling loop)

    • x65 Rewards

      • Combination of customizations and grabbable items

    • x6 Boosts

      • Help speed up Venture progression

      • Three job slot boosts to unlock

Interior Cab Customization

We’ve updated your Star Truck to allow a variety of interior customizations. This feature can be accessed at any time after the tutorial via the new artwork found above the workbench.

  • Interact with workbench board to open the interior customization screen

  • Pinned quest for interacting with customization board

  • Variety of new interior cab customization options

  • Bed styles and patterns

    • Dashboard Items

    • Dashboard Blower Items

    • Dashboard Lighting

    • Cab Color Palettes

    • Cab Trim

    • Wall Panels

    • Space Suits

    • Star Strips

    • Maglock Toppers

  • If required items show progress towards unlock

Adjustable Cab Seat

  • Players can now use buttons on the arm rests to adjust the height and position of their seat

  • Seat position is saved per save slot rather than globally

  • Custom bindings can be set for adjusting height and position

Job Generator Improvement

  • Optimizations "should" mean less / no stutter on warp exit

  • Job board should show more freight from around the galaxy

  • Fixed issues with XP calculations being wrong

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue where asteroids could occasionally appear during warp causing unexpected collisions

  • Fixes issue where your truck could drift out of position when it should be stationary

  • Fixed issue where queued shop items would never spawn after reloading a save

  • Fixed issue with large pipe artwork used in some sectors

  • Fixed the incorrect spelling of Techtrove Electronics signage in Darkside

  • Fixed some missing strings on the custom binding pop-ups

Misc

  • Game menu tab options have been reordered to accommodate Ventures

  • Truck interior has had a lot of adjustments and updates to account for interior customizations

As you can imagine this update touches on almost every element of the game and although we’ve spent a lot of time, energy and dollar testing it there’s bound to be some niggles.

To that extent we’d like to remind you that if you stumble on a particularly bad bug (or you just want to send some feedback) please head over to the Raw Fury Support Desk and submit a ticket. It makes it a lot easier for us to track and resolve issues this way. Thanks!
