These might just save your life:

• Being docked at a station does not give you oxygen.
  
• Don't release the airlock without your spacesuit...
  unless you want an achievement (save first).

• Originally posted by rigsta:

  You can reopen station menus while still docked by closing your airlock door. - original credit

  
  
• If you're flagged for a weight check, DO NOT SELL OR JETTISON CARGO. They're monitoring you, and you'll be fined $1,500 (Littering) if you do!
  
• Turn Off System Alerts to remove unnecessary warnings from your screens (especially useful in 'shutter down' areas).
  
  
• Pressing F will rotate the object you are holding 90 degrees.

Will update as I reveal the last sector.

Most of the time, setting your temperature to Moderate with the blower on Low will keep you at 68°F.

Sectors unlocked when gaining the Scanner Upgrade (Side Job).

• Scanning reveals crystal-like asteroids that are normally invisible. They will become visible briefly before fading back to invisibility.

Sectors unlocked when gaining the Shock Pod Upgrade (Side Job).

• Up to three Shock Pods can be installed at once. They have no hit points and are only valuable if they 'pop' for selling.
  
• Electrical Storms move around, so if it’s in the shop now, don’t sit in it to buy or sell. Wait for it to move.
  Or you'll risk popping all three of your original (free) Shock Pods...

Sectors unlocked when gaining the Shutter Upgrade (Side Job).

• Solar Storms spike temperatures to 2,500°F.
  
• Keep the shutters closed and either stop or rely on your monitors to keep trucking.
  
• You’ll receive an audible warning if you’re outside the truck in your suit when a solar storm is approaching.
  
• If you need to leave the truck in a sector with solar storms, close the shutters first to avoid overheating when exiting your suit. Also, close them when docked at any stations.

Black Market, Security Checkpoint, & Weigh Station are dynamic, so remember to check your map!

Still learning more about this one.

• Sells the unique item Stardust (narcotics).

• Occurs when first entering a system with a security checkpoint.
  
• $1,000 fine for illegal goods found (confirmation needed, haven’t been caught yet).
  
• If you place items in the hidden compartment, they cannot be scanned by the checkpoints.

• The Weigh Station will be active when you are near it, even if it moves to your sector after you have already been in it.
  
• If found overweight, you'll be required to surrender items until you're under the weight limit.
  Check the bugs section; there is currently a bug related to this, as well as a potential workaround.
  
• Ejecting, selling, or otherwise removing items from your truck counts as an illegal act in the eyes of Rosso, resulting in a $1,500 fine. However, this option avoids the need to surrender items. In some cases, this may be preferable to surrendering cargo.

The game doesn't offer any cargo straps to secure your cargo in the cab, but we have a solution!


Place containers on the shelves, and when you open them, they wedge into place. This prevents them from moving when you turn off the Gravity Compensator.

Note: Even if cardboard boxes and hard cases are wedged in place with this method, crashing into objects can still dislodge them and create a mess.


Angle cardboard boxes just right to help secure other cargo.

Note: The previous method with gas cans didn’t work for securing them.


The airlock is ideal for storing items while you travel.

Don’t worry about accidentally ejecting the items; the airlock will be obstructed by anything you’re not holding when you try to open it to space.

I keep old batteries around and use them when I’m idling, waiting for a Just-In-Time job. This allows me to squeeze out every last bit of juice from them. I then store them until I enter a sector with a high markup and sell them for a profit.

Being docked seems to use station power, as indicated by 'external power connected'.

Core Power / Maglock Controls will continue to operate with just a single battery.

I turn off the Gravity Compensator while driving and load as much as I can into containers and the airlock.

• This system is a major power drain, so I box all my cargo items and turn it off.
  
• To prevent boxes from floating around, store everything in the airlock while driving.

I frequently unhitch the trailer while waiting for Just-In-Time delivery windows.

• When not moving, unhitch your trailer to save on Maglock Battery Power (zero power usage).

• Regularly maintain the filters to reduce power consumption and keep oxygen levels optimal.

I don’t replace the batteries in the suit power directly. Instead, I transfer the lowest battery from another system to the suit, then replace that one with a new battery.

• The suit power only consumes energy when recharging the suit or when the suit is refilling with oxygen.
  
• This method helps drain old batteries, allowing you to allocate new batteries to more critical systems and use the leftovers for the suit power.

I turn off all lights and drive in the dark to conserve power.

• Lights use Core Power, so turn them off when they are not needed.

• If you're in a system where gas is less than $2.00 a gallon, FILL YOUR TANKS!
  
• Gas Canisters are more expensive than getting fuel directly from the pump. Use them only in emergencies!

• Not all jobs on the job board can be competed on time.

Salvaging is currently more profitable than doing hauls, so prioritize the most valuable items to maximize your payout. Make sure to bring a container with you while salvaging, allowing you to collect more small items without constantly returning to your trunk.

Tip: Once you unlock the scanner, leaving the gravity on can be useful as you’ll encounter many large items (like batteries) that can’t fit into containers.

When trading, always aim for a 40%+ markup to make the most of your sales. Some sectors, like Dustbrook and Solitude, offer markups as high as 60%, making them perfect spots to sell high-value and rare goods.

For example:

• If you have a Golden Cone with a base value of $1,000, selling it in a sector offering a 40% markup will earn you $1,400.

Chemicals

• Mining Charge (explosives / illegal) – Base Value: $2,500

Electronics

• Data Tape – Base Value: $1,000
  
• Micro Stabilizers – Base Value: $5,000

General Goods

• Golden Cone – Base Value: $1,000

Textiles

• Eveningwear Carton – Base Value: $5,000

---

Always check sector prices before offloading your cargo, as some goods can yield significantly higher profits in specific locations.

Pro Tip: Once you unlock the hidden compartment, you can safely store illegal items there. It fits two containers' worth of cargo, perfect for keeping those high-risk, high-reward items safe during transport.
