Safest Trucker In Space | Star Trucker gameplay part 1

You know we're on the right track when I've wrecked my truck before starting the commentary. This is Star Trucker, a game about driving your star truck in the stars. I've no idea how much longevity I'll find in this, but right now I kinda love it. In this first installment I have lots of adventures with (the absence of) gravity.

Ah, welcome to Europa Truck Simulator....

[@Kay_McKay]

I see what you did there and I appreciate you!

[@Sargon_of_Cincinnati]

Colonel, you reverse a space truck better than you do a terrestrial truck. You are just a man too early for your intended time. A 24th century man, stuck here in the 21st century.

[@colonelfailure]

I'm tempted to take it as a compliment. Tempted.

[@joesoap7546]

The real question though is can he put his head out the dog like a window while doing it?

[@PuncakeLena]

Ooooohhhh, the post gameplay segment is back. I love these

[@RandomWombleP]

Opens manual, briefly looks at pictures ignoring the weird squiggles below, closes manual unhappy with information provided. Classic Colonel.

[@iceman90734]

Can't help but notice that the user manual both tells AND shows you where the gravity compensator is.

[@KerboOnYT]

😂

[@captainufo4587]

Also the popup. Also the sign on the stairs.

[@joesoap7546]

The colonel read a manual? Don't be daft man, frantic switch flipping and random button mashing produces far more accurate results. Read, pft, You think this is a library or something? :)

[@iceman90734]

@@joesoap7546 I know, right?! The sad part is that it's a 3-pager....and like a sentence on each...can't even follow pretty pictures, yikes hahaha

Missed a golden opportunity to use the space truck horn sound as your bleep sound for this series Colonel.

[@colonelfailure]

Oh, that's solid. You're hired.

[@MiggsGibbyson]

Can confirm that I am 36% happier and am indeed Superfine. Thanks for this.

[@WG55]

21:40 "Where is the gravity compensator?!" he says as he scrolls right past it. 😆

[@SaturnMist09]

Outtros are back!!! Woop woop! Great game so far. Looking forward to further adventures.

[@jbktiger]

This chaos is going to be fantastic

[@matthewstewart8607]

Love this! It's comforting to see you find as many things to hit in the infinite vastness of space as you would on the M1 in rush hour.

[@Snake1257]

Every developer who uses Shift as a main key in a game is just evil. 😂 Surprised me with the return of the Outro malarkey. Quite happy to see that back on occasion.

[@KerboOnYT]

A giant truck. In space. With rocket engines. Oh, and the good Colonel is at the wheel? This is going to be fantabulous

[@faejon]

So much in this game to have a merry misadventure. Colonel make sure to wing every doodad and flip ever whatchamacallit. For a real adventure fly without the driver assist on.

[@Gav_Jam]

This was s classic Colonel caper and i look forward to the next outing. Also great to see the outro back 🎉

[@GrunfWorks]

When I saw the title i thought here is Colonel Failure playing Star Citizen. But it would not make sense. You don’t need to fail there, game does that for you. Nice episode btw. Was missing something like that 😅. Euro truck sim doesnt hit the same. 👍

[@coffee8866]

AH hell...."I got a hole in me doodads" sounds like a great T shirt.

[@IanEdmonds]

As I started watching this, I was reminded that your biggest complaint about train driving games is that they're on rails, and limit your freedom of choice. Trucks were better, because you got two dimensions. This now comes with another 50% more dimensions! I anticipate at least 50% more hijinx as a result.

[@arokh72]

I can see the Colonel dozing off and instead of crashing into a barrier, buggering up the truck, crashing into a planet buggering up the planet...and truck.

[@Jakeurb8ty82]

i second the sticky keys rant

[@aeronautic2374]

Ohhhhh yes the outros are finally back! I really like the look of this game! Truck simulator without the long drive element, so you're really only shunting around cities and towns. Looks like great fun!

[@SnapshotHoffy]

Please never accept an invite to Taskmaster. never change.

[@MrAdrianSW]

Look kids! Hes playing a Flight Sim !! Ah, the Colonel has a Busybox to play with!. So many buttons and levers and slidey things!! I think the point of the Suit is to... well... Not be used, by Not attempting to occupy the same space-time as other solid objects.

[@Northlander74]

Some aspects remind me of Rebel Galaxy and Rebel Galaxy Outlaw....thematically.

[@ashuggtube]

I like it when you honk the Space Horn!

[@timjerrom7173]

Excellent job sir, plus doing this without Jakes supervision too. Can't wait to see your following adventure(s) :) haha.

[@JonWisbey]

All it needs is a classic Deep Purple sound track... 'Cum on, let's go SPACE TRUCKIN''. Love it 👾

[@calvinmulraine736]

The game is so good it has the Colonel dropping F bombs 🤣🤣🤣

[@colonelfailure]

To be fair, that was Windows rather than the game.

[@roxbird20]

Love that you have a literal targeting computer this time.

[@MrGeneralScar]

Who else wishes there was a BTS editing camera angle in the end outtake showing the moment CF saw the sign for the gravity control when editing the video? Looks like a good game, and since its on all axises (up, down, left, right, roll, tilt), I am sure we are going to have a much more thrilling time watching. Looking forward to the comment " trucks broken"... Or in this case, its more likely going to be "hull breach" or "there's a hole in me truck".

[@CodeSquares]

I am here for Captain Space Beefcake and his fragile cargo adventures.

[@SteadyBob]

Excellent video and the return of 'The Outro', normal service has resumed.

[@ParkeraNZ]

This looks great! Thanks for showcasing this and looking fwd to more.

[@peterweaver6326]

This is great Colonel, more please.

I just started watching, and so far it is more like the game Tin Can that Euro Truck Simulator. 😆

[@joesoap7546]

The Colonel damaging a customers load in a trucking sim? Never, how preposterous.

Ahh the return of the outro! About trucking time. Great videotronic entertainment. Back to your best colonel. SUBSCRIBE

[@leighbellouny3904]

I had been hoping that there would be a Colonel series on this!

Classic colonel driving on the intro there.

Well surely you can't crash into things in spa- ah colonel

You're getting one more, with later instalments during early access.

[@Viper999DC]

One of the first things I do on any PC install is disable the sticky keys hotkey. It's nice that it's on by default for those that need it, but it clearly wasn't designed with gaming in mind.

[@darthvegan]

Well, that was delightful.

Last time I weighed myself I thought, 214 Kilos???? Then I remembered I live in the US.

[@cyberfutur5000]

I wonder if it was foreshadowing, him getting the idea there and then or a mere coincident, when he talked about trucks and the axis of movement they posses and 7 or lag in one of the last ETS episodes.

[@papasmurfette007]

Brilliant looking game Colonel. I'll be waiting for you to use the Cross Channel Hyperspace and forget to start driving on the other side of the Interspace Highway...

[@MrAdrianSW]

Hey, since you are Hauling in Space, I guess a Yorkie (its not for girls) is probably inappropriate... Perhaps a Marsbar, or a Galaxy would be more appropriate for snacking?.

[@alameachan]

1) If you don't use sticky keys, why don't you turn them off for good, for Pete's sake? 2) Why do devs always think I need a gorram campaign in my truck sim?

[@colonelfailure]

I have no disabled it permanently.

The stones r a pain. 2 more should get another truck

[@alalalus7692]

Not sure if you already encountered that off screen but flying without your gravity is gonna wreck all the components floating around, and they're pretty fragile in this game (at least they were freakishly fragile in the demo)

[@DSchrubbe]

The outro is back!

[@vincewilson1]

Every 21st-century computer game should have a GUI that lets you remap the keys! That's a staple in current video game riles. I thought every dev on the planet knew that nowadays.🙄

[@colonelfailure]

To be fair to the Devs, there are only two of them and the game is on day 2 of early access. Based on the reviews so far, it's not a mistake they'll make again.

[@C4Aries]

I love future space games that have battery technology that is from the 19flippin80's

Microsoft's idea of how humans work. My current favourite: OneDrive: We have noticed you just deleted a lot of files. Human: Yes I noticed that too. Because I DELETED THEM.

[@UKTVGlod]

It's good to be super fine

[@pliskenmovie]

The chattiness on the radio reminded me of the lonnnnnng rants that your fellow workers went on in hardspace shipbreaker. I hope it's not some similar endpoint. Not sure how much longevity something like this will have vs ETS/ATS since part of the charm is customizing your ride, and seeing what they've actually done with real-world locations and landmarks.

[@tboneisgaming]

Nice to see the outro back. I'd like to see controller and Hotas support.

[@SenorNiceGuy]

Everybody is complaining about controls. Only a few see that Its obviously made for Controllers. Very good to use with a little more modern input than a Keyboard 😉

[@jamesknauer540]

Have you tried the Kessel Run, then? You could do it in reverse!

[@kwesiosei1846]

I think the balancing in the game even on normal mode for things like the power batteries need to be reduced. Fyi you can do a custom mode tho when you start to make things how you want it. Also can use controller with the game too.

[@arkadye]

Somewhere in Windows settings your can turn them off.

[@CMDRElfener]

I spent way too much time looking for the gravity access panel too when I played the demo of this some time ago.

[@colonelfailure]

It's very visible but only if you're looking at it. Given that you only face it when about to walk up the steps you never look at it.

[@Cleefbag71]

If only the gravity compensator page of the manual clearly stated 'The system can be found under the lower stairs'. Oh, hang on...

[@colonelfailure]

Yup, I missed the small line of text because I was looking for a clue in the ruddy enormous graphic while endeavoring to continue the narrative.

[@sethtriggs]

This game is pretty hilarious. But I can see how this would also get veeeeeerry annoying!

How to Turn Sticky Keys off in Windows 11 & 10 Open Settings. ... Go to Accessibility > Keyboard in Windows 11, or Ease of Access > Keyboard in Windows 10. Select the toggle next to Sticky Keys (Windows 11) or Use Sticky Keys (Windows 10) to set it to off. Jul 15, 2024

[@ashuggtube]

I knew someone would have said this already 😊

[@DarrenMalin]

disable sicky key or it WILL drive you mad as in going backward at 150 going 'AAAARRRHHHHHHHHH!!!!'

[@hinzster]

Windows is like "you are running Windows, there must be something wrong with you!" :) Sticky keys can be turned off globally. But the fact that you have to do that on each and every PC is quite stupid.

[@arkadye]

Sticky keys are for accessibility, particularly for people who struggle or can't hold multiple keys at once. (Imagine trying to do Shift+Y if you only have one hand). It has to be on by default or people who need it might not be able to turn it on. I think newer versions of Windows ask about it during initial set up, though.

[@spyone4828]

The second page in the manual, which you dismissed as telling you things you already know and turned to the third page, where you then exclaimed "Where is it? I know what it does!", began "Located under the lower stairs, ..." So not only is it labeled (which you pointed out when editing), but the manual that you insisted didn't tell you anything helpful told you exactly where to look.

Firstly I know you're from England. But you were literally driving on the wrong side of the space Lane. Also what people don't seem to understand, is as you're driving through the spacelane You're between (--) the goal is to keep your rig centered in the middle, on your respective side. there's even an indicating height alignment. You simply point your hood ornament towards the center light on each ( ) on your side & follow it around pointing at the next middle light in the chain. It's easy all you have to be is observant and watch what other vehicles are doing. I'm a truck driver It takes -Observation -Common sense -Skill To be a successful truck driver.
