Tip: if you are running low on power cells. Go hook your truck to a maglock (except the trailer), that is going to give you power from the station. You can charge your suit and not worry about power
Tip No.11: You can open your storage boxes and see the content when in the shop buy/sell screen. No need to dump what you wanna sell into the airlock 🤘 Edit: select said storage box and look for the button prompt at the bottom (be careful not to click sell 🤣)
One little tip. The fewer air filters you have, the faster they deteriorate, _and_ the more power your oxygen generator pulls, so you want to use as many air filters as you can fit into the cab(when you start, you have two working and a spare just lying out on the bench across from the bed)
Cells with little power left offer decent extra money when you return them compared to ones with zero power. The extra money is worth about 10 units of power.
From what I've seen it's even the whole way down. And from my experience if I can survive long enough to get one more trip before befitting it's worth the couple hundred.
Mate that box trick to stop them flying around in zero-G is gonna save me from soooooo many headaches. I also had noticed the rate of usage on the power cells before but it never occurred to me to actually check them when I turn stuff on & off lol your vid has definitely helped me with some serious cost saving measures.
Yeah, you are correct, but I think it's more about being deliberate in your actions and use of power and only engaging what systems you are currently using. If you're doing that, you will end up being successful. Most people struggling just need to change their thought process about how they are going about it.
I was really disappointed too, others said that backing up to it with a traielr would be a night mare ... id think youd backup ... somehow ... then go outside a,d use somekind of a winch to pull second - 3rd trailer to range and --- somehow --- manualy attach more trailers ... is how i wish it would work - getting outside .. and doing the work.
Not going crazy on the main story is a huge one. I hit a death loop by just doing story mission until I ran out of resources. It’ll probably take me two hours of doing generic missions to stock back up before I can continue with the story.
Great video and tips! Especially compare to other tips videos that take info from the user manual. It would be nice too see more content (tips/guides) that are "outside the truck". For example: how to find a black market, maybe some docking tips and general driving advices, systems where beacons with salvage are easier to find, etc.
You can find a black market by looking on the legend where it shows what is in a specific sector, there's a red circle with a skull and crossbones. Then just look around for buildings out of the way and not marked by a beacon. They turn off the beacon to stay hidden from the div.
I have tips for you: 1st you can almost fully block out cargo by using stairs when you dont have gravity 2nd you can right mouse button click on container when in shop and sell something straight out of anywhere, for example from crate. No need to move it into the airlock at all. 3rd be carefull with types of contract. Some timed ones can be pain in da ass. Either you are to soon or then too late when you jump trough gate, so you can end up waiting in real time long minutes.
@@Mello_S42 You can just jump trough the gate and back to the system. When you look at the map, you can see how much time the trip via gate will take. No worries to do it "late" as the penalty is not high from my experience
You Can save a lot of fuel when going straight by disactivating the right and left thrusters. Be careful though the ship cannot be steered in this situation.
@@Boon-N-BrosI’d say its far more applicable to turn off driver assist when flying in a straight line then letting off throttle. You won’t have your thruster’s fighting you in reverse, allowing you to coast while still having the ability to hit the brakes.
@@vincenzoimbragulia8152 I do like that feature. However, it makes swerving out of the way of debris or AI traffic (that should really slow down or at least try and avoid the player - I digress) a lot harder, as you just go sideways in pretty much the same direction.
Love it! Thanks so much! The only thing I struggle with is knowing where in the sector the shops and stuff are. I have been going to a location in a sector (named white dot) and then writing down what is there (e.g. shop, repair, etc). Then going to the next one and doing it until the sector is mapped out. Is there an easier way?
What I do is run 4, it's definitely better. Than alternate them on replacement so when you are replacing 2 at 0% the other 2 are at 50%. That way you still always have 2 over 50% and you'll stay good
On the Air Filter screen, it'll show how much O2 you have and how much you are producing vs consuming. When you are consuming more than you are producing, it's time to think about switching out your worse filters, and you have until your O2 runs out to do it. Also do NOT use the Air Brakes unless absolutely necessary as it uses the O2.
If you don't wanna play a "Battery Changer Simulator" on normal mode, just make a custom game and tweak power consumption and consumables down to low, everything else can stay exactly the same. This is what I've done and the game is much more enjoyable now. Also having FOV all the way up to 80 might be a bad idea, as is a lot harder to spot debris.
That's also an option. I like to try and tackle problems and come up with solutions before i change settings. As for the FOV, I use the 'Z' button to look for debris and still get my wider view for cross traffic. ill gladly hit a debris over another driver haha

@@joshinspace3903 right click on PC, left face button on consoles (I think). There is a hint for that on the bottom of the screen when in the shop
That's a great one I forgot. It comes in clutch. I just wish we could put them in the containers from the menu also ha
That is genius
I feel smart figuring that out by myself
Tip number....which ever, Turning on your radio increases the cool factor of your trucking experience.
I agree! I kept it off for the tutorial lol. try playing the cowboy bepop soundtrack on your next haul and tell me what you think.

I suffer so you don't have to lol. Stick around with us
Keeping you mag and your suit off has no effect unless your towing something, and if the suit is fully charged it doesn't drain the battery or the ucc

I wish we could take multiple jobs at once when we unlock multiple trailers.... got super bummed when i couldnt hook up two loads i took.
Haha I think we all did. I must have spent half an hour trying to back up and figure out how to attach the 2 jobs together.
I was really disappointed too, others said that backing up to it with a traielr would be a night mare ... id think youd backup ... somehow ... then go outside a,d use somekind of a winch to pull second - 3rd trailer to range and --- somehow --- manualy attach more trailers ... is how i wish it would work - getting outside .. and doing the work.
That crate locking tip is a game changer!
Thanks bro it's been a whole new world

That's a great suggestion I'll work on it!
Wow, all i needed to know is on this video thnks im subscribing and starting all over 😂 not doing good so far..
Haha watch my livestream ep 1 I ended up like 20k in the negative and restarted. Thanks for the sub.
That zoom in tip is great. Also mildly embarrassed that I didn't even think to try that when I looked at the map. :D
If I'm being honest it took too long to figure out
solid advice, keep on truckin my dude
See you out there space cowboy!

These are awesome! I didn't even thing to stairs up. You a genius. I'll add it in the next video!
Twice now, I’ve been doing a contract, and had to wait over an hour IRL to be within the drop off time frame🥲

I guess this could be used on long open stretches. Seems dangerous to lose that reaction time. I'll have to do some testing and try it!

Yes on the map zoom in all the way and it will give you a legend of what's in each sector
tip keep load of jerry cans you can use them refuel your truck if not near gas station.
That's a good one!
Got any tips on air filters? Still trying to get my head around their math, is it best to keep all four slots filled? When should you remove one? etc.
What I do is run 4, it's definitely better. Than alternate them on replacement so when you are replacing 2 at 0% the other 2 are at 50%. That way you still always have 2 over 50% and you'll stay good

Good tips, keep it up.
Thanks man I will!

Just got to use that noggin my bro!
Good vid boon thx for the tip
No problem bro!
Thanks these are awesome!
Glad you like them!
Boon, Can I be your running mate when you run for president?
Approved
I find the controls on controller very heavy
In what way?
How do you get the drain percentage?
Nevermind. I was hooked up to a dock. Just discovered that you don't lose power when connected to a dock. It'll say external power connected.
That's actually a good thing to know!
im embarrassed to say don't know how port jump after the lights on
On the ceiling pull the lever!
1:59 Can't you pull up the stairs itself?
Yes! It's still kinda open though. I like to crate lock cause it keeps my stuff organized so it's easy to find and grab
2:25 умно 👍
Thanks bro!
I'm a little tempted to get this game I have to admit :P
It's on game pass if you happen to have it, it's pretty addictive
Im downloading it now
400th like
Yo my boy!
My Oxygen drains at 98%, any idea what is making yours lower at just 66%?
Do you have all four air filters
@@Boon-N-Bros Yup, have all 4; no clue why they're different.
@@Boon-N-Bros I do indeed.
Does the game have flight stick support ?
It does not.
I mean... do you reeeeally need oxygen tho?
Haha I'm working on it!
bro you are a genius
Awww shucks... :D
First.
