Star Trucker Mods

A Complete Guide to Star Trucker Mods: Enhancing Your Space Trucking Adventure

Star Trucker mods offer an exciting way to enhance your intergalactic hauling experience. Whether you fancy customising your radio experience or tweaking your field of view, the modding community has already created several fascinating additions to this space-faring adventure.

Essential Prerequisites

Before diving into the world of StarTrucker mods, you’ll need to install MelonLoader, the universal mod loader for Unity-based games. This serves as the foundation for all current Star Trucker mods. Installation is straightforward through the MelonLoader installer, though GamePass users should note they need to select ‘gamelauncherhelper.exe’ rather than the main executable.

Popular Star Trucker Mods

CustomRadio

Transform your journey through space with your personal soundtrack. This brilliant mod allows you to replace the default Gold Rock Radio with your own carefully curated playlist. Notable features include:

• Support for most audio formats through CSCore integration
• Automatic metadata display for song titles and artists
• Configurable station names and frequencies
• Optional retention of original advertisements and station idents

Custom Field of View

For pilots who prefer a different perspective on their space trucking adventures, this mod allows you to adjust the field of view beyond the game’s default limitations. It’s particularly useful for multi-monitor setups or those who experience motion sickness with the standard FOV settings.

Serial Interface

Perhaps the most ambitious mod currently available, the Serial Interface enables external hardware integration with Star Trucker. This opens up possibilities for custom control panels and auxiliary displays using Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi hardware.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

When modding Star Trucker, you might encounter a few common hurdles:

• Media Foundation errors typically indicate a missing Windows component. Enable the ‘media feature pack’ in your system settings to resolve this.
• The CustomRadio mod requires at least 10 tracks to function properly – a limitation from the base game’s radio system.
• Currently, most mods are Windows-only, though the community welcomes contributions for other platforms.
