Explore an open galaxy as a lonely TAXINAUT carrying fares across alien worlds. Descent onto planets and fly over alien cities and landscapes. Land at bars, diners, garages and many other common and exotic locations. Interact with the locals to ask for directions or learn about the many esoteric and sinister aspects of the Kyprei-41 galaxy. Experience a variety of items and effects like food, equipment, weapons, damages, repairs, injuries, diseases, cures, mental states, permits, memberships, etc.
Your search for "Birdie" will take you into a dark world of exploitation and cloning, and maybe give some insight into the nature of VUDU (the galaxy's currency, energy and life-force), cycling (the act of dying and being reborn) and the Nexus (an ancient network of places where VUDU can be stored and people are reborn).
Improve your clone by using "Gongs". Buy different ships and add mods to them. Rent or buy a home and find sources for items so you can buy them at your home.
This doesn't add anything new to the game but there are now startup scripts in the installation-directory that should make it possible to run TAXINAUT on any platform (e.g. Linux or Mac) with Java >= 17 installed. See for more information:

Running TAXINAUT like this on Linux (instead of using Proton) should give better performance (it does on my Linux laptop). I don't have a Steam Deck so I don't know if it's possible to install Java on there and start TAXINAUT that way; but if that's possible it might also improve performance on the Steam Deck.
Note that this doesn't make Linux or Mac officially supported (but it should run fine).
