The Crust

Update 3 is Here! Ai Drones 2.0, Super Priority, Auto FCC, New Modules and more! Hello u/everyone! We’re excited to announce that Update 3 is finally here! Automate the loading of contracts and shipments, process slag, plant capsules on the FCC, and fully automate the buying and selling of resources. Build smelters and scale up production right at your outposts. Use the industrial kitchen and underground warehouse to optimize your production. store.steampowered.com/news/app/14654…

Hey guys! The upcoming update will introduce a handy new feature: the Transport menu. There you can see all your vehicles along with their current status, tasks, arrival times, and cargo. The Transport menu also lets you jump directly to any vehicle on the map. Check out the video below!

Hey everyone! In addition to the overall improvements to the surface map, we will also refine drone movement. Drones will have more space to move freely, which should help prevent them from getting stuck. We will also fix a visual bug where drones would sometimes move through uneven terrain instead of properly following the surface. Thanks to the increased space for movement, drones will no longer need to go around the large hill on the surface of the base - they will be able to pass through the low pass between the two larger hills. You can see this in the attached video.

Hey guys! While we’re working on the next update, we’d like to share a preview of what’s coming. The surface map of your base is getting an upgrade - there will be more space to build! To make construction more intuitive, we’ll also be adding a grid so you’ll be able to see exactly where modules can be placed.

@BigImpactHumans Dude, we already have a strategy for colonizing the moon. Here's how it's going to work: store.steampowered.com/app/1465470/Th…

Elon was talking about a Moon base and Moon City back in 2020

We're excited to announce the release of the Major Update 2 for The Crust store.steampowered.com/news/app/14654… Learn more about the new gas system, auto trading, colonist upgrades, interplanetary flights, and other innovations in this video and news article.

Hey guys! In the upcoming update, colonists will be able to use fitness equipment, which will not only help them stay in shape but also give them a boost to their learning speed. This buff will help colonists absorb new information and skills faster. A sound mind in a sound body!

Hello everyone! Many players have been asking, “How can I assign a colonist to a module?” or “Why isn’t this feature in the game yet?” Your wishes have been heard, and we’re glad to announce that in the upcoming update you’ll be able to manually assign colonists to specific modules! It’s a small change that will give you much more control over your colonists - something many of you have been waiting for!

Hey guys! In the upcoming update, colonists will prefer bedrooms and lounges that are separated from production areas. They will also claim their own bed, and if a colonist leaves on an expedition or goes to an outpost, their claimed bed will become available for others to use.

Hello everyone! The upcoming update will introduce a new research option that enables colonists to automatically use hoverboards outside the living area. This will significantly increase their movement speed and reduce the amount of oxygen they consume on their way to the workplaces!

Hey guys! The upcoming update will introduce the Monitoring and Statistics window! It will give you the most complete picture of your base to date - with detailed charts for credits, resources, buildings, CPU, transport, and total base value. Statistics fans might spend a lot of time here!

Hello everyone! The upcoming update will introduce a new mode for the Flight Control Center - Auto-Trade. This mode allows you to automate the sale of resources. The success rate of each deal depends on the price, the volume of your offer, and your global reputation. You'll be able to set the amount of resources you want to sell, the price, the amount of cycles, and a minimum activation threshold for your offer. After that, your offer will be listed on the market to search for a buyer. If the offer is competitive, a buyer's capsule will land at the Flight Control Center to collect the resources.

Hey guys! Want to try a different kind of start, or just running low on Credits? In the upcoming update, you’ll be able to take out a bank loan with monthly payments. Its interest rate and term will depend on your global reputation. This feature will let you speed up your early game by choosing a strategy that includes purchasing modules and keeping a close eye on market prices.

Hello everyone! It’s a small change, but one you’ll definitely notice - modules that need repairs will have highlighted borders, making them easier to spot among the others.

@ajfassociates Hello! Could you please describe the issues you’ve encountered? Let’s keep the discussion constructive though - the game is still in early access and needs polishing, but being rude won’t help make it better.

@TheCrustGame Your buggy and unstable piece of crap game shows you don't know what you're doing. It's been over a year and drones and buildings still are broken as well as most features. So PATHETIC!

Hey guys! The upcoming update will introduce a new module: the Telescope! It’s a lunar infrared observatory that allows for detailed study of distant objects in the Milky Way and serves as a large laboratory where colonists can help generate all three types of Science Points. Later, it will also be required to access major interplanetary contracts and to progress through certain stages of the story.

@Diman_N7 Привет! Вероятнее всего да, потребуется начать заново, чтобы новые механики корректно работали. Что касается улучшения оптимизации, сейчас "тяжелее" всего колонисты. Мы ведем над ними активную работу и прикладываем все усилия, чтобы улучшить их оптимизацию

@TheCrustGame Здравствуйте, как понимаю после патча игру лучше начать заново? И будут ли улучшения fps при большой базе?

Hello everyone! The upcoming update will introduce an improved visual design for Priority Mode! When entered, all modules with high or low priority will clearly display their status. Hovering your cursor over a module or resources lying on the floor will show their current priority - and how it will change after you click. A very handy tool when you need to adjust priorities for multiple modules or "gently ask" your precious drones to pick something up from the floor as soon as possible!
