    Balance and QoL Update

    Hello, community!Over the past month, we've released a number of hotfixes, addressing plenty of current bugs. However, beyond the fixes, we've also introduced many useful new features that we believe you'll find interesting. With so many brief bullet points in the patch notes, it's easy to overlook something important, so in this article we'd like to go over everything in more detail. And at the end, we'll share specifics about the balance adjustments arriving in this update. Base boosts in the Tech Center The Tech Center has received its core functionality: the ability to purchase temporary boosts for your base. These affect all key aspects of the game - production, logistics, and personnel. For instance, you can buy a boost that increases power output, allowing you to set aside energy concerns for a while and focus on higher priorities. Just don't forget to scale up your power infra...

    Big FPS and QoL Update

    Hello, community!We’re happy to announce the release of a new Big FPS & QoL Update! In this one, we focused on optimization and also introduced several useful new features. Let’s go through them one by one.OptimizationIn this update, the conveyor systems have undergone significant changes. We have optimized the way resources are displayed in warehouses and on conveyors, and we have implemented a system for automatically merging and splitting conveyor sections, resulting in a significant increase in FPS—on average, approximately double that of the previous version. The exact increase in FPS depends on your device's specifications. Module namingWe’ve added the ability to assign names to modules. This makes it easier to manage capsule and rocket dispatches for contracts - simply select the appropriate Flight Control Center or Launch Station when sending resources. Flight Control Center b...

    Dev Diary #24: Major Update - New Horizons

    {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41126789/3084c9c47a7d198b1e0fe38993f072815670e860.jpg Hello community!!! The development fields of The Crust are bustling with work, and we're already preparing for the release of New Horizons. This massive update will bring new mechanics, new modules, a second story chapter, fresh music tracks and a bunch of handy QoL improvements to the game. Let's break down what's in store for you! Story Chapter II At the moment, the final point of the story can be considered the building of the laser cannon and saving the Earth - but it was a temporary plug with increased difficulty. Now, however, the story will continue, and it's up to you to figure out what really happened during the Explosion on the backside of the moon. Spoiler (but not really): the research will lead you to a new fusion technology based on Helium-3, which will open up new possibilities in the research tree...
