Its a fun base building and mining game. The story gets a bit fast passed early on, and if you don't take the time early to build up your economy and power then you will be seriously lacking later on just before the mid game. I'm still getting used to the game, but those that have played other mining factory games would probably have no issues. All in all, I enjoy the game, the story is interesting. Cant wait till they can voice all the characters and continue to voice them even after you pause the game play so you can place new building items. A queue system to build new machines would be nice, to allow you for future expansion but not devote the resources to it yet.

Mixed feelings about this game. It has some crazy potential, but the execution at this stage is so rough I would not recommend it. The progression system does not flow well at all, and there's immense pressure to scale and rush tech, when it seems like this game is meant to be more chill.
Too many of the early game contracts are not fullfillable. Specially the urgent ones
The resource nodes run out too fast
Underground conveyors should be unlocked from the start
The sliders for loading items into the pods should have a fill to max instead of having to fidget with the slider
Buildings are not movable, which makes repositioning stuff require dismantling
Having to scroll to buy science from the three types is a pain
To many systems are locked behind too many researches, which puts you into a mode of rushing scaling and tech. Just getting the 3 primary resources steel, silicon and bricks going at a stable rate creates a frantic rush in the very beginning, and the pressure doesn't let up from there.
I really, truly like the premise of this game and it looks like it has so much potential. But, the execution of critical game systems and progression flow is so disjointed I just cannot recommend this game. I'll be keeping my eye on it.

Great factory building game mixed with economy simulation, lunar exploration and events handling. There are some minor bugs here and there, but nothing that breaks the game. As a space and automation enjoyer, this game is a must have especially that in the future more content will be available.

The Crust is a game that immediately catches on with its atmosphere. When I started playing, I was amazed at how well the post-apocalyptic setting was conveyed. Minimalistic graphics create a unique visual style that helps you focus on the details and immerse yourself in the world of the game.
The gameplay is interesting and varied. I liked how the elements of survival and exploration are balanced. Tasks add dynamics and goals without seeming boring or
monotonous. The controls are intuitive, which makes the game comfortable.
The plot develops gradually, and it keeps you in suspense. Dialogues, notes, and other elements of the world reveal the story, creating a sense of depth. I like that the world of the game seems alive and full of mysteries, I want to explore it and learn more.
The soundtrack and music perfectly complement the atmosphere. Ambient sounds and effects create a sense of presence, while music highlights tense moments.
In general, The Crust is a great game for fans of post- apocalyptic worlds and survival games. If you like this genre, definitely worth a try!

Just started playing again after a year or so and am pleasantly surprised to see how many bugs they've fixed. Seems to me like they're serious with actually creating this game.
It's a very fun and addictive game to play. Music is great too of all things.
Graphics are great albeit some reports of lag with larger factories....Just like Factorio.
Early access... always a risk. Always depends on the publishers.
Can't remember what I paid $25.00 or $30.00
For me I've certainly already got my monies worth out of this game and Crytivo could fold tomorrow and I'ld still be happy with it.
The good news is they've fixed several major bugs from whence I last played and reported last year.
The drone response has become way better and my understanding of the game has improved.
Also the graphics seems to be way better, more detailed.
I've only had one bug so far and that was on a save. I accidently hit "Continue" while it was still saving resulting in a corrupt save file. Save always, save frequent. Especially in an early access game.
I've read people reporting bugs in the later game. Usually involving scientists dying. They're still ironing that out I guess. Once that's done they'll probably start working on combat. It's nice because they're making quality of game play better before moving on to adding new features.
I do seem to remember that's how your supposed do it.
It's a very deep game that can be a bit frustrating during the, "Learning Curve" but very rewarding once you figure it out. YouTube helps but things keep changing so best to find recent videos. And always remember to mouse over all icons. Found the best tool-tips when I do that. Always listen to the guidance of the characters that pop up on screen. There's often more information there than you realize.
Ok Director that's it. Now it's time for you to decide how important the moon is anyway.
Cheers!

Game concept is amazing, but you can expect to have your save files stop working as your base and productions get larger. I could never suggest this game until that has been dealt with.

Story mode jumps from "Send 200 of this stuff whenever you get around to it" to "Here's a 7 part timed quest and you lose the game if you fail" with no warning whatsoever.
