Reviews
The game in its current form is extremely tedious. A lot of manual intervention and tinkering is required to make the finicky systems work properly. The slightest unbalance in outputs and inputs breaks everything, and eventually, you have so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slag in storage, everything stops entirely. Contracts require so damned much resources and give so little cash, while all the modules cost way too much. Also, there are several contracts that require your trucks to travel literally to the other side of the moon, which takes months in game, but the contracts on the other side of the moon to deliver supplies expire sooner than that. Conveyer belts COST MONEY. You can't build conveyer belts yourself, you have to buy them. Money is the most limiting factor in the entire game, and it's so damned limited that expanding production is just impossible.

Latest in each market: best AU #49, worst UK #90 · 6 markets collected
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Уникальный взгляд на данный жанр, а также большое количество контента. Ну и отдельная похвала за музыку, очень атмосферно.
Pretty much echoing everyone else here. It's a solid game, lots of promise, a real time sink. However I'm at 500+ hours now and still yet to get too far as I'll encounter a bug which breaks my game and as I tend to play with a single save, when it happens, I'm done. Devs to their credit are working hard to fix these things as they occur but I've had to give up for now. Will return for the stable version, advised anyone else hold out for when it's stable too.
Игра интересная .НО. Очень много ошибок. Ракеты виснут практически сразу. Грузовой док иногда виснет. Закрывая один конвеерный выход иногда закрываются все. Компания заканчивается когда ты еще не изучил и 20% технологий. После уже нет смысла в игре, только копить ресурсы. Расширять базу можно бесконечно строя сервера, из за этого игра тормозит, пинг ужасный. Еще один глупый момент, построил взлетную площадку для ракет, построил ракету, и почему то платишь 260 000 каждый раз когда отправляешь ее в полет, тупо не окупает сделки.
Junge Junge, je näher die 1.0 rückt umso schlechter wird das Game, einfach nur noch peinlich:/
**The Crust** is that kind of game where you feel smart, important, and just a little bit overwhelmed with responsibility 😄 The Moon, logistics, resources, and a brain working at 120%. It’s highly addictive: you just wanted to build one module, and suddenly a few hours pass and you’re running an entire lunar corporation. The interface is clear, the atmosphere is truly cosmic, and the sense of progress feels great. A perfect choice for strategy fans who don’t mind using their brain. Highly recommended 🚀
Your so limited to what you can research and build that it takes FOREVER to do much of anything...
Was für ein geiles Game. Ich habe nichts erwartet und (bis jetzt) 26 Stunden Spielspaß gehabt. Die Grafik ist cool und das Setting auf dem Mond mal was anderes. Ich finde das Management gut und es ist ein bisschen wie Anno im Weltall bloß das man zusätzlich noch Fließbänder für die Produktion etc. bauen kann um genauer ins Geschehen einzugreifen. Ich sehe mich jetzt schon im nächsten Anlauf, da ich von Beginn an einige Sachen anders machen würde (mit dem Kenntnisstand von jetzt). Was ein kleines bisschen nervt sind "Missionen" die man bekommt und zeitlich begrenzt sind. Hier weiß ich noch nicht, ob man alle schaffen kann /soll oder ob die einfach nur Dynamik und Storyprogress bringen. Kurz zusammengefasst: Eine Mischung aus Anno, Factorio und einer tollen dystopischen Geschichte um den Mond. 8,5/ 10. Tolles Game!!! Die oft genannten FPS Probleme hatte ich auf Ultra- Settings gar nicht. Prozessor :AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor (3.40 GHz) Installierter RAM: 32,0 GB GraKa: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
A game with active development and great potential, however, I would not recommend this game at current state. The biggest issue is that, it seems like the quests are time gated (E.g., saving the survivors), however, as a base management game, I would prefer to have a difficulty that 1. Equipment will never break. 2. Story is progressed by triggers (finishing previous quests) rather than time gated. Power pole is very tedious too. There is no way of moving them other than dismantle them and reconnecting other power poles and machines. It is just not needed for a factory game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for your feedback from dev. I understand you do want to keep its timed constraint because people are running out of oxygen, however, it is not a good practice because this is a game. It is okay to add a hardcore difficulty to make it harsh for experienced player, but most players are new, they do not know what to expect and do not know everything is timed. It is tedious to restart the entire run (especially without a good blueprint system) over and over again. Do not force a timed quest on lower difficulties would be more healthy to the game itself.
Great game! If your looking for a hardcore factory game, you might be disappointed. The trick though, this game is something different, mixing a blend of Factorio or Satisfactory with exploration similar to something like Surviving the Aftermath. Mix in an element of survival and RPG and you have a game unique within the genre. It's a refreshing take on the genre and I've enjoyed it so far while feeling I've only touched the surface after 8 hours. Easily worth the cost and one to consider if you like games such as Oxygen Not Included or Factory building.
