Build and automate a lunar colony that Earth depends on. Mine regolith, run conveyor-and-drone factories above and below the surface, manage colonists, trade with rival Earth factions — and play a story campaign with multiple endings.

Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

The Crust ist ein Aufbau- und Managementspiel mit Fokus auf eine Mondkolonie – und genau das macht es interessant. Du steuerst ein Unternehmen, das auf dem Mond Ressourcen abbaut und verarbeitet. Dabei geht es nicht nur um simples „Bauen“, sondern um ein relativ tiefes System aus: Automatisierung (Förderbänder, Drohnen, Produktionsketten) Ressourcenmanagement (Energie, Rohstoffe, Versorgung) Wirtschaft (Handel mit der Erde, Verträge, Expansion) Technologieentwicklung (Upgrades, effizientere Abläufe) Was das Spiel stark macht, ist die Mischung aus: ruhigem Aufbau-Gameplay strategischen Entscheidungen und dieser leicht „realistischen“ Sci-Fi-Atmosphäre Es fühlt sich ein bisschen an wie eine Kombination aus Factorio und einer Wirtschaftssimulation im Weltraum – nur entschleunigter und visueller.
Game contains AI generated content without disclosure that does not become clear until after several hours (this includes art but I also suspect much of the dialogue is AI generated). Had it been disclosed (which it should have been) I would not have purchased it.

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.

I wanted to love it, but the narrator would not be quiet with all sorts of silly dialogue. I can figure out what to do, let me do it.
Скурпулезно выстраиваешь логистику. Часто сохраняешься (потому что автосохранения не работают в основном почему-то). Решаешь сохранить прогресс и игра вылетает и сейв поврежден. Самую сложную часть завода заного....иди те ка в П**ДУ пока не отполируете. Советую рефанд пока не доделали
Absolutely haunting. Gorgeous. The composers knocked it out of the park. Oh, and there's a game attached to the soundtrack, I guess, which I thought was going to be a pure automator but which turned out to have a capitalism module strapped to it. Very disappointing. Also the English translation is mediocre at best and at times downright terrible. Buy the soundtrack. Give the game a miss.
总的来说还是好玩的，但采矿必须九格才能放下矿机然后矿点大小又经常不够两个九格真是太蠢了 ______ 打到后期总结——“快跑！” 结局需要的物资庞大到离谱，完全就是指数级的，拖得天长地久。 卖货完全得手动，缺少一个和远征基地以及自动停机坪联动的仓库，无限卡传送带。 后续升级的配方消耗不但没优化反而负提升，费尽心思弄半天结果还不如保持原本的生产线。
The Crust — это игра для тех, кто любит сложные, многогранные симуляторы, где успех — это результат продуманной стратегии, оптимизации и внимания к деталям. Она не пытается быть простой и дружелюбной к каждому, но щедро вознаграждает тех, кто готов разбираться в механиках и искать лучшие решения. 400 часов — это серьёзный срок, и если ты остался доволен, значит, игра смогла предложить достаточно глубины и вариативности, чтобы не наскучить.
The first play through has been a bit rough simply because of not knowing what researches will come up as the campaign progresses, but that's a me issue not a game issue. The game overall has been a blast pushing production to its limits and getting to a point where its less just make it work for now to making builds future proof have been great! Only complaint I have is that there is no copy and paste feature at least between machines would be helpful when setting up new production sites for parts or simple smelting.
Improvements have been made, however not enough. A lot of things are unbalanced and half the endgame feels pointless. Perfomance has improved a lot, I will give them that. Will wait until 1.0 to see if I change this review, for now is not worth it
