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.

Seems to be incomplete or just broken, not sure if it's bugged or just unfinished. Total waste of time trying to play it in current state.
что за ИИшная озвучка???

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 2,419 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.

This game is fantastic, part logistics, part factory management, part business management, part economic sim, mixed with a whole lot of sci-fi goodness. Its a slow burn and the music is top notch to boot.
Cant really recommend this. -Ai Generated text and characters are eyesore. -Underground excavation is just dig everything. You can just hollow out the whole base with 5 drones eventually without any need for supports for ceilings or tactics. -Similiar useles tier systems for conveyors. Not really needed since could be just an upgrade, lots of games to this and its annoying. -Trading system is fun for a while until you can just spam most easy resources since they never seems to fall unprofitable. you always make a profit even if that profit goes down for a while. -Sandbox mode lets you build a colony without people. just spam robots. factories say that they need workers but still they will work with 20% efeciency....So why invest on expensive humans at all? -Storymode is there...and not very engaging since its just "you need to build your base like this" and thats not interresting in bulding games for me. So this needs a lot more work in order to be something like surviving mars. ANd devs need to get rid of the GenAi junk!
I bought it for the story, but I stayed for the factories. Music is great, and the performance is finally up to par.
以为是悠哉的模拟经营游戏，没想到被陨石偷了家
it's neat but the devs are clearly in love with doomed tech like crypto, AI and the quotes by jeffreys friends dont sit right with me
As far as I have been able to determine, the game is NOT supported on Steamdeck in any meaningful way. This is a hard fail for me.
The Crust is a surprisingly engaging mix of factory builder and colony management set on the Moon, with a solid focus on automation and logistics. It is definitely worth a try.
A very interesting strategy game where you build a huge space industry. I'm hooked. And I'll continue to be hooked because the game is so cool. My rating is 100/10.
