Hello Crusties,

Today we are publishing v0.92.75 update, which includes many bug fixes as well as an experimental expansion of the colonist management functionality. You can now balance the mode of each colonist to get the most out of your production and research base.



[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a bug with robots getting stuck when demolishing a resource elevator
  
• Fixed indoor navigation errors, so colonists no longer get stuck on their way to some modules
  
• Fixed game freezing in some situations when there are no free cells in the rooms
  
• Fixed a crash when loading equipment factories with resources
  
• Fixed problems with robot priorities when working with warehouses after loading saves
  
• The priorities of robots in relation to the expedition center have been corrected; now robots correctly perform other tasks during the construction of the expedition center and loading expeditions

• Minor changes to contracts
  
• Minor edits in some interfaces and texts
  
• Fixed demolition of the conveyor elevator in hologram mode
  
• Drastically increased wall building priority (WIP)
  
• Fixed colonist status in the laboratory

• Fixed situations when the repair button did not disappear after it was clicked.
  
• Fixed the display of repair resources in the tooltip
  
• A few minor UI corrections
  

[h2]Balance[/h2]

• Balance of the cost of the expedition center
  
• Kitchen production balance
  
• A new mechanism for reducing the parameters of colonists, now the reduction is non-linear.
  
• The balance has been changed, now the colonists work more and idle less.
  
• Increased capacity of the multi-resource warehouse
  
• Some colonist professions under development are closed with a corresponding overlay

• Added grouping of numbers to credits
  
• The research map is now completely open, all research displays full information about itself
  
• Added video tutorials on manual and automated unloading of a mobile drilling rig
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fix for older saves where Private lab disappeared
  
• Colonists now eat and sleep correctly
  
• Fixed colonist getting stuck when moving to some modules
  
• Fixed visual issues in tooltips for water/oxygen/batteries
  
• Adjusted conveyor building mode placement
  

[h2]Balance changes[/h2]

• Adjusted balance of colonist stats depletion
  
• Adjusted weight of expensive resources
  
• Adjusted prices of cargo capsules
  
• Adjusted balance of different market characteristics

Hey Crusties!

We're continually working to improve your experience. Check out what's new in version 92.59:

Fixed:
- Some save-load game crashes, related to Vehicle Workshops bug, that was causing the crash.

Later!

P.S. It might says 58 version, do not pay attention to it.

Okay so recently released early access base-building factory building game The Crust is set on the moon, where your job is to take little autonomous drones and have them rebuild spacefaring society in the wake of a tremendous natural disaster that wrecks almost all the other infrastructure on the moon. A big part of that, naturally, is moon rocks. You grind those up and turn them into the kinds of stuff you'd need from rocks you mined on the moon: Steel, silicon, titanium, aluminum. You automate up a manufacturing base with fabricators and assemblers and all the other obvious and expected trappings of the factory building genre...
