Hello Crusties,
We have worked on your feedback and brought new update.
In this version, we have expanded the number of outputs for regolith in the Cargo Dock, increasing its maximum throughput capacity by 4 times. Soon, we will add the ability to build multiple Cargo Docks and Exedition Centers.
This update also fixes several bugs, including the save menu issue, introduces several QoL improvements that have been actively discussed, and brings many balance changes. The campaign with the construction of the laser cannon is now smoother and more predictable.
It looks like we have managed to fix a major issue that caused crashes when saving large bases. To solve it, we had to make significant changes to the save architecture, so this version is still under testing and will be available by default soon.
Also today, we updated The Crust Soundtrack by adding 7 new tracks, including a new one that is not yet in the game. We are starting to send keys to all Kickstarter backers who have the Digital Soundtracks reward.
