Supporter Pack and Artemis Edition are now live!

Hello everyone!
From time to time, we receive messages and emails from you asking us to support the development of The Crust. Some of you ask about Patreon or whether we’ll launch another Kickstarter campaign.

We don’t plan on holding large-scale fundraisers of this kind. However, we still want to offer something extra for those who wish to support a high-quality 1.0 release and the game’s continued development. That’s why we’ve decided to release a Supporter Pack.

The “Supporter Pack” is not required to complete The Crust; it includes one new module, as well as cosmetic and non-game items such as the artbook and wallpapers. However, we hope these bonus items will bring a lot of joy to The Crust’s most dedicated fans.

We’ve also put together the long-awaited The Crust: Artemis Edition bundle, which includes the base game The Crust, the Supporter Pack, and the original Complete Soundtrack Pack - adding 10 new tracks to the game and granting access to all of our composers’ tracks in high quality - with an additional 20% discount:

Please note: If you previously backed the game on Kickstarter at a qualifying tier, we have already sent you a Steam key for the Supporter Pack via email and through your Kickstarter messages.

Thank you for all your support, feedback, and ideas - it really means a lot to us and helps us continue to make The Crust even better 🚀

Trucks,cargo ports and MDR question

Been playing this game on and off on various updates and i came back now after the big fps update (one of the reasons i stopped in the past).

I am curious if the game allows you to specify the trucks that will offload regolith from MDRs to specific cargo ports or they just drop it in whichever they find available.

For example track A will head to MDR 1 that mines regoltih with iron dust, so track A will offload cargo on cargo port named IRON DUST specifically and not in other ports,and so on for the rest.

Unless i am mistaken the veins underground will eventually run out (or they wont be many to support production for a single material e.g. titanium dust or aluminum, in comparison with iron and silicon) so the game pushes you to use MDRs and outsource mining regolith of specific dust ( or more than one if possible) on the map and transfer it back to base.

My problem is that if i have several MDRs mining different regolith dusts and they all end up offloading in the same ports, the regolith will get mixed. I am afraid that this will lead to uneven production if they all feed to the same multi regolith refineries.

How do you all approach this? Do you just scale up multi refineries and hope it will burn the regolith stored in the ports before the new loads arrive? what if a single dust line gets clogged before i managed to sell off excess production?

i feel it will devolve into a cat and mouse game to make sure you keep selling excess so your production wont get clogged.

Am i missing something here?
