> PIPELINE SUMMARY CONNECTED...

The Crust is a polarizing lunar tycoon sim that has the community split between praising its unique contract-based economy and review-bombing its brutal onboarding and late-game performance. Positive reviewers are mainlining copium over the 'moon actually feels like a place' aesthetic and the dopamine hit of signing supply contracts, while negative reviewers are raging about game-breaking bugs, a tech tree that requires a PhD in patience, and drones that are dumber than the regolith they carry. The devs are actively patching, but the community is stuck in a loop of 'wait for 1.0' versus 'I already paid for this' with a side of AI-generated asset drama.
