v1.0 Released

Released 2026-09-10 · source: Steam announcement

Full release of The Crust. Adds Planning Mode, the road system, an online leaderboard, the completed story campaign, Sandbox 2.0, four new Sandbox maps, the macOS and Linux ports, Turkish localisation, and a rewritten logistics system that the developer says runs large bases up to about 50 percent faster. Note: 1.0 is not save-compatible with Early Access builds.

What this page does not include

  • Early Access patch notes. This changelog starts at the 1.0 release because earlier EA patch posts are short and overlap with wiki history. The community wiki on wiki.gg retains a copy of the EA changelog history.
  • Hotfix builds (1.0.x). Minor post-1.0 patches do not always get their own news feed entry. Check the Steam community hub for the latest hotfix notes.
  • Player-facing changelog from a non-Steam source. If a future patch is announced on Discord or the developer's blog first, this page records it only after a Steam post exists. This avoids paraphrasing changes that may be revised before the official post.
