The Crust’s update 1.1 is available free to owners on Steam. It adds a Quantum CPU designed to save space in advanced bases and a button for reversing conveyors, as well as performance improvements for large bases.

In VEOM Studio’s game, players mine lunar resources and automate production. The new CPU reduces the need to build many CPU modules later in the game. A button can reverse a conveyor chain as long as neither end is restricted to input only or output only. The update also adds larger gas storage and lets players assign a colonist to a specific bed, keeping living quarters close to work.

The studio shared results from four player saves it tested: in one, the frame rate rose from 9–10 to 23–31 frames per second. That result applies to that save under the studio’s test conditions.

VEOM says players can keep using saves from version 1.0 and the public beta. Players on the beta branch can return to the default version through Properties, then Betas, and select None.
