The Crust - News - Update 0.96 - Expanding and balancing the story campaign

Added

Visualization of transport construction has been added and configured: the hologram now dynamically displays construction progress.
Added sounds for purchasing and selling resources.
Replaced some sounds.
Changes in the names of construction menu categories.
Localization updated.

The events of “Hope-2” now occur later, allowing for an early-stage development of the production base. Several intermediate tasks were added.
Increased part requirements for repairing the storyline truck.
Balanced science points awarded for completing storyline quests.
Added delays for the appearance of some side quests after researching the storyline repeater (“Lost Convoy,” “Hope Wreckage,” “Searching for Survivors”).
The market trade tutorial quest starts earlier.
Adjusted conditions for starting the “Strategic Planning” (Charity) contract: players now have more time to prepare for the next major task (requires completing the “Hope-2” storyline and researching the Assembler and Multi-Regolith Refinery).

Fixed errors in creating points of interest at the orbital level that caused issues with expeditions and quest task completions.
Fixed a market error where the cost of orders with drones was deducted twice.
Prices no longer increase when selling large quantities of the same goods; instead, they decrease.
Corrected MDR behavior when starting movement in the crater.
Fixed an error where oxygen did not appear in reconstructed rooms.
Addressed a rare situation where science points were incorrectly awarded after completing a geoscan.
Fixed a situation where idle transport in the crater was unavailable for assignment in the expedition interface.
At the beginning of the storyline, a notification about insufficient energy allowed movement to the underground level. It no longer appears until the elevator is repaired.
Restored the sound of idle science points.
Fixed a bug with infinite science points granted after completing one of the side quests.
Resolved a rare situation where a dialogue in a side quest was skipped automatically with sound turned off.
The POI “Meteorite” is now researched correctly.

Increased minimum and maximum resource vein generation limits by 6-14%.
Increased inflation of science point costs in CRUST Solutions as the research map progresses.
Added new contracts for slag delivery.
Increased rover speed in a discharged state from 0.05 -> 0.125.
Adjustments to the costs of various research (e.g., the Rolling Mill no longer requires Fundamental Science Points, and the Assembler is cheaper).
Reduced hunger rate of colonists working on jobs by 7%.
Added fuel to some ruins.
Reduced cargo capacity of small capsules from 5400 -> 4600.
Increased flight time for regular capsules from 40 -> 44.
Increased required resources for repairing the quest MDR.
Balanced resources in the POI “Aerodynamics Lab.”
Reduced science point rewards for studying the first quest POI “Lost Convoy.”
- MDR is now less efficient; the base regolith mining speed has been reduced.
- Added one more research option to improve MDR regolith mining speed.
- Some modules now require more silicon for construction: Expedition Center, Multi-Regolith Refinery, Medium Solar Panel.
- Reduced wear rate of all mining and production modules by 5-12%.
- Large Hydroponic Farms now consume less water (24 -> 14) and produce organics 18% longer.
- Mushroom Farms now consume less water (4 -> 3) when producing organics.
- Carbon Fiber Factory production cycle increased from 12 -> 20.
- Component Factory now requires fewer titanium plates for construction.
