CRACK: calcite missing, or the calcite work order won't fill
Quick answer
Calcite comes from calcite veins in the egg, and on some AMD and Intel graphics cards they didn't appear, especially for the host. Rafoli fixed that in v1.0.35 and v1.0.43, so make sure every player is on the latest version; the calcite work order needs $150 since v1.0.53.
Kingy has not played the game. Every line below comes from Rafoli's patch notes and the Steam achievement list, a developer reply on the forum, or at least two players' Steam reports, as marked. Rafoli patches every day or two.

Update every player first
v1.0.35 (October 27) fixed calcite not appearing for hosts on a few AMD and Intel graphics cards, and v1.0.43 the same day fixed calcite veins missing from the egg on some AMD and Intel cards. The CRACK community moderator told players to make sure both of them were on the latest version, and the crew in that thread later finished the game.
Close CRACK and let Steam update it. Every player in the crew needs the same, latest version.
v1.0.43 added a Vulkan launch option for players whose graphics cards have issues with DirectX 11; you pick it when you launch the game from Steam. Whether it brings back calcite isn't reported. A host with an AMD 6750 XT still had almost no calcite after the fixes, and a player on November 2 is stuck at $50 of the $150 order on the newest version, so it isn't fully solved for everyone.
Launch the game from Steam and pick the Vulkan option. The host's machine matters most.
v1.0.53 (October 28) lowered the calcite work order from $250 to $150, and the hatchite order from $300 to $250. Older threads that mention $250 or more come from before that patch.
