Moon Sweepers · Player field notes

A clear route from dust to payment.

Moon Sweepers dust and stone are paid when they reach the Hub by conveyor in version 1.0.3. Start by connecting a complete receiving route; then solve the specific unloading, machine or power problem holding it up.

Choose a task below for short steps, a completion check and the limits of the evidence.

Read the guide

Get dust to the Hub and get paid

Connect your Moon Sweepers dust route to the Hub, confirm payment, and understand why packaged material does not appear inside the selling machine.

Unload a vehicle at the garage

Find the left garage ramp, stop beneath the unloading pipe, and connect the dust output to a selling route in Moon Sweepers.

Build a working Packager route

Use the Moon Sweepers Packager as a dust intake with a rear conveyor output. Connect it to the Hub or a processing line without confusing packing with production.

Use the Moon Sweepers Packager as a dust intake with a rear conveyor output. Connect it to the Hub or a processing line without confusing packing with production.

Selling & logistics

Empty a brush without confusing capsule size

Understand tool capacity versus 1 kg capsules in Moon Sweepers, unload a brush directly, and distinguish the reported launch bug from normal packing.

Building & power

Split and combine conveyor routes

Connect branches correctly in Moon Sweepers, understand automatic splitter alternation, and avoid the obsolete host-only workaround after 1.0.3.

Building & power

Turn dust into Moon Sand

Connect dust, power and the sand output in Moon Sweepers. Check the inlet before rebuilding a Pressure Chamber that appears idle.

Building & power

Give the Stone Press both ingredients

Build a Moon Sweepers Stone Press route with both raw dust and Moon Sand. Diagnose missing ingredients before adding more production machines.

Building & power

Find out why the factory stops at night

Check generation, stored charge and demand in Moon Sweepers before replacing machinery that stops after sunset. Keep the J.O.O.N.A.S issue separate.

Selling & logistics

Find the bottleneck before buying more machines

Trace a load through unloading, belts, processing and Hub delivery in Moon Sweepers. Diagnose the first queue instead of copying an unverified machine ratio.

Vehicles & routes

Recall vehicles after a garage change

Find owned Moon Sweepers vehicles at another garage after demolition. Version 1.0.3 preserves vehicles, but does not promise restoration of earlier losses.

Vehicles & routes

Use the map to choose the next area

Read Moon Sweepers map colors at the station console and choose an unfinished cleaning area without confusing exploration markers with selling infrastructure.

Building & power

Plan placement before rebuilding

Place Moon Sweepers machines across foundations in 1.0.3, plan input/output space and understand the limits of old rotation and refund reports.

Use the crew's shared upgrade matrix

Use the shared host upgrade matrix in Moon Sweepers 1.0.3. Distinguish current crew upgrades from older reports and unverified item-sharing rules.

Manage players from Your Crew

Use ESC and Your Crew as the Moon Sweepers host to manage disruptive players. Understand the difference between a kick and a ban from that save.

Load an affected world after the save fix

Try the current Moon Sweepers load path for affected cleaned worlds. Understand automatic backup repair without deleting saves or promising universal recovery.

Building & power

Place a Robot Vacuum where there is still dust

Place a Moon Sweepers Robot Vacuum around unfinished hexes, check its station-centered coverage and connect the output without assuming remote operation is fixed.

Selling & logistics

Auto-Packer packs a full tool; delivery is a separate job

Understand what the Moon Sweepers Auto-Packer description promises, why capsules appear at your feet, and how it differs from a placed Packager and delivery.

Selling & logistics

Work on depot deposit counts without rebuilding your factory

Use the reported manual capsule deposit method for Moon Sweepers milestones, place the delivery belt before the door closes, and separate counts from dust weight.

Vehicles & routes

Land a vehicle trickshot to collect the bonus

Use a ramp, rotate a Moon Sweepers vehicle in the air and land upright for trickshot payouts. Understand wipeouts and why example rewards are not a fixed money rate.

Building & power

Send dust around a closed conveyor loop

Build a closed conveyor circuit and put dust on it for It’ll Get There Eventually in Moon Sweepers. Keep this hidden achievement separate from selling and depot counts.

Vehicles & routes

Collect the reward from a flag you find

Untangle a Moon Sweepers flag, confirm the reward and check exploration progress. Follow the keyboard interaction shown in current creator footage.

Selling & logistics

Choose the next upgrade for the delay you can see

Choose a Moon Sweepers tool upgrade by the work slowing you down. Compare cleaning, carrying and delivery before spending toward a vehicle.

Building & power

Give JOONAS dust a working Capsule Catcher route

Route JOONAS dust through a Capsule Catcher in Moon Sweepers 1.0.4. Check the nearest catcher, its 100 kg storage, conveyor output and current robot activity.

Vehicles & routes

Teleport to a station you have discovered

Use the Moon Sweepers map right-click menu to teleport to a discovered station. Check the destination and displayed travel conditions before confirming.

Vehicles & routes

Control boost, cruise and suction on a cleaning trip

Use the Mega Vacuum Rover keyboard controls shown in Moon Sweepers footage: boost, unlocked cruise control, suction modes, lights and entering or leaving.

Vehicles & routes

Use night vision, gravity boots and jetpack boosts

Cycle Moon Sweepers night vision with N, toggle unlocked gravity boots with B and use the jetpack controls shown in creator footage. Check the new suit HUD.

Check the DirectX mode after an AMD driver timeout

For Moon Sweepers AMD driver timeouts, check the 1.0.4 DirectX 11 default and existing Steam launch options. Separate player successes from a universal fix.

Use the current rule, not an old workaround

The 1.0.3 patch introduced shared matrix upgrades, preserved garage vehicles and cross-foundation placement. The 1.0.4 announcement adds remote J.O.O.N.A.S work, map controls and automatic full backups. Our guides separate those changes from earlier player reports.

The developer now announces that J.O.O.N.A.S keeps cleaning without nearby players and launches capsules to the nearest catcher. This supersedes the October 24 planned-fix notice; it is an official patch statement, not our own playtest.

Practical help with visible sources

These guides combine the official patch with specific player questions and attributed gameplay material. A source's unknown build stays unknown, and a published guide is not presented as our own playtest.

The normal selling chain is the starting point. We do not promise every material sells safely, a maximum earning rate or a quickest whole-Moon completion route.
