Selling & logistics

Get dust to the Hub and get paid

Updated
Start here

Moon Sweepers auto-selling works by sending material into the Hub's intake on a conveyor. In version 1.0.3, the developer explicitly confirms that dust and stone are paid as they arrive. You do not need to wait for them to appear in the indoor selling machine.

Choose the receiving route you already have: a garage unloading a vehicle, or a Packager/tank taking collected dust. Both still need an outgoing belt that actually reaches the Hub.

Connect a short, complete route

  1. Prepare the source: unload a dusty vehicle at the garage, or put dust into a Packager or intake tank.
  2. Run its conveyor output toward the Hub. Players identify the side-wall opening with rubber flaps as the receiving connection.
  3. Send a small load through the finished route. Follow it all the way to the intake and check that payment is credited.

Why nothing appears inside

The indoor machine is the wrong completion check for this route. The Packaging question discussion describes exactly that confusion: material reaches the base, but the player waits for it to become a second, manually sellable pile. The current patch instead describes payment on arrival.

A disappearing capsule is not enough evidence on its own. Check the payment result too. If money does not change, keep the material type, installed version and first failing connection together when diagnosing the problem.

What success looks like

The task is complete when the intended load reaches the Hub and produces payment. An indoor inventory item is not required.
