How to play
Controls, automation ratios, and practical shortcuts
Use these controls and planning rules to spend less time correcting layouts and more time turning manual sweeping into a stable lunar production line.
Basic controls & perspectives
- F5 Interface
- Toggle the full user interface on or off.
- G Grid
- Show or hide the placement grid.
- C Third-person view
- Switch perspective. Sweeping, interactions, and button presses are unavailable until you return to first person.
- R Move an item
- Reposition a building or object you already placed.
- X Remove an item
- Delete a placed item and receive a 100% refund.
- F Placement mode
- Toggle between free placement and grid-clipping (snap-to-grid) placement.
- B Conveyor menu
- Open the conveyor belt menu without navigating through the build menus.
- Middle mouse Sample a building
- Copy an existing building so you can place another one quickly.
- L Lock the broom
- Fix the broom direction so you can walk steady back-and-forth cleaning lanes.
- M Map
- Open the map to look for distant flagposts, wreckage, and unlocked bases.
Automation & logistics
- Capsule Catchers and Junice robotsAttach a Capsule Catcher directly to your base when cleaning capsules begin piling up. It can automatically receive dust sent by Junice robots and can process and pay out dust even without a conveyor connection to a station.
- A practical production ratioUse one Capsule Catcher to support up to two Pressure Chambers making sand, then feed those chambers into five Stone Presses.
- Build the main line firstLay out the main conveyor pipeline before adding splitters or mergers. Once the route is stable, place the matching processing building on each branch.
- Plan power for the nightAim for two solar panels per Pressure Chamber and three solar panels per Stone Press so the batteries can carry production after sunset.
Economy & progression
- Prioritize income systemsInvest early in economy upgrades, market contracts, the lunar exchange, and region bounties.
- Explore while cash is tightThe first 6–10 hours can feel money-starved. Search beyond the base for flags that pay when unraveled and for crash sites; use the map to identify distant flagposts and wreckage.
- Use base-to-base fast travelAfter unlocking multiple bases, scroll the main mini-base map and right-click a target station to teleport there for $50.
From idle rhythm to factory logic
The task stays simple. The operation does not.
Coverage of Moon Sweepers repeatedly points to the same pull: tiny manual gains grow into upgrade decisions and production systems. The result sits between an incremental game and an automation game—closer to Cookie Clicker in its compulsion to improve the rate, and closer to Satisfactory when belts and machines begin replacing the walk back.
Read the beginner routeWhat you see
A dusty landscape that records every pass
The Moon is more than a progress bar. Cleaned ground, lived-in bases, distant wreckage, and low-gravity rover launches make the work visible from moment to moment.
Cleaning feedback
Grey dust covers broad lunar sectors, craters, hills, flags, and wreckage checkpoints. A sweeper or rover leaves a sharp, shiny clean surface behind, making every route visibly readable.
Life inside the base
Bases include functional downtime spaces: make coffee, lie down on a bed, change your spacesuit and colors at a locker, play Chess, or challenge the computer at Air Hockey in a first-to-10 match.
Rover stunts
Steep lunar mountains double as ramps. Rovers can launch into front flips, barrel rolls, and large 540° or 720° spins before returning to the cleaning route.

Player experience
Satisfying growth, a slow start, and a stubborn final sweep
The strongest impressions come from watching an impossible-looking cleanup become manageable, then nearly automatic—while knowing the last isolated patches may still demand direct attention.
Why the loop feels so addictive
An intimidating dusty Moon changes one clean lane at a time into a smooth, self-sustaining automated operation. Each upgrade makes the before-and-after difference easier to see.
A deliberately slow opening
Early progress asks for careful spending and repeated manual work. After the first several hours, belts, machines, vehicles, and robots begin taking over the routine.
Watch the final 2%
Late in a completion run, robot pathfinding can stall or send units far off route. Isolated outer sectors may still need a manual rover cleanup.
Spoiler: the 100% completion ending
Reaching 100% completion triggers a dark-comedy cinematic: Earth explodes and breaks apart, leaving the cleaner stranded on the Moon with a coffee mug. The absurd reversal turns a perfect cleanup into the game’s final joke.
