Practical guides for Moon Sweepers, from your first dust load to a working robot delivery line.

Start with the job in front of you:

I am starting out. Learn the collection and delivery loop, then choose a purchase that reduces the part slowing you down.
I want dust to sell automatically. Connect a Packager to the station intake and check a small delivery before extending the route.
My robot has stopped. Identify the robot model, then inspect its cleaning area, catcher or dock, and outgoing belt.
I am playing with friends. Set up the crew, understand shared Matrix upgrades, and protect a long-running world.
My world will not load. Locate the official backups and separate a known loading bug from a damaged save.

Moon Sweepers is developed by DragDrop Games and sold through Steam. It supports solo play and online co-op for up to 16 players. This is an independent guide site; the game runs on your computer. S01

Current guide baseline: 1.0.5. The latest formal patch found in our 5 November research changes catcher routing and fixes several loading, packing and progress problems. Update 1.1 is planned for December 2026; its proposed features are still in development. S04 S05

Follow the dust

Manual collection → Packager → correctly directed belts → station intake.

Robot collection uses a different source: a Robot Vacuum supplies its dock; J.O.O.N.A.S. launches to a Capsule Catcher. The receiving end still needs a working route.

Open the dust-delivery guide to see each connection, or use the troubleshooting guide to start at the first point where material stops.
