Moon Sweepers beginner guide: toothbrush, depot and first shipment

The clean first-hour route for Moon Sweepers: brush lunar dust, reach a depot and turn the first shipment into better equipment.

Checked for launch weekStore facts and the current patch trail were checked on Oct 27, 2026. The live game remains the source of truth.

What you do first

Moon Sweepers’ Steam page describes a Windows co-op game where you start with a toothbrush, collect lunar dust, deliver it to a depot and spend the payout on better tools and capacity. The store lists solo play and online co-op lobbies of up to 16 players.

  1. Use the toothbrush to clear a manageable patch instead of spreading the first run across the whole Moon.
  2. Carry the dust to a depot and follow the shipment flow before buying a larger tool.
  3. Spend the first payout on the bottleneck you just felt: carrying, travel or cleaning speed.
  4. Only then start laying out automation. A short, readable route is easier to debug than a huge first base.

What to verify before following an old guide

Moon Sweepers received launch-week changes to multiplayer upgrades, belts, saves, map information and the J.O.O.N.A.S. cleaning robot. A guide that predates patch 1.0.4 may describe a rule that no longer matches the current build.

EarlyWiki rule: we will not invent an exact “best money route” until the cost, payout and patch version are visible in a source or a dated playtest.
