What the 1.1 announcement says
The official Moon Sweepers Steam News announcement says the game passed 600,000 players in its first week and reached about 70,000 concurrent players. It also says the first large content update, version 1.1, is planned for December 2026.
This is a forward-looking announcement, not a live patch. The Steam store page remains the reference for the released game, while the current EarlyWiki guide trail stays tied to the live 1.0.x build until 1.1 ships.
Planned content areas
- Production: new machines and production lines.
- Economy: new materials and products to work through.
- Progression: more tools and upgrades.
- Automation: a deeper automation layer for growing bases.
What is not confirmed yet
- No exact December release date or launch time.
- No final machine names, recipes, material values or product payouts.
- No confirmed balance changes to current tools, storage, belts or J.O.O.N.A.S.
- No promise that every planned feature will arrive in the first 1.1 build.
How to prepare without guessing
- Keep current base notes labelled with the live patch number instead of rebuilding for an unreleased update.
- Save screenshots of existing production routes, costs and bottlenecks so a post-update comparison has a clear baseline.
- On launch day, check the official announcement and live build before publishing an exact recipe, payout or best automation route.
- Use the first 1.1 test to separate new content from balance changes carried over from 1.0.5.
