Beginner Guide

You start with a toothbrush and a tight budget from the Lunar Surface Department (LSD). The opening teaches the loop by hand — follow it, but a little order goes a long way before you chase the whole Moon.

1. Sweep your first lunar dust. The brush is slow on purpose — that's the joke and the grind.
2. Carry dust to the nearest depot and launch the shipment to get paid.
3. Spend your first earnings on carrying capacity before bigger tools — more capacity means fewer trips back.
4. Only wander far from your depot once your storage can handle a full round trip.
5. Open Settings to confirm your control scheme (controller or keyboard/mouse) before a long session.

Moon Sweepers is one loop, repeated and scaled. Master it and the rest is logistics:

The game has full controller support (DualShock / DualSense and Steam Input) and runs on PC. Exact key bindings aren't published yet — check Settings → Controls in-game. See the dedicated Controls & Settings guide for what's confirmed.

1. Wrong: ignore carrying capacity. Right: upgrade capacity early — it compounds every single trip.
2. Wrong: sweep far from a depot first. Right: build a clean, paid base near your depot before expanding outward.
3. Wrong: assume friends will pull their weight. Right: in co-op, assign zones — idle crew is the real enemy.
4. Wrong: expect deep combat or enemies. Right: this is a cleanup sim — the only opponents are dust and logistics.
5. Wrong: chase a perfectly clean Moon alone. Right: track progress per area and move on; the surface fills in as you go.
