Moon Sweepers beginner guide
The first hour is a broom, a sale, and one machine. Do not open the $1,000 press while you are still carrying dust by hand.
What should I prioritise?
Sell dust often enough that the $100 Packager is affordable, then give it one belt toward a station intake. Straight belt is $40. A $120 foundation is optional: official patch 1.0.5 permits building directly on dusty ground. The listed Packager and straight belt total $140, before any optional building pieces. I would buy that set before a $300 walk-behind if the walk-behind is only saving steps you can still do. Push Sweeper at $300 is the comfort purchase once the belt is moving.
Power comes before the chamber. A $75 post makes 3 kW and dies at night. A $150 twin adds 7.5 kW and 4 kWh. The chamber wants 10 kW, so the post-plus-twin pair at $225 is the bill I would pay before I spend $500 on the sand maker. Toothbrush and the wider brooms exist on the tool table for the minutes before any vehicle. I am not ranking those brooms by a damage number the table does not show.
Tips that are actually sourced
Turn belt arrows before you buy a duplicate machine. A splitter is $5 and has no ratio knob. Night length is argued, so do not build a plan that needs a specific minute count. The six-arm robot at $20,000 is a late toy, and it wants a $1,500 catcher. Leaving that pair for last is the tip I would tattoo on the garage wall. Co-op is up to 16 on the store page, which means a friend's belt can also be the clog.
