How should I use the Lunar Sweeper?

When is it better than the ride-on?

Push Sweeper is $300 and is the walk-behind start. Ride-on Sweeper is $1,000. Crew Transport is $2,000 and carries people plus four capsules rather than cutting a wide dust path. Mega Vacuum Rover is $6,000 with a 4 meter roller and a 3,000 kg tank. Against that list the Lunar Sweeper is the first vehicle whose wiki row names three brushes and a 2.8 meter width. I would buy it when walking with a broom is the bottleneck and I do not yet have $6,000. The 7 upgrade lines, a 2.5 times scale, and the brush count are on that same single vehicle page, so the upgrade prices themselves are not copied here.

Speed at 16 km/h is one community source. I will not pretend the garage tooltip showed it. Battery life and a recharge point were not in the fields I saved, so those cells stay empty. Unlock text says the garage, without a level number.

A practical pass

Drive the 2.8 meter strip along a dusty hex edge, dump before 1,200 kg if the base is far, and do not expect this rover to teleport with you. The map page says the Moon Map sends you between stations, and a mod exists specifically to bring the vehicle along, which implies the unmodded trip leaves the rover behind. That implication is one reading of a mod description, not a developer sentence. Park the Lunar Sweeper where you can walk back to it.
