What is confirmed
The official description says you build robots, belts, and machines on the way to a 100% clean Moon. It does not list craft costs. Do not paste Steam prices into this game. Moon Sweepers on Steam sells a Building Tool, a Packager, and belts by the metre. Those rows are the wrong product.
What players have shown
A November 9 Sweep The Moon walkthrough tells the viewer to place one large robot dock and then a conveyor merger around the base so two lines join. Viewers of another money guide asked which key puts dust on a belt. That key was not answered in the public comments, so this page will not invent a bind. Open the build menu you actually have and read the prompt.
The +1 Robot Dock pass, sampled at 149 Robux, is described as one free small robot dock on every Moon. Its robots clean for the whole crew, and the dock can be picked up and placed again without another placement fee. That is a pass, not proof of a cash price for the first dock.
2x Cash is described as also applying to your share of automation cash. Mechanic, in the class table, adds robot and machine speed and sometimes doubles crew cash on a robot load. Those are bonuses on top of a dock you already placed.
A setup that matches the evidence
- Get brush, canister, and speed to the point where you can fund a build without stopping every few seconds.
- Finish nearby tiles so the bonus cash and Shards are banked before you buy a machine you cannot see yet.
- Place a robot dock when the build menu offers one. Start with one dock and watch whether dust is sold for the crew.
- Add a belt or merger only when you can see the piece. Point it toward the deposit. A belt that does not reach the intake does not pay.
- Keep sweeping the gaps the robots miss. Automation in the pass text is a share of cash, not a promise that the Moon finishes itself.
Hive Mites is a robot name attached to an event window that ran November 6 to November 11, 2026 UTC. See current events. It is not the starting dock.
Some badge writeups name a Crusher and a Block Press for a Factory Floor badge. Those names were not on the three badges visible on the public game page, so they are not steps on this page.
