Moon Sweepers: First Session & Upgrade Tips
A first-session route for Moon Sweepers: how to clean efficiently, whether to upgrade tools or vehicles first, and how to split work in 16-player co-op.
Verified for version1.0
Moon Sweepers starts you with a toothbrush and a moon covered in dust. The first session should teach you the economy: what cleaning actually earns, what an upgrade costs, and how much faster the next session can be.
Your first session
- Clean one small area completely. A finished patch gives you a clean number to compare against later. Half-cleaning three areas teaches you nothing.
- Sell as soon as the trip is worth it. The loop only moves forward when dust becomes money.
- Note what slows you down. Is it the size of the area, the time spent travelling, or the tool itself? That answer decides your first upgrade.
- Buy one upgrade, not several. You want to feel what each purchase changes.
- Repeat the same area. Running the same route before and after an upgrade is the only clean test of whether the money helped.
What to upgrade first
The store names tools and vehicles as upgrade targets but does not explain what each one changes. Use the first session to find out. Start with the tool you use most, because that is where the time goes. Once the main tool feels comfortable, try a vehicle upgrade and compare the next session against the same route.
Do not buy an upgrade just because you can afford it. The toothbrush start is the game's way of saying that the first upgrade should remove the biggest bottleneck, not the most expensive one on the list.
Joining co-op
Steam lists online co-op for up to 16 players, and the launch press release says the same. There is no split-screen mention, so plan for online play. Before the session, agree on areas: each player takes a section and finishes it. If two players sweep the same patch, one of them is wasting time.
Sixteen players is a coordination problem more than a cleaning problem. If the group is large, put someone in charge of calling areas, and keep the calls simple. A quiet group that splits evenly will out-earn a loud group that clusters.
Mistakes that slow you down
- Hoarding money. An upgrade you do not buy earns nothing.
- Crowding teammates. Overlapping areas is the most common co-op waste.
- Ignoring the same-route test. If you change area and upgrade at the same time, you learn nothing.
- Confusing it with the Roblox game. Different game, different systems, no shared codes.
