About the Game
The Moon is covered in dust. The Lunar Surface Department (LSD) has sent you and your crew to clean it up. Unfortunately, the budget only covered a toothbrush.
Collect lunar dust, sell and use the earnings to buy better tools and upgrade your equipment. Turn an underfunded cleanup mission into a growing operation, one painfully small brushstroke at a time.
Team up in online co-op lobbies of up to 16 players. Spread out to cover more ground or tackle the same area together. There’s enough dust to keep everyone busy. Whether everyone actually works is another matter.
Fill your storage with lunar dust, deliver it to a depot and launch shipments to get paid. Spend your earnings on new cleaning tools and increased carrying capacity so you can take on bigger jobs between deliveries.
Watch dusty terrain turn clean with every pass. Track your progress across the lunar surface, place depots near your work and put cleaning vehicles to use as your operation grows.
Stop being lazy, you’ve got whole Moon to clean. Better get started.

Up to date
Moon Sweepers 1.0.5 Patch
Update 1.0.5 brings a much more flexible building system: build anywhere, build on, under and beside foundations, move what you've built, and machines that snap neatly onto foundations. It also fixes a freeze some players hit shortly after loading their world, makes J.O.O.N.A.S. spread its capsules over your catchers, reduces stutters in big bases and fixes a long list of bugs.
BUILDING
- Build Anywhere: Every piece can now be built on dusty ground. The dust under it is pressed flat as it's built, so you no longer have to clean the ground first.
- Build On, Under and Beside: Aim at a foundation's top, underside or side to build on, under or beside it. Pieces can also be built out past an edge into the air.
- Move Mode: Press R with the building tool to pick up a piece together with everything standing on it, then place it again for free. Belts at its ports follow where they can reach. Right-click puts it back, X switches to remove mode, and R or Esc ends move mode. On a controller, press Y from remove mode.
- Full Refund: Removing a piece now gives back its whole price instead of 75%.
- Copy Rotation and Style: Middle-clicking a piece to pick it now also copies its rotation and style.
- Machines Snap to Foundations: The Stone Press and other machines line up with the foundation you aim at. They sit square to it, flush with its edges or centred on it, and otherwise on a 0.5 m grid. The mouse wheel turns them in 90° steps (30° on hexagonal foundations). Press F to place freely as before.
NEW OPTIONS
- Public Game Warning: Starting a public game, or switching your crew to public, now asks you first. It explains what other players can do to your Moon and how to kick or ban them (ESC menu, under YOUR CREW).
- Chat Voice Slider: Settings > Audio now has a Chat voice slider for the text-to-speech chat.
- Vehicle Camera: New option in Settings > Controls, "Vehicle camera follows behind". Turn it off to keep the camera where you turned it, instead of re-centering behind the vehicle.
- Garage Silo Status: A garage whose silo isn't sending its dust out now tells you why, for example "Connect a conveyor belt to its outfeed".
J.O.O.N.A.S.
- Smarter Capsule Delivery: J.O.O.N.A.S. now fires each capsule at the emptiest capsule catcher in the nearest group (catchers within 100 m of each other), instead of filling one catcher while the one beside it stays empty. When every catcher in a group is over 80% full, capsules go to the next group.
- Fixed hexes cleaned far away from players staying at 99.9% without completing or paying.
- Fixed J.O.O.N.A.S. leaving a permanent spot where nothing could be built.
BUG FIXES & PERFORMANCE
- Fixed the game freezing ("Not Responding") about half a minute after loading some worlds, every time, on both DirectX 11 and DirectX 12.
- No More 10,000 Capsule Limit: Capsules lying on the ground are no longer limited to 10,000. A world can now hold up to 90,000 capsules in total.
- Fixed capsules not packing in big bases with many capsules on belts. Q, the Auto-Packer and machines pack again.
- Fixed the player running forward on their own (a "stuck W key"), and keyboard and mouse being ignored, while a controller, joystick, wheel or pedals rested off-centre.
- Fixed sectors showing 0% cleaned with no dust left. They are now checked when the world loads and finished ones complete and pay. The map no longer shows 0% for a sector that hasn't been measured yet.
- Fixed a crewmate teleporting to another station launching the player under them off the map.
- Fixed a row of Stone Presses or other machines on foundations being refused with "Keep the whole base on a flat foundation top".
- Fixed air hockey tables at the South, East and West stations showing an extra "0 - 0" score.
- Fewer garbage collection stutters in big bases.
- Fixed memory leaks after leaving a world and after removing structures.

Moon Sweepers 1.0.4 Patch is now out!
Update 1.0.4 brings major J.O.O.N.A.S. improvements, new suit gear, a better Moon map, much faster saving on big bases, automatic save backups and a long list of multiplayer and bug fixes.
NEW FEATURES
- Night Vision Goggles: New $350 suit upgrade. Press N to cycle between helmet lamp → goggles → off. Nights look like daytime without shadows. Goggles are also visible on your astronaut.
- Improved Moon Map: Right-click to set waypoints, focus or teleport. All robots now appear on the map with their current activity. Toggle each robot type on or off.
- Teleport Panel: View and teleport between the stations you've discovered.
- Suit HUD Icons: New indicators next to the dust gauge for lamp/goggles, jetpack boosts and gravity boots.
- Helmet Lamp Upgrades: Moved to the supply wall.
- Capsule Catcher: The glass now shows the collected dust, and capacity is increased to 100 kg.
J.O.O.N.A.S. IMPROVEMENTS
- No More Dock Trips: J.O.O.N.A.S. cleans a sector and launches capsules to the nearest catcher from anywhere while moving on to the next sector.
- 2x Faster Cleaning: Cleans one hex at a time from the outside in until it's 100% done. Less circling and much less idle time.
- Smarter Navigation: Finds its way around buildings and skips hexes it can't reach.
- Always Working: Keeps cleaning even when no players are nearby.
- Improved Bin Indicator: The gauge flashes red when full. Look at J.O.O.N.A.S. to see its information panel.
- Sector Tracking: Shows which sector J.O.O.N.A.S. is currently cleaning.
SAVING & BACKUPS
- Much Faster Saving: Saving large, heavily cleaned bases now takes a fraction of a second instead of up to half a minute.
- Faster Quitting: Quitting the game or returning to the main menu no longer leaves you waiting on "Saving your progress...".
- Automatic Backups: Each save slot now keeps up to 5 full backups of your world, taken a minute into every session and then every 30 minutes. They are stored outside Steam Cloud, in:
C:\Users\[user-name]\AppData\LocalLow\DragDropGames\MoonSweepers\Backups - Automatic Repair: If a save or part of it is ever damaged, the game restores it from your backups when the world loads and lets you know.
- Crash Recovery: After a crash, the game checks your save files on the next start and repairs any that were damaged.
MULTIPLAYER
- Ground Synchronization Reworked: Everyone now sees the same cleaned ground, including robot trails and manual cleaning. No more dust reappearing.
- Shared Belt Building: Any crewmate can place splitters and mergers on belts built by other players.
- Improved Mergers: Mergers now alternate between their inputs.
BUG FIXES & PERFORMANCE
- Fixed all machines pausing with "Could not pack a capsule" even with power and materials available.
- Fixed players falling through the Moon, including after teleporting between stations.
- Fixed foundations not being placeable next to ramps.
- Fixed machines failing to build when snapped side by side.
- Fixed the map not showing full section payments, including the Region Bounty.
- Fixed duplicate chess pieces appearing at stations.
- Fixed overlapping key hints near vehicles.
- Fixed freezing when switching tools while many robots are working.
- Fixed capsules falling beneath foundations after removing belts.
- Fixed a J.O.O.N.A.S. error when re-planning the middle of a hex.
- Steam Deck / Linux: Fixed startup issues with older Proton versions.
- Windows / AMD: DirectX 11 is now the default to prevent AMD GPU crashes. To use DirectX 12, add -force-d3d12 to your Steam launch options.
Note: Saves made in 1.0.4 can't be opened in older versions of the game.

Version 1.0.3
Oct 24, 2026
Saves
- Heavily cleaned bases load again. Some big worlds looked corrupted and wouldn't load properly; the save files were fine, and they now load normally.
- Saves now protect themselves: a damaged save is repaired automatically as it loads, from its backup or a recent snapshot, and every save is checked before it replaces the previous one. You'll get a message if anything had to be repaired.
Multiplayer
- Upgrades are shared: the whole crew uses the host's upgrade matrix, and anyone's purchase upgrades everyone. Older saves keep the highest level anyone had bought.
- Host controls: in the ESC menu, Your Crew lists everyone. The host can kick or ban a player; banned players can't join that save again, and the host can unban them there.
- Splitters and mergers built by crewmates now work.
Performance
- The game runs faster, especially on big bases: up to about 20% higher frame rates in our tests.
- Smoother driving across the Moon, faster teleports between stations and fewer stutters while the ground loads in.
- Ground hidden behind the Moon's horizon is no longer drawn.
Building
- Splitters and mergers snap straight onto each other, port to port.
- While carrying a capsule, you can put it onto a belt right where you aim.
- Machines can stand across several foundations, so pressure chambers, stone presses and garages fit on square foundations.
- The deposit intake now pays exactly what its screen shows. Dust and stone arriving by belt are paid as they come in.
Vehicles
- Your vehicles work at every garage: any garage can call them back, store them and upgrade them, and you won't be offered a vehicle you already own.
- Demolishing a garage no longer deletes the vehicles kept there. They move to another garage, or wait for the next garage you build.
- No more "Exited ..." message when you leave a vehicle, or message when a crewmate takes yours.
Look
- New menu icons for the upgrade tree, garage, radio, robot dock and whiteboard.
- New compass icons, each in its own colour: dust stations, crewmates, waypoints and the sector readout.
Important: All crewmates must be on version 1.0.3 to play together.
