At A Glance
Moon Sweepers money in Clean the Moon is lunar dust you dump at a depot, then ship. Later recaps add flag loot and factory overflow. There is no trainer, money-edit, or cheat table on this wiki. DragDrop Games, Steam 5335510, Patch 1.0.4 · October 25, 2026 · Steam app 5335510. Steam.
Official start is the toothbrush loop. Player recaps that run a spawn-side flag, buy a Household Broom, and raise container kg first are Unverified routes — confirm names and prices in-game.

What is the Moon Sweepers money loop?
Store copy for Clean the Moon is sweep → depot → shipment → upgrades. Recaps add two extra income lines: flags (explore) and region complete bonuses (hex done). Factory overflow belts that always sell a lower-tier product are a late third line. None of those replace emptying the tool. If a search promised a Moon Sweepers money editor, close it — this page is the legal loop.
| Income | How you get it | When it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Flags | Hold E on tangled country flags | Minute 1–30 |
| Dust shipment | Empty tool / hopper, then ship or sell | Whole game |
| Region bonus | Finish the bulk of a hex | Once you have a broom |
| Economy matrix | Server-wide pay and region bonus upgrades | Second hour |
| Trickshots | Ramp, spin, land upright | Optional, after a fast sweeper |
| Factory sell chutes | Overflow belts into a seller | After hammer + belts |
| J.O.O.N.A.S. capsules | Autonomous pods into a capsule catcher | End game |
Empty is not sell
A stream emptied a toothbrush and received $0.50 (Unverified). The lesson is not the number — it is that deposit is a separate click from being full. If the HUD still shows stored dust and cash did not move, you have not shipped.
Walk tax is the real cost
Capacity upgrades pay when the round trip is longer than the sweep. Width upgrades pay when you are already next to dust. Buying a vehicle before either is how Moon Sweepers money stalls. Next: skip the toothbrush with flags.
How do I start with flag cash instead of a toothbrush grind?
The “start with $100” recap: leave the station, run to the right of Earth, unravel the flag, return to the supply wall. A longer tips recap walked a half-circle of three flags within about 1000 yards and treated $200 per flag / $300 total as a Wide Broom budget. Treat dollars as Unverified; the route is the tactic.
- Do01Do not open a toothbrush hex marathon
- Do02Exit North; keep the home arrow in view
- Do03Hold E on every flag you pass
- Do04HUD map marks found flags — use it to avoid a second empty loop
- Do05Return as soon as Household Broom unlocks
- Do06Equip, then Upgrade Matrix before the next outing
Flags are not infinite money
They line the Moon for every country, so they keep paying during expansion, but they are a spike, not a factory. After the first broom, dust per minute should beat hunting one more flag unless you are walking to a new station anyway.
Home arrow vs second station
Stray far enough and another station pings. Teleport exists on the moon map after a visit. Do not teleport-spend the flag stash. First-hour binds: beginner guide.
What should I buy with the first $100?
Supply wall is a ladder. The $100 recap: Household Broom → hammer (to unlock later belts) → tool-belt slot → Upgrade Matrix on that broom (3 kg → 6 kg example). Do not save for Extra Wide while you are still on a toothbrush.
| If you have | Buy | Skip |
|---|---|---|
| Flag cash, no broom | Household Broom | Toothbrush container only |
| Broom + leftover | Hammer, then belt slot | Garage rover |
| Broom equipped | Container kg on Upgrade Matrix | Night-vision at noon |
| Still leftover | Cleaning width on the broom | Extra Wide if Wide is not owned |
| Stable dumps | Economy matrix (region bonus) | Fourth depot in a dead crater |
| Walk tax obvious | Closer dump or packager belt | J.O.O.N.A.S. at 20k recap |
Economy vs broom width
Upgrade recaps call Economy the early matrix row because region bonuses and shipment pay scale for the whole lobby. Width still wins if you cannot fill a hex. Shared matrix means one Economy click serves sixteen people. Co-op spend rules: co-op.

Do vehicle trickshots pay in Moon Sweepers?
Yes, as a side hustle. Recaps build a ramp, spin or backflip, and get paid only if the sweeper lands upright. A wipeout pays nothing. Example pops: $19 and $23 (Unverified). Speed in that recap was 56 km/h after a motor upgrade. Hold the trick key through the rotation.
Do not farm tricks instead of dust
Trickshots need a vehicle, a ramp, and time. Flags plus a broom still print more Moon Sweepers money in the first hour. Use ramps when you already have a fast sweeper and a spare minute, not as the primary loop.
How do I turn dust into shipments after the broom?
Handheld: empty indoors, then ship. Rover: pull onto the garage chute, belt the dust toward a seller if production would back up. Recaps keep an overflow line that always sells a low-tier product so machines never stall. Packager at the end of a belt lets you dump in the field instead of walking home — packager.
Region bonus is extra, not the paycheck
Finishing a honeycomb pays a little on top of the kg you sold. Economy upgrades that bonus. You can leave specks; you cannot leave the dump unclicked.
Late money is a factory
Pressure chambers, stone presses, moon blocks, and J.O.O.N.A.S. capsules are how Clean the Moon stops being a walking sim. Do not start that graph until the broom loop is boring. Layout: automation.
What should I never spend shared cash on?
In a lobby, one spender. Duplicate brooms, duplicate Economy clicks, and a J.O.O.N.A.S. before a capsule catcher exist are the classic burns. Recaps priced J.O.O.N.A.S. at $20k and warned they were buggy before the 1.0.4 rework — still not a first-wallet buy.
| Spend | Why it hurts Moon Sweepers money |
|---|---|
| Second copy of the same broom | Matrix is already shared |
| Personal lamp before a broom | Does not raise kg/min |
| Depot far from dust | Cannot move; walk tax forever |
| Small solar panels | Recaps: only large trackers are worth building |
| J.O.O.N.A.S. without catchers | Pods need a landing machine |
| Teleport spam | One recap: $50 per hop — Unverified |
| Trainer / money edit | Unsupported; not documented here |
One habit
If the purchase does not shorten a walk, widen a stroke, or raise shipment pay, keep the cash. Next tool comparison: cleaning tools.
What next
Next: rank the next brush against capacity on cleaning tools.
FAQ
Can I edit money with Cheat Engine?
This wiki does not publish trainers, tables, or value edits. Use flags, shipments, and factories.
Do I get paid when the tool is full?
No. Empty at the station or garage chute, then ship or sell. Full is unpaid inventory.
Do trickshots count?
Yes if you land upright. Wipeouts pay nothing. Treat as optional after you own a fast sweeper.
Is co-op cash shared?
Yes. After 1.0.3, upgrades on the matrix are shared too. One person should spend.
