Should you buy it or save for the Rover?

The Mega Vacuum Rover costs $6,000 and carries 3,000 kg. Buying the Lunar Sweeper spends $2,500 that could go toward the Rover, but gives you a larger cleaning vehicle while you earn the remainder. Compare the duration of a full collection-and-unloading trip in your current vehicle before choosing.

The Ride-on Sweeper holds 500 kg. The Lunar Sweeper’s larger hopper reduces how often a given amount of collected dust needs unloading, but each return still depends on access to a Garage and a clear outgoing route.

Which part of the route should you improve?

Unload on the Garage’s collector pad. The silo then feeds dust capsules onto connected belts for sale or processing. Keep the vehicle approach clear when expanding conveyors around the building.

Choose Quick Release for pad-transfer delays, movement upgrades for travel, or Big Hopper for longer collection trips. If delivered dust is already waiting in the silo, fix the belts or processor supply first. Use the profit calculator to compare sales over a complete trip instead of judging the upgrade by hopper size alone.
