Vehicles: Prices and Which Is Best

Updated · Tools & Upgrades

Quick answer

Build a Garage ($200) first. Then: Push Sweeper $300 → Ride-on Sweeper $1,000 → Lunar Sweeper $2,500 (2.8 m strip, 1,200 kg hopper) → Mega Vacuum Rover $6,000 (4 m intake, 3,000 kg tank) — the best cleaning vehicle. The Crew Transport Van ($2,000) only carries players and doesn't clean.

Vehicle upgrades

Bought at the garage. The Mega Vacuum Rover’s Suction Control widens the cleaning strip but slows you down; cruise control is also an upgrade. One Steam guide lists the order Tuned Engine → Large Bunker (bigger hopper) → Suction Control → Turbo Kit → Quick Emptying ⚠️ — names may differ slightly in English. One player reports a fully upgraded Rover hopper at 5,700 kg ⚠️. Upgrade prices aren’t published yet.

Unloading and controls

Is it worth buying vehicles?

Yes, as the step between hand tools and automation: a $2,500 Lunar Sweeper clears a 2.8 m strip versus about 1 m for the best broom. Once money is flowing, the late game moves to J.O.O.N.A.S. robots, which clean without you.

FAQ

What is the best vehicle in Moon Sweepers?

The Mega Vacuum Rover ($6,000): 4 m intake and a 3,000 kg tank, and its Suction Control lets you trade driving speed for a wider strip. The Lunar Sweeper ($2,500) is the best value step before it.

Do I need a garage for every vehicle?

No. Since patch 1.0.3 every garage can call back, store and upgrade any of your vehicles, and you won't be offered one you already own.

What happens to my vehicles if I demolish a garage?

Since 1.0.3 they're kept: they move to another garage or wait for the next one you build. (Older guides warning that vehicles get deleted are out of date.)

Does the van clean?

No — the Crew Transport Van ($2,000) moves your crew around faster but doesn't collect dust.
