Moon Sweepers Power & Production Planner
Last updated · based on game version 1.0.4
Enter how many machines you plan to build. The planner works out the power you need, how many solar panels cover it, and the dust, sand and Moonstone flow per minute at full speed.
The numbers behind the planner
| Machine | Input | Output | Cycle | Power | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure Chamber | Up to 5 kg Lunar Dust | Moon Sand | 12 s | 10 kW | $500 |
| Stone Press | 1 kg Lunar Dust + 1 kg Moon Sand | 2 kg Moonstone Block | 6 s | 18 kW | $1,000 |
| Solar Post | – | 3 kW | – | – | $75 |
| Solar Twin (M) | – | 7.5 kW | – | – | Not confirmed |
At full speed that means one Pressure Chamber can take up to 25 kg of dust per minute, and one Stone Press uses 10 kg of dust and 10 kg of Moon Sand per minute to make 20 kg of Moonstone.
Why process dust at all?
Processed materials sell for more. Moon Sand is reported to be worth about 3× raw dust, and Moonstone about 7×. A Stone Press turns 1 kg of dust and 1 kg of sand into 2 kg of Moonstone, so if those multipliers hold, every cycle turns about 4 units of value into 14.
Placement tips
- Fixed solar panels only power buildings within 16 m. Sun-tracking panels reach 34 m. Put panels close to the machines they feed.
- The planner shows full-speed numbers. Real output drops if a machine runs short of dust, sand or power.
Not confirmed yet: how many kilograms of Moon Sand one Pressure Chamber cycle produces, the multiplier values, and the Solar Twin price. If you know any of these from your game, tell us and we will add them to the planner.
