Moon Sweepers money: choose the next purchase from completed sales

Compare the ways to earn

GAMES.GG reports $100 for flags and $250 for surveys. These are guide-reported game-currency rewards; this site has no verified coordinate map. Use flags and surveys for the exploration approach. S22

Budget the first vehicle correctly

The reported Garage costs $200 and Push Sweeper $300. Together that is $500 if you already own the Building Tool. Add the reported $50 Building Tool for $550 from scratch, excluding any additional transport or upgrades. A guide quoting $500 and another quoting $550 can be counting different equipment rather than different vehicle prices. S12S22

Before saving for the vehicle, compare a $25 Household Broom or a new 20 m Packager route at $160 using the existing reference prices. Those choices change different parts of your run. The first-upgrades guide compares capacity and width; the budget calculator accepts your menu prices.

Compare processing with a simpler selling route

The money guide reports reference sale values of $1/kg Dust, $3/kg Sand and $7/kg Stone. Those values are not independently verified in-game here and should be checked against your build and active bonuses. Stone consumes both Dust and Sand; do not apply its unit price to all collected Dust without accounting for the recipe. S22S24

One Chamber and one Press cost a reported $1,500 before the power and belt setup. Compare the extra completed-sale income against all extra purchases. A blocked outlet or uncharged battery can erase the expected improvement. The factory guide explains the raw-Dust branch and conditional machine ratios.

Check Market Contracts separately

Two guides report a first-level $120 cost and a 6% bonus to eligible Dust-sale income. At those values, $2,000 of qualifying base sales produces $120 extra. The Market Contracts guide shows the calculation and why it is not a guaranteed repayment time. S22S25

Use the current refund rule

Patch 1.0.5 says removed building pieces return their full price. The money article's 75% refund wording is older than that official rule, despite the article's November update date. Full-price refunds do not guarantee stored material or every attachment survives removal. Preserve a save and use Move Mode where suitable. S04S22

Measure one complete run after a purchase using dust efficiency. Keep co-op Matrix spending coordinated and distinguish cumulative earnings from the current balance when working toward money achievements.
