Data, sources and known conflicts
Everything Foundry knows about Moon Sweepers, where it comes from, where sources disagree, and what nobody has published yet.
Status of the data

The studio publishes no machine statistics. Its Steam patch notes give only the changes: Capsule Catcher capacity 100 kg, Night Vision Goggles price, the 100 m group and 80% rule, the 90,000 capsule limit, alternating mergers and the 100% build refund. Everything else is community data, often read from game files by third parties and not verified in game.
Confidence levels used across the site:
- Official from the studio’s own Steam patch notes.
- Community published by a community database or extracted from game files.
- Low confidence a single unconfirmed guide.
- Unknown not published anywhere: shown as unknown, never zero.
- Computed computed by Foundry from sourced values.

Known conflicts
Where two sources disagree, both are kept and the disagreement is shown on the affected pages.
| Conflict | Affects |
|---|---|
| The earlier model treated splitter/merger as 3 logical resources; in game a splitter is 1 in / 2 out and a merger 2 in / 1 out, on capsules. | splitter, merger |
| Battery Bank at 160 is listed by two databases, but one guide denies a standalone battery; capacity is unknown. | battery |
| Mega Vacuum Rover: 3.7 m (DB) vs 4 m (KeenGamer). The 3000 kg hopper agrees. | megaVacuumRover |
| Vehicle upgrade base prices: DB is about 2x the .me values. Both kept. | vehicleUpgrades |
| Earlier values not found elsewhere and now set to unknown: Garage 600 kg/s, robot speeds 0.9 and 1.2 m/s, J.O.O.N.A.S. 20 kg capsule (single guide). | garage, robot1, robot2, joonas |
| Community builds (f87fd7e5, 0121bf5e) are not mapped to patches; DB mixes 1.0.4 prices/recipes with 1.0.5 pages. | everything |
| The 1:1 dust to sand yield is shown by DB and .me; another guide says the specs do not prove it. | chamber |
| Raw dust for 1 chamber : 2 presses: 40 kg/min (chamber throttled to 80%) vs 45 kg/min (chamber at full speed, 5 kg/min sand surplus). | chamber, press |
