Moon Sweepers guides
Five guides built only from the sourced dataset. Each one states its sources, flags what is uncertain and ends with a calculator that runs the same engine as the planner.
- Chamber to press ratioHow many Stone Presses one Pressure Chamber feeds: 2 chambers to 5 presses is balanced. Kg/min, power and cost for 1:1, 1:2, 2:5 and 4:8, with sources.
- Solar panels neededSolar Post, Twin and Tracker compared: peak kW, cost and how many panels power a Pressure Chamber and Stone Press by day. Night storage is unknown, and we say so.
- J.O.O.N.A.S. and catcher setupHow J.O.O.N.A.S. picks a Capsule Catcher, what the 100 m group and 80% rule mean, what to connect to the OUT port and why the dust per minute is still unknown.
- Conveyor throughputA conveyor lane carries at most 88 capsules per minute in the ideal model. How that becomes kg/min, how splitters and mergers behave, what is unknown and what a lane costs.
- Upgrade order and moneyWhere the money comes from in Moon Sweepers: prices per kg, the additive payout formula, economy upgrade costs and a payback method to order upgrades, with the unknowns flagged.
