Beginner guide
Zone 1 first hour: toothbrush to Sell Pad, Hand Brush, capacity, island cuts, and the first UFO raid.
First session on Zone 1
Toothbrush to Sell Pad to Hand Brush.
Zone 1 is the whole first lesson: sell dust, buy a real brush, raise capacity, and learn the island cut. Everything else waits until that ring is clean.
Once Zone 1 is clean, Zones covers the next rings. Tool and bag prices sit on Upgrades.
- Start with the toothbrush. You spawn on Zone 1 of your Moon with a toothbrush. Click dust to sweep. Fill about ten dust, then look for the Sell Pad. That first dump pays about five cents. There is no sprint yet, so keep trips short.
- Sell on the pad. Walk onto the Sell Pad when the tank or backpack reads full. Yellow arrows and a SELL building mark the spot. Cash hits after the dump. Behind spawn, a small space station holds the gear shop for tools and capacity.
- Buy the Hand Brush. The Hand Brush costs about a cent and clears much faster than the toothbrush. Grab it before you sink cash into fancy tools. Then open TAB for upgrades: bag capacity, stroke speed, boots, luck, and Sell Value.
- Grow capacity before greed. Pan holds 50 Moon Rock. Bucket jumps to 125. Buy bags in order when the shop asks for the previous pack. Full tanks force long walks. Capacity fixes that before a wider broom does.
- Cut islands in the dust. Sweep a closed ring or cut a strip so a dust island sits alone. The middle collapses once it is cut off. Huge rings stall. Small islands clear faster than scraping every tile by hand.
- Survive the first UFO, then push Zone 1. When a UFO lands, take the ray gun from the hotbar, fight the aliens, grab the golden key, and open the chest before the ship self-destructs. The chest pays cash and can drop a small cleaning bot. Keep clearing Zone 1 until the barrier drops into Zone 2.
Capacity and Sell Value
Fix full-tank walks before buying flashy tools.
Open TAB early and put cash into Sell Value. Skip it and you grind longer for the same haul. GENERAL upgrades stay after you swap tools. TOOL upgrades need a repurchase on the new brush, so do not max a tool you are about to replace.
Island cuts
Ring the dust so the middle collapses.
Same idea as the first session: leave a small island, then let the middle drop. Big rings just stall.
UFO raid
Ray gun, golden key, and chest before the ship self-destructs.
Ray gun from the hotbar, clear the aliens, grab the golden key, open the chest before the ship blows. Cash for sure; sometimes a small cleaning bot.
Moon Guards
Wake a few before goblins wreck the converter.
Moon Guards sleep on the surface. Early ones wake for about $20; later ones cost more. Once awake they stay for the run. Wake a few before Goblin raids—goblins smash the converter and vehicles, and you cannot repair until they leave. Keep the ray gun.
Crew Robot Bay
$50 for floor robots that keep sweeping.
The CREW ROBOT BAY stand sells for $50 early on and docks floor robots that keep sweeping while you sell. Buy it when walking the haul eats more time than the sweep.
Meteor Merchant drones
Buy while the timer is up—Dust Vac, Nebula, Mothership.
Meteor Merchant pops in on a timer. Cash drones often say 1 left for you. Buy while the panel is open—it leaves when the countdown hits zero.
| Drone | Speed | Bin | Clean | Cost | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dust Vac DroneDRONE | 30 | 300 | 20/s | $28 | Flies over everything and vacuums as it goes. |
| Nebula DroneDRONE | 32 | 350 | 35/s | $57 | Vacuums a strip three times as wide as a Dust Drone. |
| Mothership DroneOP DRONE THIS RUN | 40 | 900 | 60/s | 99 Robux | Huge sweep, huge bin, and three mini drones that clean beside it. |
Bay trucks and Robux rides are on Upgrades.
Arcade
Lunar Blocks and Meteor Blaster for cash while it lasts.
ARCADE is a glass building that shows up for a while, then Leaves. Walk the white ramp in while it is up. Lunar Blocks (puzzle) pays poorly. Meteor Blaster (flight shooter) pays better.
FAQ
Where do I sell?
Walk onto the Sell Pad near the SELL building. Later conveyors add remote sell pads that feed the lunar converter.
What should I buy first?
Hand Brush, then Pan (50) or Bucket (125 Moon Rock capacity), then Sell Value. Hold fancy tools until you are not walking back every ten seconds.
Why did my tool upgrades reset?
Swap tools and you buy stroke and width again on the new one. GENERAL upgrades like Sell Value and luck keep working across swaps.
When does Zone 2 open?
When Zone 1 is cleared. The barrier fades. Do not dig for towers that sit past the wall until that happens.
What are rainbow dust patches?
Colored clusters that sell for more. Carve them out when you see them. One early patch can pay tens of dollars in starter money.
What is Meteor Merchant?
A timed shop that can sell drones. Cash reads from one panel: Dust Vac Drone $28 (Speed 30, Bin 300, Clean 20/s) and Nebula Drone $57 (32 / 350 / 35/s). Mothership Drone is 99 Robux THIS RUN (40 / 900 / 60/s with three mini drones). Buy before the close timer hits zero.
What is the Arcade?
A limited-time ARCADE building on the Moon. Play Lunar Blocks or Meteor Blaster inside for cash. Meteor Blaster pays more. It is not always there; walk in when the orange ARCADE sign is up.
