Comparison
| Vehicle | Cost | Hopper | Sweep | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Push Sweeper | $300 | 100 kg | ≈ 1.35 m | First vehicle |
| Ride-on Sweeper | $1,000 | 500 kg | ≈ 2 m | Early-mid collector |
| Crew Transport | $2,000 | — (transport only) | — | Exploration / co-op travel |
| Lunar Sweeper | $2,500 | 1,200 kg | Three brushes | Mid-game workhorse |
| Mega Vacuum Rover | $6,000 | ≈ 3,000 kg base (≈ 4,000+ upgraded) | 4 m front intake, up to +75% with Suction Control | End-game collector |
All vehicles need a Garage ($200). One garage serves every vehicle you own.
Which vehicles are worth it?
Skip the Push Sweeper unless your broom is still weak. A 55 kg Extra Wide Broom with Long Reach clears hexes about as fast, and the $500 for garage + sweeper is better spent on a Pressure Chamber and solar tracker, which triples the value of everything you collect from then on.
The Lunar Sweeper ($2,500) is the first big jump: three brushes and a 1,200 kg hopper. The Mega Vacuum Rover ($6,000) is the one to save for — most runs go straight from broom or Lunar Sweeper to the Mega Rover and use it until JONAS robots take over. The Crew Transport ($2,000) does not clean at all, but it is by far the fastest way to explore, so buy it when the flag hunt begins.
Garage upgrades
Upgrades are per vehicle and do not transfer, so invest in the vehicle you are keeping.
| Upgrade | Effect |
|---|---|
| Tuned Motors | Retuned wheels: higher top speed and faster acceleration. |
| Big Hopper / Bigger Hopper | Increases dust tank size (the Mega Vacuum Rover gains about +30% per step). |
| Turbo Kit | Stronger boost (Shift) — around 150% of cruising speed. |
| Cruise Control | Press C to hold your speed without holding W. Essential for long lanes. |
| Suction Control | Unlocks higher suction settings: a wider cleaning strip at the cost of top speed. |
| Lights / Floodlights | Brighter headlights (L) for the long lunar night. |
| Quick Release | Unloads the hopper faster when you park at the garage chute. |
Driving, suction & unloading
- F enters and exits. Switch the brushes or suction on after getting in — vehicles start with cleaning off.
- Shift boosts, C toggles cruise control (after the upgrade), L toggles lights.
- Mouse wheel changes the Mega Rover's suction: Eco, Normal, High, Max and Full. Higher suction = wider strip, lower top speed.
- Unload by parking in the Garage bay; the hopper empties into the chute and out of the garage's output.
- You can recall any vehicle you own from the Garage menu, wherever you left it.
- Press M while driving for a high overhead view — you can keep steering in it, which is ideal for lanes and spotting flags.
