Sweep The Moon Dust Processing: Machines and Lunar Converter

The Lunar Converter handles dust conversion and sales income for the entire crew. Crusher and Block Press are buildable dust-processing machines.

For Factory Floor, build either a Crusher or a Block Press; you do not need both.

  Buildable dust-processing machine

1. Unload collected dust at a SELL pad, including the SELL area beside the Lunar Converter.
2. Let the conveyor route carry unloaded dust to the converter.
3. The converter packages incoming raw dust into capsules.
4. The capsules travel out along a conveyor and sell, paying every crew member.

An empty container means unloading is complete, but payment can still be pending. Dust may still be traveling or waiting for conversion.

Open the converter menu and check the dust waiting for conversion. A queue that keeps building while dust arrives points to a processing bottleneck. Lowering Time per Dust helps the converter work through that queue sooner. For sale bonuses and other income choices, see the money guide.

1. Approach the Lunar Converter and press E to open its menu. Alternatively, press Tab, open UPGRADES → GENERAL, and find CONVERT TIME.
2. Check the current level, Time per Dust, and the next Cash upgrade price. The machine's menu also displays waiting dust.
3. Buy the upgrade when you have enough Cash. Prioritize further upgrades when delivered dust keeps accumulating at the converter.

Conversion time by level

Lower times mean less processing delay. At the maximum 18/18 level, Time per Dust displays Instant.

Cash upgrade prices

Each price below buys the listed level increase.

The Level 1, 6, 12, and 15 converter menus also include a Finish Now button priced at 5 Gems.

A damaged Lunar Converter stops processing dust. Restore it with the repair prompt:

1. Stand beside the damaged converter and find HOLD E TO REPAIR.
2. When repair is available, hold E.
3. Keep repairing until the repair-success notification appears. The converter can then resume processing.

If repairs are unavailable during an active Goblin Raid, wait for the goblins to retreat, then use the repair prompt. The damaged machine also displays an automatic-repair countdown, giving you another way for operation to resume if manual repair does not restore it.

Choose your next purchase according to where dust is waiting:

For unloading farther from base, use the conveyor guide to choose and extend a route with a remote SELL pad. To combine collection facilities with transport and processing, follow the automation setup guide.

Goblin attacks can damage the converter; the base defense guide covers fighting raids and waking Moon Guards. If your next goal is a construction achievement, see Factory Floor and the other badge requirements.
