Sweep The Moon Radio Towers and Big Digger Cash Bonuses

Last updated:

Radio towers increase the Cash your whole crew earns from sales. Clear their surroundings, pay to light them up, and prioritize the towers that give the biggest bonus for your budget.

Landmark Prices and Crew Bonuses

Each activated radio tower adds its bonus to every crew member's Cash from each sale. Big Digger also provides a crew Cash bonus after purchase.

These are shared benefits, so funding a tower helps the crew beyond the player who activates it. See co-op and shared income for other shared purchases.

Clear and Activate a Radio Tower

  1. Clear the Moon Dust immediately around the tower. If its marker says CLEAN THE DUST HERE FIRST, keep clearing around its base. You can use a cleaning vehicle to clear South-West's surroundings.
  2. Approach the tower's purchase prompt with enough Cash for activation. At South-West Radio Tower, press E at the LIGHT UP prompt. Use the displayed purchase prompt at East and North-West.
  3. Pay the activation price. The tower lights up, and its bonus takes effect for crew sales.

East Radio Tower is gray before activation. Match the landmark's displayed name to the tower you intend to buy; the locations guide also covers directional landmarks and nearby facility signs.

Which Landmark Should You Fund First?

  • Prioritize East and South-West when you can reach them. They have identical prices and bonuses, so choose the more convenient one first. Each costs much less than North-West or Big Digger while giving a larger individual Cash bonus.
  • Treat North-West as a later purchase. Its additional +0.03x costs 3,000 Cash, making it a smaller gain for a much larger investment than either 75-Cash tower.
  • Save Big Digger for a larger budget. Its +0.05x crew bonus costs 10,000 Cash. For an early Cash bonus, the two cheap towers are the stronger choice.

With East and South-West active, the LANDMARKS total is +0.2x. Adding North-West brings the three-tower total to +0.23x. Those numbers already include the active towers: North-West adds +0.03x, not another +0.23x.

Tower bonuses apply to sales. For other ways to improve earnings, compare selling and income upgrades or Solar Panels and Oxygen Garden before committing a large amount of Cash.

Big Digger's Purchase Bonus

Big Digger costs 10,000 Cash and provides +0.05x Cash for all crew members after purchase. Consider it a later investment when you have the budget for another team bonus. If you are choosing purely for the Cash bonus, fund reachable East and South-West towers first: either one gives twice Big Digger's listed bonus at a far lower price.
