Sweep The Moon Robots: Crew Bay, Prices and Deployment

Get shared Robot Vacuums through Crew Robot Bay outside the base. For individually deployable robots, buy Scrap Grabber, Dust Filter Walker, Comet Crawler, or Sweep Buddy when Meteor Merchant stocks them. Alien Robot can be discovered after a UFO encounter; Scrub Rover starts cleaning once deployed from your hotbar.

Meteor Merchant stays for 240 seconds, with stock tracked separately for each player. Purchased robots enter your hotbar. See the Meteor Merchant guide for the shop's stock, currencies, and purchasing details.

Any crew member can spend their own Cash to add a shared robot. Each upgrade adds one Robot Vacuum, and the bay holds up to eight robots.

1. Approach Crew Robot Bay outside the base.
2. Press E to open the Robot Vacuum menu.
3. Choose UPGRADE and pay the price for the next robot.
4. Let the new robot work automatically; no hotbar placement is needed.

The menu also offers a 10 Gems upgrade option, including the upgrade from five robots to six. Use that option when it is available and you have enough Gems.

Each Robot Vacuum seeks the nearest dust, collects it, returns to the dock, and sells its load. Every load pays the whole crew, so one player's purchase supports everyone's income. To combine robots with other facilities, follow the automation setup guide.

For a merchant robot or another deployable robot already in your hotbar:

1. Select the robot's hotbar slot.
2. Aim at a dust-covered area and click to place it.
3. Continue playing while the robot cleans.

To cancel before placing it, press the same hotbar slot again. This exits placement mode.

For Scrub Rover, “Scrub Rover is on the job” confirms that deployment succeeded.

• Shared automatic income — Crew Robot Bay. Choose Robot Vacuums when you want collection and selling handled automatically for the whole crew. The first robot costs $50.
• Budget cleaning — Comet Crawler. Prefer it over Sweep Buddy when both are available: it costs less while offering higher listed movement speed, capacity, and cleaning rate. That makes it the stronger basic cleaning purchase on those attributes.
• Broad coverage — Dust Filter Walker. Choose it for cleaning a large area around itself. Its slow movement suits this coverage-focused role, while its larger bin supports collecting more dust before filling.
• Crystal search — Scrap Grabber. Choose it specifically for its priority of searching for crystals before cleaning. Buy it from Meteor Merchant and use the hotbar placement steps above.
• An available alternative — Sweep Buddy. Consider it when Comet Crawler is unavailable and you want another robot to sweep dust automatically.

For the full comparison of the four Cash-priced merchant robots, see the merchant robot tier list.

Luck in General upgrades improves the separately labeled rare-ore bonus in dust. Use Scrap Grabber for crystal-priority behavior and Luck upgrades for that rare-ore bonus.

Alien Robot

Alien Robot can be discovered after a UFO encounter and added to your hotbar. Once you have it, select its slot and place it on moon dust to clean the surrounding area automatically. For the encounter's combat, key, chest, and escape steps, use the UFO event guide.

Robot Dock

The +1 Robot Dock pass costs 149 Robux and permanently lets you place one small Robot Dock for free in every moon you play, including a friend's moon. Its robots clean for the whole crew.

Pick up the dock to place it again for free. This is a separate placeable facility from the Crew Robot Bay, where you buy additional shared Robot Vacuums. Compare the pass with other permanent benefits in the game pass guide.
