Sweep The Moon Tools: Prices, Upgrades and What to Buy

The shop's cleaning rates are listed in dust per second. Use them to compare the listings, while also considering the tool's upgrades, cooldown pauses and time spent emptying your container.

Cash purchases and Robux offers use different currencies. Galaxy Vacuum's 72 Robux current-run offer and 16 Robux offer labeled Galaxy Vacuum [2M] are separate purchase options.

• Toothbrush — start collecting immediately. It begins in hotbar slot 1. Equip it and click moon dust to earn your first Cash.
• Hand Brush — the best first purchase on a tiny budget. At 0.01 Cash, it raises the shop-listed rate from Toothbrush's 1 dust/s to 3 dust/s for very little spending.
• Lunar Shovel — choose it for layered dust. The 2 Cash purchase configuration clears 3 tiles and 3 layers per stroke, with a 0.75-second stroke interval. Its multi-layer digging makes it useful when repeated passes over thick dust are slowing you down.
• Push Broom — choose it to advance purchases and tutorial progress. It costs 3.75 Cash and unlocks Roller Sweeper. In the eight-quest tutorial, buying it also completes the Quest 3/8 purchase objective and advances to Buy Junk Hauler.
• Roller Sweeper — choose it to widen manual clearing. After buying Push Broom, spend 15 Cash on Roller Sweeper. Its width upgrades support broader passes, and its shop-listed rate is 16 dust/s compared with Push Broom's 8 dust/s.
• Turbo Vac — a Cash upgrade for players willing to manage cooldown. Its 800 Cash price buys a tool listed at 40 dust/s. Budget for upgrades that improve coverage, layer removal or recovery, according to what interrupts you most.
• Galaxy Vacuum — choose it for broad coverage if you accept Robux spending. The current-run option suits a push to clear a large area during that run, but the vacuum still pauses for cooldown.

Tool choice also works alongside your clearing technique. A closed path around a dust island can clear the enclosed dust; follow the island-breaking guide for the route and steps.

1. Enter the base's TOOLS area and approach the tool's display.
2. Use the E purchase prompt and complete the purchase with the required currency.
3. For Roller Sweeper, buy Push Broom first, then purchase Roller Sweeper.
4. Hand Brush, Push Broom and Roller Sweeper equip after purchase. Use the equipped tool on moon dust.

Press Tab → UPGRADES → TOOL. Compare the current value, next value and Cash price, then buy the upgrade that addresses your main clearing bottleneck.

• Stroke Speed: reduces the time between strokes. Choose it when waiting between swings slows your progress; a lower interval is faster.
• Sweep Width: increases tiles cleared per stroke. Choose it when you need more coverage across a broad patch.
• Power: increases layers cleared per stroke. Choose it when thick dust requires repeated passes over the same tiles.

Lunar Shovel upgrades

Roller Sweeper upgrades

Turbo Vac coverage and Power upgrades

Each price applies to the exact attribute transition shown. Turbo Vac's Overheat Time upgrades address a separate bottleneck, covered below. For movement, Luck and Sell Value choices, use the general upgrades guide.

Both vacuums have cooldown downtime. On Turbo Vac, Overheat Time means how long the tool stops, so reducing that value shortens the interruption.

Sweep Width and Power can already show MAX while an Overheat Time upgrade remains available. If recovery pauses are your main delay, spend on Overheat Time instead of looking for more width or Power.

If you own both Turbo Vac and Galaxy Vacuum, switch to the other vacuum while one recovers. This gives you another tool to use during a pause, though cooldown can still interrupt cleaning.

A full container needs a different response: empty the dust at a SELL pad. Waiting for the vacuum to cool down does not free carrying space.

The 72 Robux Galaxy Vacuum offer applies to the current run. The separate purchase option labeled Galaxy Vacuum [2M] lists 16 Robux. Choose the intended offer before completing the Robux purchase.

Buying Galaxy Vacuum does not activate unlimited storage. Your carrying limit comes from separate capacity equipment. If you also buy Infinite Capacity, go to its glowing orb at the base and equip it; the capacity limit changes to ∞ when active. The orb then offers E — UNEQUIP, which removes it.

For larger regular containers, Bag upgrades and capacity setup, see canisters and carrying capacity.

For capacity that lasts across moons, Infinite Canister is a separate permanent pass. It still requires emptying the canister at the intake to receive Cash. Compare its benefits with other game passes before choosing a permanent purchase.
