Sweep The Moon Vehicles: Prices, Unlocks and Best Uses

Cleaning Rover, Dust Carrier and Cleaning UFO purchases last for the current run only, including their listed alternative currency options. Spending Gems or Robux on these vehicles does not turn them into permanent unlocks. See Gems spending choices before using that currency on a vehicle.

Compare specifications at the same upgrade stage. Starting specifications describe the initial vehicle; upgraded configurations describe later performance. An offered next value requires the listed upgrade purchase. Battery duration means driving time in seconds, not time spent charging.

Buy vehicles at their bays after meeting their purchase requirements.

• Junk Hauler: Bring 10 Cash. Buying it is the vehicle objective in tutorial quest 4/8.
• Cleaning Rover: Reach its 15,000 Dust Cleaned target. Its purchase options are 320 Cash, 25 Gems or 80 Robux.
• Turbo Sweeper: Buy Cleaning Rover first and reach the displayed 28,000 Dust Cleaned target.
• Dust Carrier: Buy Turbo Sweeper first. Its purchase options are 4,600 Cash, 95 Gems or 240 Robux.
• Cleaning UFO: After the unlock notification appears, go to its bay to purchase it for 20,000 Cash or 150 Gems.

The Rover → Turbo Sweeper → Dust Carrier sequence matters when planning purchases: saving for Dust Carrier alone does not satisfy its vehicle prerequisite.

• For a small starting budget, choose Junk Hauler. Its 10-Cash price gets you into vehicle cleaning early, with a dust bin separate from your personal container.
• For the next purchase stage, choose Cleaning Rover. Its starting setup carries 1,000 dust and clears a lane two tiles wide, removing two layers per pass. Drive through dust to clean automatically; clicking is unnecessary.
• For progress toward Dust Carrier, buy Turbo Sweeper. It satisfies the Carrier's vehicle prerequisite and offers larger storage configurations: 3,500 dust in its first driving configuration and 5,000 in the upgraded configuration where Bin Size reads MAX.
• For fewer interruptions from full bins, choose Dust Carrier. Its unlimited storage and converting hopper suit long cleaning stretches. It still consumes battery power, and dust conversion can take time; unlimited storage does not mean instant Cash.
• For rocks and hills, choose Cleaning UFO. Its hovering movement and downward beam let you clean across terrain that would otherwise shape your driving route.

If carrying capacity is already comfortable, spend toward the movement or cleaning capability you need. If full bins keep interrupting work, storage and unloading access are the more useful priorities.

Choose Cleaning UFO for terrain clearance and broader starting coverage. Choose Dust Carrier for storage and conversion.

The UFO starts with wider coverage and more layers removed per pass, but its finite bin makes unloading access part of the decision. Plan a route to a SELL pad or an available Dust Carrier. Conveyor SELL pads can bring an unloading point closer to your cleaning area.

The two vehicles can also complement each other: use the UFO to reach awkward terrain and Dust Carrier as an unloading destination. Compare any upgraded vehicle against the configuration you would actually buy or drive, rather than treating later upgrade values as starting performance.

Approach a ready vehicle and press E — DRIVE. Drive through dust to collect it, and press F to get out. Watch the vehicle's own bin and battery indicators while working.

Empty finite bins at a supported SELL point when full. Recharge before a low battery interrupts your route. Open Tab → Upgrades → Vehicles to improve the attribute holding you back. Follow the vehicle unloading, charging and upgrade guide for the full operating steps and upgrade choices.

Head Start supplies a paid, ready-to-drive walk-behind sweeper in the first empty bay once per moon. Your crew can drive it too. If every bay already contains a vehicle, it supplies no vehicle that moon.

Sell As You Sweep makes vehicles you drive pay as they clean, removing trips made just to cash in; you still return to shop. Compare these benefits in the game pass guide.
