Patch notes
What changed in 1.0.3–1.0.5 and what is planned for 1.1.
From toothbrush to factory
The first loop is straightforward: clean dust, turn it into money, then improve the tools that make the next collection faster. Vehicles extend that work, while conveyors and processing machines support an automated operation. J.O.O.N.A.S. robots can collect and deliver material to catchers. Follow the whole line to the deposit before adding machines: a full input is useful only if the output can move.
Playing with a crew
Steam lists single-player and online co-op for up to 16 people. Since update 1.0.3 the crew uses the host’s upgrade matrix and purchases upgrade the whole crew. Agree on shared priorities before spending, especially if different players are building separate lines.
Price and platforms
The US Steam price was $8.99 when checked on November 10, 2026. Prices vary by region. The official Steam listing identifies Windows; Linux or Steam Deck via Proton is a separate compatibility question, even though update 1.0.4 included a fix for an older Proton launch problem.
Is there a mobile version?
We have not found an official Android or iOS release from DragDrop Games. The developer’s store listing is for Windows. Same-name Google Play listings are not published by DragDrop Games and may be imitations; check the publisher and official channels before installing anything. This guide does not provide an APK.
Your first collection run
- Clean lunar dust and fill your storage. Your starting toothbrush is the beginning of the collection loop, not the only equipment available.
- Take the collected dust to a depot and launch a shipment to receive payment. The store description distinguishes collecting material from delivering and selling it.
- Use earnings on cleaning tools or carrying capacity. A larger load can mean fewer delivery trips; a better tool helps with collection. Choose based on which part of your run is slowing you down.
- As work moves farther away, consider placing a depot near the area you are cleaning. Vehicles offer another way to expand the operation.
Finding your way around
In 1.0.4, the Moon map gained options to set a waypoint, focus or teleport by right-clicking. It also shows robots and their current activity, with filters for robot types. A separate teleport panel lists discovered stations. These tools help a crew find its work area and travel between known stations; a station must be discovered before it appears in that panel.
The same update added night vision goggles as a suit upgrade. Press N to cycle between the helmet lamp, goggles and off. Suit indicators beside the dust gauge show the active lighting, jetpack boosts and gravity boots. Check those indicators when visibility or movement differs from what you expected.
Hosting and crew access
The host can manage players from Esc → Your Crew: the developer says this menu supports kicking, banning and unbanning. A banned player cannot rejoin that save until unbanned. Since 1.0.5, starting a public game or making a crew public displays a warning about what other players can do to the Moon. Read it before changing access, particularly in a world you have spent time building.
Co-op is online, not a confirmed local split-screen mode. If joining fails after an update, check that everyone is on the same game version before changing the world itself. Steam lists full controller support, but individual controls may differ from keyboard prompts.
How much of the Moon can you clean?
The store describes tracking cleaning progress across the lunar surface. The developers have also discussed plans for what comes after the Moon is clean, without revealing the details. Do not treat a proposed post-cleaning activity as a feature already available in version 1.0.5. For the announced release timeline, see the update overview.
