Moon Sweepers Day-Night Cycle and Auto-Sell
Players who timed a Moon Sweepers day put it at about one hour. Auto-selling is a conveyor into the main hub, not a menu toggle. DragDrop Games has not confirmed either number in a patch note, because there are no patch notes yet.
Power and the long day
The store description says facilities need power. The Steam screenshots show long rows of solar panels. Players say those panels turn to follow the light by themselves. There is no published wattage for a panel or a machine, so I am not going to rank a “best” solar layout.
How players auto-sell dust
The path repeated on the board: build a garage, use the port beside it to pull dust off the vehicle, and run a conveyor into the main hub. Dust that reaches the hub sells without you standing there. The vending machine has a side port for a belt too. If you skip the belt, you press E and F at the machine.
That path is for dust. Stone and sand on a belt do not auto-sell, according to a separate bug report. Containers can also reach a port and never get counted. Both problems were still open on October 24.
Selling faster means more machines and more belts, not a bigger garage alone. A player with a 1,200-capacity vehicle still got stuck behind a slow belt.
- Garage port pulls dust off the vehicle.
- Belt into the hub sells dust.
- Vending-machine side port is the belt alternative to E+F.
- Stone and sand do not take the auto-sell path.
- Host should place mergers if clients cannot.
Questions
How long is a day in Moon Sweepers?
About one hour, from two player sources. The developer has not published a cycle length.
Can I sell while I am out sweeping?
Players say a belt into the hub sells dust without you at the machine. Stone and sand are the exception they reported.
Do solar panels need to be rotated?
Players say panels track the light on their own. Other buildings do not rotate after you place them.
