The ultimate aim in Moon Sweepers is to create your own automated factory that makes you profit without your active participation. In simple terms, I am talking about automation and making full use of it. Let’s say the total space on the moon is limited, and an efficient design is going to make things easier.
In this guide, I will discuss how you can setup the best automated factory in the best fashion possible.
Most efficient factory setup in Moon Sweepers
For this guide, you need to have access to all the endgame features. Until then, it’s best to do everything manually. For this setup, we will be using Capsule Catchers, Pressure Chambers, and Stone Presses. However, the aim is to maximize the efficiency of Conveyor Belts since you can connect at most 12 of them.
For our optimum setups, we will be using a system with two Capsule Catchers, four Pressure Chambers, and eight Stone Presses. However, let’s first understand how the method works by breaking down the size.
First, place the Capsule Catcher. For maximum efficiency, you want to use four bots for a singe catcher. Next, there will be two sets of Conveyor Belts from the Capsule Catcher.
Place two Pressure Chambers. As I said, there are two sets of Conveyor Belts from the Capsule Catcher: One for Dust, and one for Sand.
Put a Splitter at one of two Conveyor Belts connected to the Capsule Catcher. Draw two more belts from the Splitter and connect each to the Pressure Chambers. Now, the Capsule Catcher will send Dust to the Pressure Chambers and produce Moon Sand. We have one of our two key ingredients.
Next, place four Stone Presses. We will connect two Stone Presses with one Pressure Chamber. To do so, put a Splitter at the end of the Conveyor Belt that connects the two.
If I name my Pressure Chambers as PC1 and PC2 (suppose), Stone Press 1 and Stone Press 2 will be connected to PC1, and Stone Press 3 and 4 will be connected to PC2. Make sure that they’re connected to the correct paths (Sand must go to the terminals that accept Sand).
Now, put Splitters at the end of the Conveyor Belts that will deliver the Dust from the Capsule Catchers. Put the first Splitter to break the path into two paths, and one more on each to further split the two paths into four.
Each of these four belt paths will be connected to the Dust terminal of your Stone Presses. Now, your Stone Presses have Sand and Dust and it can produce Moon Stone. This has the best rate of returns in terms of profits.
Finally, use Mergers to combine the out path of all four Presses into a single Conveyor Belt that will be connected to your base.
For maximum efficiency, you’ll want to do this setup with two Capsule Catchers, four Pressure Chambers and Eight Stone Presses. The method remains the same, but the design is just going to be more complex.
