In this guide, I show how to build the most efficient factory in Moon Sweepers. I explain the half-size and full-size factory layouts, how to connect conveyor belts and a garage, and how to maximize production with Stone Presses, Pressure Chambers, and Capsule Catchers.
Moon Sweepers Factory Layout Guide
I start with a compact factory layout and connect the machines in the correct order. Then I optimize the conveyor belts, add solar panels, and expand the factory for end-game production and J.O.O.N.A.S. builds.
The main bottleneck in this game is conveyor belts. I can connect only 12 conveyor belts to a single base, so the main goal is to optimize them to their maximum capacity.
Full-size factory
The build is very simple and compact:
2 Capsule Catchers -> 4 Pressure Chambers -> 8 Stone Presses
The splitter layout is important!
Half-size factory guide
1. Place the machines and splitters
I place all splitters, Stone Presses, Pressure Chambers, Combiners, and Capsule Catchers as shown in the screenshot.
Then I start with Combiners, then place Stone Presses, the first row of splitters, Pressure Chambers, the second row of splitters, the third row of splitters, and finally the Capsule Catcher.
2. Connect the sand conveyors
After that, I place conveyor belts to transfer sand between the machines.
3. Connect the dust conveyors
I place conveyor belts to transfer dust. I lift some of them using CTRL + mouse wheel to keep the conveyor layout compact.
4. Connect the export conveyors and place solar panels
To power the factory, I connect the export conveyors and place solar panels .
I recommend using at least two large solar panels per Pressure Chamber and Stone Press. I usually just spam solar panels without counting them.
For the full-size factory, I just copy and paste this build and merge the Stone Block conveyor.
Connecting the factory to a garage
One garage outputs two conveyor belts.
If I need to connect the factory to a garage, I swap one Capsule Catcher with a garage output. One garage can provide enough dust for a full-size factory.

End game and additional information
8 Stone Presses will fully load a conveyor belt.
I can scale the factory down during the early game and expand it later when I have enough resources.
The main benefit of this build is that it fully loads the Capsule Catchers and station conveyors.
Sometimes conveyor belts can glitch out, so I make sure to leave some distance between them!
The maximum-efficiency end-game build will look like this.
J.O.O.N.A.S. factory strategy
My recommendation is to build the first factory, connect it to the garage, and keep resupplying it.
Then I build another factory for J.O.O.N.A.S., or at least a half-size factory.
Once the first J.O.O.N.A.S. factory is fully loaded, I build the second one.
When the second J.O.O.N.A.S. factory reaches its maximum capacity, I disconnect the garage and connect two Capsule Catchers.
At this point, I just keep building more factories and J.O.O.N.A.S. units as much as possible.
