Base building in Moon Sweepers revolves around a strict mechanical bottleneck: each base supports a maximum of 12 conveyor belt connections. Because you cannot simply run endless parallel lines, optimizing factory throughput requires fully saturating every individual input and output port.
The 2-4-8 Production Ratio
The most efficient, compact arrangement utilizes a 2-4-8 machine ratio to push transport belts to their absolute bandwidth limits:
- 2 Capsule Catchers
- 4 Pressure Chambers
- 8 Stone Presses
By routing four Pressure Chambers into eight Stone Presses, the output belts become the governing bottleneck. Saturating belt capacity ensures no conveyor connection port on your central base is wasted on underutilized transport lines.
Early-Game Progression & Garage Integration
Before you possess the resources for a full late-game installation, deploy this blueprint at half scale. Building a smaller 1-2-4 footprint allows you to maintain clean ratios during early progression while reserving room for physical expansion later.
You can seamlessly connect this scaled-down production line directly to your garage. The core rule remains the same: ensure all active input and output lanes stay completely saturated to avoid idle transport bandwidth.
Late-Game Maximum Efficiency Build
Transitioning into the endgame requires scaling up to the full production layout. Running the complete 2-4-8 configuration pushes both incoming and outgoing conveyor lines to peak capacity across your base ports.
To support this high-density manufacturing grid, integrate Solar Panels directly into the perimeter to guarantee consistent power across all machinery.
Mastering Factory Throughput
Success in Moon Sweepers hinges on working within the strict 12-conveyor limit rather than fighting it. Utilizing a compact 2-4-8 machine architecture guarantees maximum throughput per connection, providing an easy progression path from a halved early setup into a fully powered endgame factory.
