Moon Sweepers Achievements Guide: All 33 and Fastest Order

Six Trackers, Thirty-Three Achievements

Every achievement in the game watches one of six counters. Knowing which counter you are feeding is most of the strategy, because most of them advance at the same time whether you think about them or not.

The one-time actions are the achievements people actually miss, because they require a specific act rather than more of the same work. The rest are thresholds on counters you cannot avoid.

The Ten One-Time Actions

These fire once and never again. Two of them need gear, one needs automation, and one needs another human being.

Four of these — vehicle, conveyor, loop, and friend — are the ones players reach the late game without, and the multiplayer guide covers the lobby setup the last one needs. If you are chasing completion, treat them as a checklist rather than a hope; the friend requirement is the only achievement a solo player cannot earn alone, as the solo comparison explains.

The Hidden Achievement: It'll Get There Eventually

The requirement is a closed circuit, not a delivery. Moving dust toward a depot on a single belt line does not count, and that is the mistake most players make.

The reliable method:

1. Progress until conveyor belts are available to build.
2. Find or clear a flat area with room for a small rectangle.
3. Lay belts in a square, making sure the last segment connects back to the first.
4. Feed a capsule into the loop.
5. Watch it travel the full circuit without exiting toward a depot.

Test on a small loop. A four-belt square is easy to inspect; a factory-scale line is not, and a single misaligned joint stops the whole thing silently. This is the same failure mode as a stalled production line — belts must snap exactly to their ports, and a partially connected junction transfers nothing.

Efficiency Order

The rule that saves the most time: do not grind one counter at a time. A single sweeping session advances dust collected, sections cleaned, and Moon coverage simultaneously. A single sale run advances deposits, launches, and lifetime earnings. Stack work and the achievements arrive together.

Phase six is where the grind lives, and it is where automation stops being optional. The progression guide and dust farming guide both describe machines that keep cleaning sectors while you are elsewhere — which is the only realistic route to five-figure section counts without playing for months.

Where the Counters Conflict

Two pairs of counters pull in opposite directions, so decide which you care about before optimizing.

Deposit count versus income. The deposit chain runs to 10,000 deposits. Small, frequent drops inflate that counter, while batched launches maximize money per trip. You cannot maximize both: if the deposit achievements are your goal, make partial drops deliberately.

Earning versus spending. Lifetime earnings and lifetime spending are tracked separately, and the spend chain requires the money actually leave your balance. Reaching $1,000,000 earned does not give you $1,000,000 spent. Plan a deliberate spend-down — tools, vehicles, structures — after the earning milestone rather than hoarding for a number that no achievement rewards.

What the Global Stats Say

Valve publishes unlock percentages, and they are a useful reality check on how long this list is. A snapshot taken two days after launch:

This is one snapshot from one outlet, and launch-week percentages drift upward. Read it as a shape: the first hour is nearly universal, a first vehicle is a majority experience, and the top of the list is a very small club. If you have a vehicle and a belt running, you are past the median player.

One Number to Distrust

Map guides sometimes quote a total sector count in the six figures, while the achievement thresholds top out at 10,000 sections and no official source states a total. Finish regions you can see instead of planning a route around a number that no two sources agree on.
