| Moon Sweepers 1.0.5 Patch | 2026-10-28 | Moon Sweepers 1.0.5 Patch Update 1.0.5 brings a much more flexible building system: build anywhere, build on, under and beside foundations, move what you've built, and machines that snap neatly onto foundations. It also fixes a freeze some players hit shortly after loading their world, makes J.O.O.N.A.S. spread its capsules over your catchers, reduces stutters in big bases and fixes a long list of bugs. BUILDING Build Anywhere: Every piece can now be built on dusty ground. The dust under it is pressed flat as it's built, so you no longer have to clean the ground first.

| Moon Sweepers 1.0.3 Patch | 2026-10-24 | Saves Heavily cleaned bases load again. Some big worlds looked corrupted and wouldn't load properly; the save files were fine, and they now load normally. Saves now protect themselves: a damaged save is repaired automatically as it loads, from its backup or a recent snapshot, and every save is checked before it replaces the previous one. You'll get a message if anything had to be repaired. Multiplayer Upgrades are shared: the whole crew uses the host's upgrade matrix, and anyone's purchase upgrades everyone. Older saves keep the highest level anyone had bought. Host controls: in the ESC menu, Your Crew lists everyone. The host can kick or ban |
