Moon Sweepers Mods - What Exists and How to Install
Moon Sweepers only launched October 23, 2026 but the mod scene is already moving. Modding it takes one extra step most Unity games don't need - here are the mods worth installing and the one fix everything depends on.
The two ways to mod
| Path | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Moon Sweepers Mod Loader | The lightweight route - one-click installer, loads every mod .dll in the game's Mods folder. Required by Team Upgrades, Team Vehicles, Sleep, Logistics Fix and Full Refunds. |
| BepInEx 6 + patcher | Needed for plugin-style mods like Landmark Radar. Stock BepInEx fails on this game (see below) - you need the community patcher first. |
| Save editors | No loader at all - they edit your save file directly and survive game updates. |
The BepInEx problem everyone hits
Mods worth installing
| Mod | What it does |
|---|---|
| More Money - Save Editor | Adds any amount to your crew wallet by editing the save - no game files touched, survives updates, with automatic backup and one-click restore. |
| Landmark Radar | Flags landing sites, stations and surface distances with optional beams (BepInEx plugin - needs the patcher). |
| Team Upgrades / Team Vehicles | Extends upgrades and vehicles to co-op teammates (Mod Loader). |
| Logistics Fix | Patches the conveyor/merger behavior that Vanilla leaves broken for joining players (Mod Loader). |
| Full Refunds / Sleep | Quality-of-life: full refund on sales and a sleep option (Mod Loader). |
All of these live on the Moon Sweepers section of Nexus Mods - the scene is tiny (8 files at launch week) so the list is easy to keep up with.
Install notes that save you pain
- The loader installer isn't code-signed. Windows will show "protected your PC" - click More info → Run anyway.
- Close the game first. The installer finds Moon Sweepers through Steam and patches the startup to call the loader.
- After a game update, reinstall. Steam restores the original files, which silently switches mods off - rerun the installer (or use Steam's "Verify integrity" to remove mods cleanly).
- Co-op caveat: gameplay-altering mods can desync with unmodded teammates - the save editor is the only zero-risk pick for multiplayer.
FAQ
Are there mods for Moon Sweepers?
Yes - a small but real scene on Nexus Mods: a dedicated mod loader, save editors, radar and co-op fixes. About 8 files in launch week.
Do mods work in co-op?
Save editors are safe since they only touch your file. Gameplay mods can desync if the lobby isn't running the same setup - keep modded lobbies to modded friends.
Why won't BepInEx load my mods?
Unity 6000.6 / IL2CPP metadata 108 is newer than stock BepInEx supports. Install the MoonSweepers BepInEx Patcher first.
Can mods get me banned?
Moon Sweepers has no anti-cheat - mods are a co-op courtesy issue, not a ban risk. Still, modded gameplay changes can ruin a shared lobby's economy, so coordinate first.
