Lunar Exchange in Moon Sweepers appears to increase the money earned from selling materials by adding an extra bonus on top of Market Contracts. This makes it an economy upgrade designed to improve your earnings without requiring you to collect more lunar dust. Here's how the bonus works and what it means for your sales.

What Does Lunar Exchange Do in Moon Sweepers?
Lunar Exchange is understood to provide an additional selling bonus, increasing the amount of money received when materials are sold.
For example, selling the same quantity of lunar dust would earn more money with the upgrade active than without it, assuming no other bonuses change.
Its benefit is tied to the value of your sales, not how quickly you clean the Moon or how much material your equipment collects.

Does Lunar Exchange Stack With Market Contracts?
Yes, according to the available explanation, Lunar Exchange adds to the existing Market Contracts bonus rather than replacing it.
That means purchasing Lunar Exchange after Market Contracts 3 gives you an additional increase in your total selling bonus.
Instead of having to choose between the two upgrades, their benefits combine to improve the amount earned from each sale.
The precise percentages still need confirmation, but the main purpose is straightforward: Lunar Exchange builds on the economy upgrades you've already purchased.
How to Check If Lunar Exchange Is Working
The simplest way to test Lunar Exchange is to compare the money received from two identical sales, one before purchasing the upgrade and another afterward.
- Sell a specific amount of lunar dust and note the payment.
- Purchase the Lunar Exchange upgrade.
- Sell the same amount of lunar dust again.
- Compare both payments to check whether the second sale earns more money.
Keep your other economy upgrades unchanged during the comparison. Purchasing additional Market Contracts upgrades between sales would make it harder to identify how much of the increase comes from Lunar Exchange.
If you've already purchased Lunar Exchange, an earlier recorded payout would be needed for the same comparison.
Is Lunar Exchange Worth Buying in Moon Sweepers?
Lunar Exchange is a useful upgrade to consider once you're regularly earning money from selling collected materials.
Increasing the value of each sale allows the same amount of cleaning work to generate additional income, helping fund future equipment and construction purchases.
Its potential benefit also becomes more noticeable as your operation grows and you begin selling larger quantities of dust.
However, without a confirmed purchase price and exact bonus, it's difficult to calculate how quickly the upgrade pays for itself.
If you've already invested in Market Contracts and want to improve your selling income further, Lunar Exchange is a logical next economy upgrade based on its described effect.
