Players can collect lunar dust, sell it to fund upgrades, and expand their operations by purchasing better tools and vehicles. The game emphasizes cooperative play, allowing up to 16 players to team up online, though the developers note that 'whether everyone actually works is another matter'—a humorous nod to the game's realistic approach to teamwork.
