Moon Sweepers Pressure Chamber: How It Works

Quick Answer

The Pressure Chamber is a processor placed after a Packager and conveyor. It accepts dust capsules and converts them into Moon Sand; it does not package loose dust itself.

Where does the Pressure Chamber sit in the chain?

Use this order: loose dust → Packager → conveyor → Pressure Chamber → output or sale route. Keep the first test line short enough to watch every transfer.

The Packager wiki explains the upstream machine, while the automation guide covers the complete system.

What output should you expect?

The supplied launch-period reference reported three units of Moon Sand per dust capsule. Because processing yields are economy values, confirm the current machine readout after patches before building a profit spreadsheet around that ratio.

Why is the chamber not accepting capsules?

Check four things in order:

1. The belt reaches the correct input side.
2. The chamber has power.
3. Output space is not blocked.
4. The capsule is the expected item type.

If capsules never leave the Packager, fix packaging first. If they stop at the chamber entrance, rotate or reconnect only the final belt segment before moving the entire machine.

Should you build more than one?

Add another chamber only when a sustained capsule queue reaches the first one. Empty belts mean processing is not the bottleneck. Parallel chambers work best with a visible splitter immediately before them and enough output capacity to clear both.
