Lethal Company MOONS Command Guide

MOONS is not just a navigation command. It is a profit-risk routing tool that determines whether your team can scale into high quotas safely.

What MOONS Controls

MOONS manages your route options and determines which risk/reward profile your team faces next.

Better moon choices often matter more than small micro-optimizations inside a single run.

Use a phase-based approach so route decisions stay consistent under pressure.

Early quota phase: prioritize stable moons and clean extractions.
Mid quota phase: test selective higher-yield routes with disciplined teamwork.
High quota phase: commit to strong-value moons only when execution quality is proven.

Move up when your team can maintain survival rate and command discipline, not just because quota increased.

If communication or extraction quality drops, downshift route difficulty before your economy collapses.

Should we rush high-tier moons early?

Usually no. Early consistency is more valuable than unstable high-risk attempts.

How do I choose the next moon?

Compare quota pressure, team form, and expected route safety, then choose the moon with the best risk-adjusted value.

Can better routing replace better selling?

No. Routing and selling strategy must work together to clear high quotas reliably.
