Moon Sweepers: what the Auto-Packer upgrade does

Quick answer

The Auto-Packer upgrade makes your cleaning tool pack a capsule at your feet when its container fills. It doesn't carry or sell the capsule, so players call it skippable; a garage packs dust and sends it down a belt without the upgrade.

What it does

The upgrade's card says that when a container fills while you clean, the tool packs a capsule at your feet by itself. Players report that's all it does: you still have to collect each capsule, and one says it hides the moment you'd otherwise notice you're full. Nobody in the 21-reply thread names a use they rely on, and several wish a robot collected the capsules. Kingy hasn't tested it.

What players use instead

Players say a garage does the job the name suggests: unload the dust there and it packs capsules, and you can run a belt from it to your base to sell them. They say that works without buying the upgrade.
