Selling and income
Money comes from selling dust, sand and moon stone at the Collector or at any station's deposit intake, from cleared regions ($10 each), untangled flags ($100 each), surveyed lunar sites ($250 each) and vehicle tricks. Each kilogram launched at the Collector pays $1 times its value, times the crew's payout multiplier: sand is worth 3x dust and moon stone 7x. The crew shares one wallet, which starts at $0.
