Mooncrash can be completed with just 3 resets and 1 scripted death, here’s how. This is most efficient way to complete the game, and is probably the best way to speed run.

The only death
Notes:
- Stash weapons, health and neuromods in 3 crates next to crater enterance and in the Mule for next character.
- This will mean you will rarely need to spend sim points (I finish the game with well over 150,000 sim points in the bank).
- Only buy Q-Beam cells, Artax jet pack and Q-Beam and Time.Loops. Q-Beam cells and Q-Beam will only need to be bought if you’re very unlucky, you’ll probably find all you need in the simulation.
- You can keep the simulation at level 3 for an incredibly long time by assembling Time.Loops in simulation and buying Time.Loops out of the simulation. All large enemies drop Time.Loops
- All of your secondary KASMA objectives like finding chipsets, scanning enemies and installing neuromods can easily be completed during this run. They will mostly be completed as Joan and Riley
- You will spend the majority of the game as Joan clearing out areas for subsequent characters.
- 14 Neuromods are needed for Phantom Genesis II which is needed for Riley’s upload escape.
- You can save scum by pressing Alt + F4 on death (I only did this when I got stuck on some geometry in the crater. The mining machine between Moonworks and Pytheus labs is incredibly easy to get stuck on if you try to climb it to get the engineering crate!
