Sweepy Dock is a building which makes and charges Sweepy and collects debris from Sweepy. A Sweepy Dock needs 25 kg Refined Metal to make a Sweepy. If a Sweepy Dock is destroyed, its Sweepy explodes and drops part of the dock's metal. A Sweepy will pick up any item, bottled liquids, and mop any liquids. It will collect up to 10kg of the material it sweeps.

The Dock only draws power while Sweepy is charging. Materials that Sweepy collects are placed in the dock when Sweepy visits it and can be accessed by duplicants once deposited.

Tips

Sweepy is most useful when placed in areas where items are frequently dropped, or liquid spills are common, such as the bottom of very tall ladders or scraps of Food left in the mess hall.
A Sweepy will not open closed doors and cannot jump gaps or climb ladders. This can be used to manipulate its navigation path.
- He can pass though 1-tile high gaps to remove debris and spills from areas that Duplicants can't access.
A Sweepy collects up to 10 kg of debris each time it visits a tile. If there is more than 10 kg of debris on a single tile, it will need multiple passes to sweep it all.
An auto-sweeper can empty the solids from a Sweepy Dock, but not liquids. Liquids can only be manually removed by dupes.
It is not considered Industrial Machinery and can thus be built on rooms which forbid it such as the Great Hall.
Sweepy will not travel further than 30 tiles to either side of its dock.
