- Totally Safe Moon Project end of the world is a co-op chaos scenario where a meteor forces your team to build a tower to the moon.
- Grab upgrades early: care packages unlock heavier lifts like cars, houses, and clouds.
- Watch the 90 m wind layer and unlock oxygen totems before climbing into thin atmosphere.
- Alien UFOs will abduct players and destroy structures — spread out ziplines and railings.
- You must touch the moon to finish the run; unconscious teammates can still be carried.
End of the World Scenario Overview
The Totally Safe Moon Project end of the world scenario drops your crew into a quiet suburban neighborhood on what is very literally the last Tuesday before impact. A giant meteor hangs in the sky, and the only reasonable response — at least according to this game — is to stack cars, fences, buses, houses, and eventually clouds into a tower tall enough to reach the moon.
Video Highlights:
- A four-player crew organizes into builders, gatherers, and structural engineers
- Upgrades allow lifting progressively heavier objects, from fences to entire houses
- UFO abductions, meteor showers, and oxygen loss threaten the run
- Ziplines become the main logistics network between ground and tower top
- The team finally touches the moon — with fireworks, chaos, and one unconscious friend
The scenario tracks progress with a distance meter (for example, 67 out of 95 at mid-run), shown on screen with white dots representing your team and the moon at the top. Reaching it is a pure construction and coordination challenge rather than a combat mission, but the world actively fights back the higher you climb.
You must physically touch the moon with a character to complete the scenario. Building near it is not enough — plan your final ramp or platform so someone can actually make contact, and remember one wrong opening can lead straight into space.
Map, Object Weight, and Upgrade Tiers
Everything in the neighborhood is a potential building material, but weight gates what you can lift. Care packages delivered by drones grant lifting upgrades, and each tier opens dramatically better materials.
| Tier | Example Objects | Lift Requirement | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fences, small debris, signs | Starting strength | Base platform filler |
| 2 | Cars, blue sedans | Early upgrade | Railings, wide surface coverage |
| 3 | Buses | Mid upgrade | Flat, square, easy-to-stack blocks |
| 4 | Houses, churches | Late upgrade | Mass and stable vertical mass |
| 5 | Clouds | Top upgrade | Lightweight high-altitude material |
Breaking a care package may destroy the upgrade inside. Hit drones carefully or catch them intact — "grab, don't break" is the rule when the survival of the human race depends on the contents.
Notable map objects worth planning around:
- The garage spawn device labeled "bring to the moon" — too heavy until late upgrades
- A church — large, stackable, and comedically symbolic when it falls
- A plane parked at the edge of town — excellent late-game mass
- Clouds — pickable at max upgrade, ideal near the wind layer where houses are wasteful
Step-by-Step Route to the Moon
Establish a Home Base
Claim the gas station roof or garage area as your staging point. Break nearby fences for starter material and assign roles: builders, gatherers, and at least one structural engineer for railings.
Farm Care Package Upgrades
Watch for drones with care packages. Build ramps up to them or knock them down carefully — each intact package unlocks a heavier lifting tier, which is the single biggest progression spike in the run.
Build the Core Tower
Stack cars and buses in a stable column, reserving houses for mass. Flatten surfaces where possible — buses are square and far easier to level than cars. Replace early ramps with bigger ones as upgrades arrive.
Deploy the Zipline Network
Purchase ziplines and anchor them between the ground, mid-tower, and summit. A good zipline system moves materials (and players carrying entire houses) faster than climbing, and it is your evacuation route when things collapse.
Survive the Upper Atmosphere
Above roughly 90 m a constant wind blows and oxygen becomes limited. Buy oxygen totems, place them at intervals on the tower, and keep clouds in reserve as light building material near the summit. Send one player to physically touch the moon to finish.
Fall damage can be toggled on or off. In this scenario it was left on, and multiple players died from falls or oxygen loss. Decide as a group before starting; the scenario is chaotic enough without surprise fall deaths.
Threats: Aliens, Meteors, and Oxygen
The end of the world is not a passive backdrop. Three threat types will interrupt your construction:
UFO Abductions
- Aliens grab players and throw them off the tower
- UFOs destroy structures on attack runs
- Counter with goo guns and spread-out zipline anchors
Meteor Showers
- Direct hits can kill instantly
- Destroy ziplines and cloud platforms
- Keep repair materials cached at mid-tower
Oxygen Loss
- Triggered at high altitude
- Characters pass out rather than die instantly
- Unconscious players can be carried by teammates
| Threat | Warning Sign | Damage Type | Best Counter |
|---|---|---|---|
| UFO abduction | Aliens visible in sky | Player displacement | Goo gun, stay near cover |
| Meteor shower | Falling streaks | Instant kill, structure damage | Oxygen totem + repair stockpile |
| Oxygen depletion | HUD oxygen warning | Unconsciousness | Totems placed every ~20 m above 90 m |
One well-placed UFO run or meteor can collapse an entire zipline empire. Anchor each line independently so losing one route does not strand your summit crew — being trapped at the top with no oxygen and no way down is the most common run-ender.
Team Roles and Coordination Tips
The successful runs we have seen all converge on the same role split, usually discovered mid-argument about who threw a truck at whom.
| Role | Responsibilities | Key Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Gatherer | Collects care packages, hauls cars/houses | Upgrade priority, drone timing |
| Builder | Stacks the main tower column | Flattening, ramp replacement |
| Structural Engineer | Railings, safety floors, bus platforms | Surface coverage, gap repair |
| Logistics (late) | Zipline purchase and anchoring | Route planning, oxygen totem placement |
Practical coordination notes:
- Railings save lives. Cars make better railings than fences because they cover more surface area per piece.
- You can pick up objects while someone stands on them — and accidentally throw teammates off. Communicate before grabbing.
- Houses can be ziplined whole. A player carrying a house can ride a zipline, making the gatherer role dramatically faster.
- Someone will panic-click. Accept it, apologize for the bus now in the mountains, and rebuild.
Teams that keep morale high through abductions and collapsed towers recover faster than teams that fragment into solo projects. Assign tasks out loud, thank your railing builder, and remember: comedy heals all — the rubber chicken tool exists for a reason.
Run Completion Checklist
Scenario Milestones:
- Establish home base and assign the three core roles
- Collect at least three lifting upgrades from care packages
- Build a stable tower past the 90 m wind layer
- Deploy a zipline network with at least two independent routes
- Place oxygen totems from mid-tower to the summit
- Have one player physically touch the moon
A few extra summit notes before you launch fireworks: check where your final platform openings lead, because one of them opens directly into space. Verify every summit crew member has oxygen before the final push, and if someone passes out on the moon, they can still be dragged to a totem — unconscious is not dead in this scenario.
FAQ
Q: What is the goal of the Totally Safe Moon Project end of the world scenario?
Your team must build a tower from a suburban neighborhood all the way to the moon and have a player physically touch it before the meteor impact. It is a co-op construction challenge with alien, meteor, and oxygen hazards layered on top.
Q: How do lifting upgrades work?
Care packages delivered by drones grant new lifting tools. Each upgrade raises your maximum object weight, unlocking progressively larger materials: cars, then buses, then entire houses, and finally clouds. Collect them intact — broken packages may lose their contents.
Q: What happens above 90 meters?
A constant wind layer begins around 90 m and oxygen becomes limited. You need oxygen totems placed along the tower, and lightweight materials like clouds become more practical than houses at that altitude.
Q: Can you die in this scenario?
Yes, if fall damage is enabled. Players in reference runs died from falls, direct meteor hits, and oxygen depletion. Unconscious players can be carried by teammates, so a blacked-out crew member is not necessarily a lost one.
Q: Why do aliens keep attacking the tower?
UFOs periodically appear and abduct players or destroy structures, including ziplines and platforms. Spreading out your zipline anchors and keeping repair materials cached at mid-tower is the most reliable defense.
