Base Building and Blueprint Economy
Dune Awakening BaseBuilding
Bases are essential for survival, crafting, and defense. Players can construct modular structures with automated systems, defend them with shield grids, and trade custom layouts using blueprints on the player-run economy.
Base Construction and Shelter
- Bases are built modularly using components like walls, doors, floors, crafting benches, and power sources.
- Protective Shields are required to defend your base from sandstorms. These shields consume Fuel Cells and last up to 20 real-world days per charge.
- Windtraps, Blood Purifiers, and Storage Units can be placed and expanded inside base structures.
- Each base can have an optional Garage to safely store vehicles and prevent decay during storms.
Automation and Circuits
- Circuit systems allow crafting stations to link via I/O ports, automating item transfers between containers and processors.
- Crafting benches can pull materials directly from nearby storage containers without manual input.
Base Economy and Blueprint System
- Entire base layouts can be saved as Blueprints and reconstructed later or shared with other players.
- Blueprints can be sold on the Exchange, allowing Architects to profit by designing and marketing base templates.
- Unique faction-based architectural styles are unlocked through House allegiance (e.g. Atreides-themed structures).
Maintenance and Taxation
- Larger bases are subject to Imperial Tax, requiring a regular payment or upkeep to maintain ownership and shield access.
- Power management becomes critical at larger sizes, requiring Fuel Cells to keep all stations and defenses running simultaneously.
Exchange and Player Trade System
- The Exchange is a player-run market where you can buy and sell Blueprints, Sinkcharts, and refined materials.
- Prices on the Exchange are dynamic, changing based on availability and demand across the server’s economy.
- Players who focus on the Architect role can earn solari by selling high-demand base blueprints to others.
- Sinkcharts found in the Deep Desert can be listed on the Exchange or copied and sold to other players within your World cluster.
- Each server has its own Exchange — they are not globally shared across all Worlds.
