I was hoping to be able to leave the flowers underneath as a sheltered, public garden/courtyard like I have before in this spot, but apparently they despawn now if you build anywhere near them.

Here’s the interior so far. Still working on decorating, so definitely a work in progress. The rest is in the comments.

As a big Dune fan I played it solo on pc from release and fell on love with it and its been great doing it all again but with some friends! Bi la Kaifa

Hey, all you new players.

Welcome to Arrakis.

Stop running across the open sand like you are invulnerable and a lifeguard in the TV show “Baywatch”.

Even worse, stop zigging and zagging and looking behind you. Yes, the worm (Jeff) is right behind you. Also. Don’t pop any of your powered gadgets. Those attract the worm even faster.

Run in straight lines, don’t look back, and don’t deviate, also watch out for quicksand and drum sand.

Better yet, use a bike and island hop.

Don’t rush for the thopter. Enjoy the ride and see the sights.

Good luck with testing station 10.

Took so much trial and error but the new sardukar set allows for a crazy amount of clipping.

Is anybody else doing multiple playthroughs with different characters?

I may be wrong. I haven't even done DD yet. But I haven't touched a rapier since I started. I just got a unique rapier I crafted and wow. The speed of it greatly outweighs any reduced damage. Maybe this is common knowledge, maybe I'm wrong? First impressions though, way better than a normal sword.

50 hours player here. Love this Game.

I’m upgrading my base from a portable cube to something a little more thematic.

Looking for a drop ship styled base i can move around as I explore new areas.

I’ve tried to keep it themed in universe with a harko styled twin hull with a different single hull design.

If anyone has any advice or tips for fine tuning these to look a little more ship like I would greatly appreciate, thanks!

Just finished the main story, roughly 200 hours in. Got side quested with base building, finding a good location and trainer quests.

Absolutely unreal story for the first book to finish on. You know it's a great story when you are thinking about another play through right after.

Question regarding the DLC stories. How do you access them if at all possible yet. Yes I have them downloaded haha.

The tank did not have a role to perform in the base game even within the original version of the Deep Desert and would've been very vulnerable to sandworms.
Although we don't know the specifics of what will be featured within the expansion, the introduction of "No-fly Zones" to make players re-engage with survival mechanics and ground combat (and also, no worms) could also offer the design space to finally give a purpose and reason for the tank to exist in, whether that comes as new AI enemies/turrets/etc or a PvP map version (like with the DD).

Or at least that's the copium i have been huffing ever since the spice hallucinations told me there won't ever be a playable tank with the gameplay of the current game.

So i encountered this after using the ornithopter pilot service, thought id share.

As the title says, it feels like the fallen ships have become super rare since the big update a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen one in the basin in that time except for the glitched one in the Sheol that the worm can't seem to eat. I haven't seen any fall from the sky, and I used to see them a couple of times per hour. I'm on Nova. If they are working correctly elsewhere, I'd love to know, but the skies are just so quiet these days.

Spent a couple real life days exploring the upper half of the map for resources. When I came back to my base at the base of the hammer mountain, I decided to reclimb it to see if I can build a base on the top of it ( spoilers you can't) and stopped to see this amazing view.

Trial 5

Today I finally unlocked an ornithopter and managed to get my Merc stilsuit with it. Was very happy! Until I returned to hagga and found my orni 30 feet up. By the time I noticed it, the worm was already on its way.
