Dune Awakening: 10 Building Tips I Wish You Knew Sooner

Removing the wrong wall can take part of your base with it—even when everything looks supported. These are the Dune Awakening building rules and advanced tips I wish I understood before I started building.

We cover how snapped connections affect stability, how to get more usable space from your land claim, and how to plan foundations, columns, floors and hanging walls without running out of support. I also walk through base layouts with the Solido Replicator and explain base, object and vehicle permissions so you know who can access, use or change what.

Whether you're planning a cliffside base or improving an existing build, the aim is to help you avoid expensive mistakes before you spend the materials.

Absolutely underrated video. This should be added to the tutorial/wiki. Great job!

FYI: You can use the base recycle feature to store mass amounts of materials in the reserve, like plastinium of building ores that have huge volumes.

Very informative, especially Guild layout

Great tips. I did not know hanging walls cost more stability than inclines. One more tip, South Hagga cooldown has reduced to 10s for backup.
Was quite proud of squeezing 6x6 into a basic footprint. Make tax havens great, again!
Also, the Atreides set has a 1x3 floor triangle good for reaching out far (plus the other special pieces, of course, but floors are low profile).

I take full advantage of the reserve. When the active base storage fills up, I make a new box full of containers and consolidate everything, bank and all to recycle. Including some hard solari for when I need to make staking units. I've taken a bit out, but it's currently sitting on 3,500 slots and over 200k volume in my back pocket.

Awesome vid, thumbs up oifc, tho as someone who started few days ago i understand almost nothing xd

Solido is a good tool for building a simple DD base since you have to break those down every week, especially since you can't use the base replicator in the DD. Unless you are in single player mode and then you don't have to worry about it.

NOTE; If you share Fabricator access, it will pull from the resources from storage you may be trying to save unless you setup circuits appropriately to prevent certain resources from being used.

Great vid! Did you use AI to create the info slides? they look so good!👍

I’d rather just build a new base I enjoy it

@Bivens2317 20 hours ago

What do you mean by make sure you don't see any blue at the 2:15 mark? I'm a solo campaign newbie and I've been trying to match the original sub fief area by filling it fully on screen with blue.

How is the performance of this game when you have large builds? I stopped playing Icarus because it couldn't handle my 'not even that big' 2 bases

@jeremypurdy1833 22 hours ago

Something I've not seen somebody say in their videos in regards to stability is that the arrow on the block is the stability direction. You can largely ignore this afaik for anything that is not a stability block. But for a stability block, if you're trying to do something intricate and every point of stability matters, then it's important to get that arrow pointing the right way.

I had issues making my own base before i paid attention to those arrows for stability blocks.

@leedex 17 hours ago

Stability theory is overrated. The game literally tells you, when you can’t build somewhere because of stability. Just use common sense, when you delete lower pillars, walls and foundations.

@Meta1ingus 22 hours ago

14:22 there's literally a tab next to storage that says "RESERVE" no need to use the drop down

@reikar2064 20 hours ago

I would recommend against building in the corner as you recommended, instead i would put down 4 blocks and use look as far down as you can and place the sub-fief at the cross section of those 4 blocks. I find this way much easier to do for the start position of my base
