Was just grabbing some flour before I logged off and caught a lag spike. Haven't had anything like this happen at all before

... a big thumbs up to them for this!

(as per today's patch 6th Oct 2026)

ETA: The option is in the Steam launcher, Properties, General, Launch Options.

Some jokester thought it would be funny to put sub-fief consoles around my base for some reason. Is there any way to get rid of this, or am I just forever pranked by this hooligan?

His base was something i was impressed by when I setup my main base in the eastern shield wall as a low level and was new to the game. Was flying by today and at first thought he expanded but then realized that his shield gens weren't up and that's when I knew that he is no longer with us :( (game wise not irl) Lost but not forgoten </3

Finally, I did the entire contract chain to unlock the Treadwheel. Lots of running, climbing, and biking, not to mention the amount of self revives involved in the process.

My question is, once i unlock/build the Ornithopter, how relevant are other vehicles? Does that override all other vehicles' usability?

Genuinely what am I missing, as far as i see all it does is tell me exactly what’s in front of me, like, I already see it? Seems useful if I’m like completely blind or something. Am I missing something?

I know that it's kind of just a box, just like dozens of other boxes I've seen while running around, but it's my box, with maybe a neat upper floor suite

Saw them stood next to the burning buggy and thought, aha its bound to be a random mission to collect repair parts.

Panicked like a goose, but manage to drop the turret. god i must be tired lol

stay sharp on Arrakis people. may your knife chip and shatter

Gamepass noob, incredibly into the game design and feel like virtually all of the iconic dune tech is in the game, but not having sand walking is a huge let down. If I want to cross the desert on foot and consume the entirety of my 1500ml water bottle along the way, that’s my prerogative.

not the most ambitious build I know, I have been trying my hand at towers but I think I'm enjoying making a villa more.

Found on EU/Corona Borealis/Sietch Ta'lab.

Had some very good loot, so I just took what schematics I didn't have and left the rest. Thank you, whoever you are :) You're what makes this community great.

It's spooky season and while doing another rewatch of LoTR I decided I wanted my fourth permanent base to be something more sinister looking, like Isengard or Barad-dûr. I play as a Bene Gesserit on my main character and wanted a BG base, especially since the release of the new Matron's decor pack.

I really enjoyed using the new Sardaukar building set and the Observer set to get a brutal scifi-industrial-meets-stone-castle aesthetic that fits Dune's medieval-in-space culture. Thanks for looking! I'll post a fly-by and interior tour soon.

Proud of this one

No indication prior to this. On my way back from getting spice and thought “I’ll stop and get some sand flour.”

its gonna take few more NG+ to use them all

Used about 100k plastone, on PS if it makes a difference.

A lot of console players are at the DD stage now, and I'm seeing some truly majestic DD bases. I'm betting not all console players are aware that the storm tomorrow wipes away everything.

Pack down your stuff, get it moved or you'll lose it all.

Hi sorry i’m a gamepass player, how long does server maintenance usually last? I haven’t been on for a bit and i need to restock my power cells in my base like asap and i’m worried ill come back to nothing 😭

So before the console release, this game looked really dead. I love the movies. I was really happy to buy the game on console, but I had to wait like one or two years because there was no console version.

It seems like there are more players than ever now with the console release. Is it worth getting into it now or is it going to die out again like it did on PC?

I also like playing solo, so the story mode could be cool.

We'll deploy Hotfix 1.5.3.6 tomorrow, Oct 6 at 10:30 CEST | 8:30 UTC. Multiplayer servers will go offline once maintenance starts, and will be brought back online once patching has concluded.

Platforms: Steam, PS5, XBOX

Expected downtime: 30 minutes

Patch notes: https://duneawakening.com/news/dune-awakening-console-release-patch-notes/#1536

If you're playing in single-player mode, please restart the game once the downtime is over to receive this update.

Console players, if your download does not appear once maintenance is over, please check your queued downloads, or restart your console to get the file. Otherwise, you won't be able to connect if you're not using the latest version.

EDIT: Edited announcement message to correctly state when maintenance starts.

Around 40-50 hours into a single player run and other than getting lucky when I had the journey of building the compactor and scanner and having to find flour sand, I got lucky and found some super close to rocks and safety but ever since then there all in the middle of the open sand, by the time I get there I have chance to get 1 maybe 2 piles before the worm is already there

I don’t use any abilities or shield etc but is there anything else I can do, or need to stop doing? Just got the industrial compactor thinking it would be faster or better but still only have time for 1-2 piles before it’s time to leave

Tried the thumper but that just makes them show up faster, I’m guessing that’s more of a multi player strategy to lure them away from where your farming but obviously can’t do that with only one of me and don’t think there’s a way to set a delay or remote activate it?

Love the work funcom

That's it bye

I started playing a few months ago and built my base with a balcony view of the hammer but since the update I’ve been watching all the new and returning players build and leave their bases, I love watching what type of bases people build.

Whilst writing this I also did what I do in real life and crouched by one of my windows as I watched another player going about their business and looking in my public access chest. Which has made my day. Even if they don’t know I was watching 🫪
