    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Pretty cool discovery for extracting gold not only from e-waste, but potentially also from ores https://www.popsci.com/environment/clean-gold-extraction-electronics/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us

    Rift was a Harkonen/Attreides battlefield, so there are a bunch of ruins. I presume Harkonen won because theirs is the only active base in the rift

    Dune Awakening

    As a general rule, you’ll find water in testing labs and sometimes in various NPC bases. Crashed starships and small bandit camps usually don’t have any

    That happened to me first time I got Pk'd in deep desert - I didnt realize your base wasn't an automatic respawn point, so I got stuck where I first zoned in and couldn't get to the taxi NPC to escape

    The biggest hurdle imo is getting to buggy. Once you get the buggy and a mk4 buggy cutter, getting aluminum for your ornithopter is pretty easy

    I think there is a really narrow spot on the sand where the No tremor meter and tremor meter areas meet where the worm might be able to get you, but in theory you should be fine in the no tremor part of you’re not right on the edge

    You can test it with a thumper and a mk1 sandbike parked nearby As for DD changes, they should add more nodes spread out. With a 45 minute respawn timer, that is too limited for the population with whatever their current dispersement is. Doesn’t need to be a shitload, 1 node per island would...

    People are the water! Maybe, but take into consideration other things 1) Missile movespeed nerf means that armed thopters will have a harder time keeping up with unarmed thopters 2) Shorter distance to safe 3) The bottom half of the DD was usually a ghost town anyways - all the gankers...

    Interesting, Non Political News

    I read awhile back that some hospitals were trying to swab babies delivered via c-section with bacteria normally present in the vaginal cavity during a normal birth. Basically the hypothesis/study was that babies missing out on that exposure had weakened immune systems/less diverse gut micro...

    It still spreads out the resources to make it harder for 1 person to monopolize and open sand is needed for spice blows

    Dune Awakening

    You could just as easily argue that pve needs mk6 gear to gather resources more effectively or can better handle the harder pve encounters in deep desert (the testing stations in the PvP area are no joke - you aren’t soloing that lol) Pvpers being mad are just knee jerk - sectors through D are...

    Yes, it’s something that was mentioned in the AMA Best bets are old fashioned way: ask in chat. If there is a guild on your sietch that is best since you don’t have to travel to a different sietch. I joined some random guild I met in deep desert after the first guild I joined had some way...

    Dune Awakening

    That’s why there is PvP - the only real risk out they are other players (or trying to solo a testing station in the PvP section of DD lol) Pvp section of deep desert is boring until you lose all your shit + vehicle to some cockbag in a scout with rockets, then you realize it isn’t going to be...

    Guilds only. You could make a one man guild if you wanted. You have to declare your guild to a faction (ideally the faction you aligned it). Your faction does the stuff in the square to try to claim it. You can’t see the progress of the opposition faction. Hand ins you do at faction...

    The skill tree quest lines and factions give some nice rewards at the end, like the Thurfir’s best sniper rifle which I think is probably one of the most powerful sniper rifles in the game. I bought a schematic off the market eventually so I could repair it lol Deep Desert just before reset...

    Invincible

    I mean there were a bunch of good Levys from across the multiverse gathered in one spot, then that experiment fused them all into a fucked up Levy after Invincible showed up and caused the issue.

    I have a jasmium buggy garage also, but im thinking of scrapping it so I can have 2 bases in deep desert - one in pve area and one in PvP. Having one in the PvP area would at least make it easier to gather small batches of ore and store them so I can haul a large batch out later. I’d just need...

    Cutray and vehicle mining stack, so may want to look into that if you do buggy mining . Compactor yields is good for spice. I’d dump power pack recharge and climbing stamina as trade offs

    Dune Awakening

    It’s only a problem if you delete a building piece your subfief console is sitting on and supported by, since it gives no warning that deleting the building piece will destroy the console. You can do your trick just fine, just move your permanent console to a safer spot after you finish your...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    As part of City of Heroes: Homecoming’s agreement, they can accept server donations for upkeep and that’s it. They have a donation cap and you get no ingame benefits Donations for loot sounds like asking for trouble

    Expanding the pve areas is a good idea - I suspect the t6 node density will be dogshit still. Even now in PvP DD, getting more than 1 titanium/stravium node per POI requires you travel more than 15k out It sounds like they want to encourage fleeing as a viable tactic, which is fine. They only...

    Always put your base console on a rock or terrain if possible - the game doesn't warn you if deleting a building piece will destroy the console

    Pretty much a guarantee we will be moving on - she will get the Lyse treatment "We have so much work to do, but thank you for everything! I must follow my own path now!" And then she will be MIA for 2 expansions or so lol I am curious if anyone from DT will end up sticking around long term...

    I've respeced a few times after learning some skills either aren't as great as they seem on paper or don't work like expected. Take for instance the Mentat skills where it says if you damage an enemy, it creates a weakpoint where you do 30% more damage. Sounds great, but the reality is the...

    Deep desert storytime So our DD has gotten pretty bad lately from a gank/griefer perspective - I am assuming it is because the kids are out of school now After losing another assault thopter, I decide to say fuck it and make some cheap scout and do tiny rat runs for resources. I pick the...

    Pills do help, but radiation in that zone isn’t equal. There are 3 tiers of radiation in that zone. Using Chernobyl as an example, tier 1 is taking a tour of the area, tier 2 is going inside the reactor building, and tier 3 is taking a selfie next to the “elephants foot” (if you aren’t...

    The final Freman trial not being instanced and solo only is very odd. What's odd is after you do that, most of the places you visit are special locations on the world map that are instanced.

    Hagga does stay static, except for resource locations. The only thing that changes in Hagga is the location of ore nodes and scrap metal metal/battery nodes. Dew flowers and other POI are all static. I think the crystals you use to make cobalt paste are relatively static because they only...

    Ya, doing quests is the best way to get a large initial amount of money. Between that and the POI the quests send you to, you'll have hundreds of thousands of solari. After the quests dry up, best money makers are running testing stations and looting the money from chests and selling surplus...
