Dune Awakening

This game didnt get a lot of advertisement. So it will grow by word of mouth. I have a feeling it will live or die by the end game. If the end game is any good, people will talk about it and it will grow. From that video above, it seems like its got plenty with more to be added.

One thing im finding a pain in the ass so far is having to rebuild your base all the fucking time, or at least until you get the copter. And with that moving all of your shit you collected too, or jsut leaving it behind which is a total waste of time. Or your stuck traveling to BFE every time you stock up on shit. I know this goes away when you get the chopper, but still its not until like end of the mid game. It would profit from some kind of portal system or some shit. I know its not in the whole Dune lore to have any type of portals so there is that. But its a huge bummer. Or it would be nice to just literally move the base somehow without having to grind up all the mats and all the shit again for the copy. Just make a damn literal copy for some cash or some shit instead of just copying the blueprint.

This is also why most people just build fucking boxes, until end game lol.

you really only need one base over in mysa tarill, near the ramp that goes up to the eastern shield wall, below iron watch, east of the crossroads. easy buggy accesses to almost everything, with zero worm risk. you can drive your buggy from mysa tarill to jabal easily for erythrite crystals and steel making. no worm risk. even before you have the buggy or thopter. it's the most convenient spot to put your base. not to mention the sand over there is full of hidden treasure, spice, flour, and there is a shipcrash spawn area there. the only other base you might need is one in shoel, but good luck with that because of the limited space, that's not full of radiation.

That whole NW area is perfect, centers you on everything.

Got around to finishing the main story quest (for now anyways, they'll continue it in later patches) - was actually more interesting than I thought it would be. I didn't expect the twist at the very end. It was also cool to see the quests introduce more characters from the books - this Dune "What if?" involving Jessica actually going along with the Bene Gesserit's original plans does let them play around with a lot of different ideas.

I got up just in time for a patch.

I started last night. I had a crazy woman chase me all the way back to my base. I ran upstairs and she ran in after me haha. Figured the door would stop her.

Why the fuck is patch day in the afternoon on Friday you Euro cucks?

I'm playing casually but enjoying the game more than I expected. Got eaten by two worms so far. The first was a learning experience; the second was me being a dumb-ass.

Bless the Maker and all His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passing cleanse the world.

We got out of Hagga Basin yesterday, and man, this one is addicting as shit so far. A lot of it is probably the newness. And bonus is that there aren't shit tons of guides out there laying everything out.

Think we'll be getting to steel real soon. Will probably end up moving the base again when that happens.

This corner is perfect imo. Puts you between all the things you need going forward. iron/steel in the center, aluminum in the north, crystals in the east(cobalt paste), jasimine crystals later SW and Odham area NW . With the final crafting tier all in the deep desert.

This game is just too complex for me, idk maybe I need to read a guide or something. I'm at the part where I start constructing a base. I made mine but I don't understand what any of it means, or what the point is

I lost a lot of shit today. So I decided to go to Deep Desert and get some spice because I was low. About 22km out, I find a big patch of it and no one is there. I load up my assault orni because I had cargo instead of missiles (it can hold 1k weight) with a fuckton of spice (I had the boots + compactor with low worm aggro, so I could just sit in the spice patch gathering spice without the worm coming constantly). But before I go, I decide to get a nearby control point because I was really close to a reward tier. So as I am sitting there, some dude was apparently camping the spot with his scout orni that is rigged for attack, so he rises up and unloaded a bunch of missiles. I tried to thrust out, but had a bad angle and then I started to lose control because of damaged wings. Eventually I crash land and he is just blowing the shit out of my orni. In retrospect I should have just let myself die, but instead I summon my stored scout orni and try to escape. He catches up and downs that, then I die. Worm eats the wrecks of both orni, then because I forgot to set my base in DD as a spawn, I spawn where I zoned in (which has jackshit nearby). 1 guy tries to fly me on top of his scout to the taxi, but apparently the game doesn't let you travel between sectors like that, so I instantly end up in quicksand and die. I have no water, so eventually I find a cave and have to craft a makeshift blood extractor and start surviving off the blood of NPCs so I don't die. Eventually the guy who blew up all my shit felt bad about it and decided to try to give me a ride to taxi, but I ported to quicksand again. So my only option is die and respawn in Hagga, but you lose ALL your stuff if you do that. He holds some of my gear, I respawn in Hagga, make a scout orni that is half scrap parts, and fly back. Guy gave me the stuff, which was cool of him.

Moral to the story: fuck control points and next time I'm bringing anti-air for my character
