Base-building is one of the core elements in Dune: Awakening. The environment on Arrakis is harsh and unforgiving, and to survive on the planet, you need a safe space to call your own and craft new supplies to keep you protected. While you’re introduced to base-building fairly early on, the game doesn’t offer a ton of explanation for where to build your base and how to perform some basic actions.
Fortunately, we have put together a detailed guide on base-building in Dune: Awakening so you know exactly what you’re doing when construction starts on your dream Arrakis home.
How to start base-building in Dune: Awakening
First and foremost, building a base requires a plethora of resources in Dune: Awakening. To build the most basic structures, you need hundreds of Granite Stones, which are the small boulders that you can find littered around the map. The best practice when it comes to gathering Granite is to use your Cutteray to harvest it any time you see these large stones out in the world.
