Major new feature and a free surprise
[p]Greetings Sleepers, [/p][p]Another patch is now available, and it's a hot one! [/p][p]Store your spice, park your vehicle and head back inside to sip a hot spice coffee while you take a gander at today’s patch highlights. You can also read the full patch notes here. [/p][p] [/p][h2]Gift of the Sands Free Pack [/h2][p]As a heartfelt thank you for being part of our journey, we’re excited to gift a special free pack to everyone who owns Dune: Awakening. Enjoy this holiday surprise from us! [/p][p]This pack features a variety of beautiful, new decorative items. The centrepiece is a strategy table and assorted miniatures to place “strategically”, such as a miniature ornithopter, faction miniatures and much more. Handy as you lay out your plans to influence the spice trade on Arrakis. It also features two new weapon skins, and, for those in seasonal spirit, a special holographic tree. [/p][p]Check out your free pack on its Steam store page! [/p][p]![]()
[/p][p] [/p][h2]Store your base and place it back out in its entirety, including all its content with the Base Reconstruction Tool. [/h2]![]()
[/p][p] [/p][p] [/p][h2]Past Twitch Drop Vendors [/h2][p]Vendors with a special inventory are waiting for new customers in both Arrakeen and Harko Village. These dedicated individuals will sell past Twitch Drops in exchange for your heard-earned Solaris. The first inventory rotation includes our Chapter 1 Twitch Drops, featuring 11 different pieces from our Observer building set. Some very cool options are the Observer Windows, Observer Columns, and the Observer Hatch. [/p][p] [/p][h2]Cargo Container for Ornithopters [/h2][p]We’ve introduced a new cargo container designed for transporting large quantities of items or materials. You craft pieces which need to be assembled via a welding torch to build this special container. Once put together, it can be used via a carrier ornithopter for transportation. [/p][p]You can access its storage through the bank/exchange interface or your base’s circuits system. [/p][p]![]()
[/p][h2]QoL changes and exploit preventions [/h2][p]We are continuously working on quality of life improvements and have added an unstuck vehicle button to get you and your vehicle out of sticky situations. [/p]
- [p]You can now craft the Base Reconstruction Tool and aim it at your base to store it. Vehicles are not backed up with this new tool. For vehicles you can’t back up in your vehicle backup tool, we recommend disassembling them and storing their parts in your bank or base storage if you’re bringing them with you. [/p]
- [p]The process is similar to using the vehicle backup tool: it will immediately remove your entire base from the world, including everything placed directly on or inside it. [/p]
- [p]Placing your base works differently from blueprints. The entire base will be spawned instantly, without the need for gathering and manual rebuilding, including all its contents. Additionally, there is a “snap to origin” feature that will try to place your base in the exact location from which you removed it. [/p]
- [p]To assist you in sticky situations with your vehicle, we have introduced an “unstuck vehicle button” that should get you out to safety quickly. [/p]
- [p]We also made it easier for you to find relevant information after a new game update has been released. [/p]
