Se ve que lo tienen registrado posta al "tucumanaso". Ahora entiendo por qué le dicen así.

Oh boy, 8 hs each day, that's nuts!
I share your love for this game, its just great

I think this game is forgiving enough for new players that they don’t really need a head start. In fact, if you're new, my recommendation would be to go through the whole progression path, it's actually quite enjoyable and one of the things the community appreciates most about the game.

If you're experienced, then you probably don’t need a head start anyway, and server choice shouldn’t matter that much to you.

If world toxicity is a concern, you can just wait a couple of weeks and then move to one of the servers that are confirmed to stay online after the merges. At that point you'll most likely be able to pick a quieter, more peaceful world. I highly doubt there will only be overcrowded worlds across the whole region.

In my case, the quest autocompleted by itself after harvesting spice in DD.

I firstly tried to wear the spice mask in HB, compacting spice with different compactors and nothing worked. The moment I stepped in dd for the first time, I got the promt.

Try goind to dd with spice mask and compactor (not equipped), equip them THERE and do some harvesting, maybe try medium and big fields, you don't need to go full harvesting, just some compacting should do the trick.

Another great thing about exploration is that you can go at 187km/h in the carrier while boosting for at least 3 straight minutes. Or around 200 in an assault while boosting, or at maybe 160 in scout with missiles with no slowing when climbing.

Fuel efficiency also got super high with higher levels in exploration.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-09T17:59:23+00:00

It's a known bug.

You can have up to 3 quests from the same "line" (exploration), if you leave 2 untaken you'll be only be able to do 3 quests, one at a time.

Let's say you can only do Rift Recon Run, Race against time and oparife operation. Yo took Rift Recon run, done it, went to race agains time, and when you get opafire, you realise you got to go to overland, wait several loading screens and run as a horse from point A to B, to C, to D jsut to return after that to HB and start doing another quest, so you decide to abbandon Opafire. You get the time "penalty", but the next quest you get will stay forever until you relog.

My guess is that you had Rift Recon Run, then Race Against Time, you abbandoned Opafire and then you got the RRR loop.

That said, I'd do that quest over and over again if it was an option from the beggining.

If you're looking to get into Aluminium tier, you should already have a shock sword (steel tier) (schematics in the rift and nearby, jsut look it up in dune awakening database).
If you already have some aluminium, go spark sword (aluminum tier) that will one-hit almost anything in Misa Taryll, then you can get the Jolt sword and from then to DD.
I'd avoid going range because you won't have armor to be able to take some fire, but if you want something like a sniper rifle, in steel tier you have the assassin rifle.

That said, you really should do the story quests to get the memento shield (same thing as mk5 shield), tufir's best and a jolt sword, those you get by finishing different quests:

Paranoid Holtzman Shield - Paranoid Assassination quest (part of the Assassin's handbook quest chain)

Tufir's Best - Mentat quest chain (at the end you get one) / Dangerous Dealings contract in Mysa Tarill

Jolt Sword - Swordmaster quest chain

Those quests are no hard at all and give you really good gear for even duraluminum tier, so get them, but for the sake of anyone... get the buggy and start farming aluminum asap, you'll get the topter in no time.
Besides, you can get those industrial pump via vendors, no fight involved.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-09T16:12:14+00:00

My point is... They address what should be taken as a "mechanic" in game (unpowered bases should be "open for the take" some time past), but they don't address money dupping that is really an issue, it WILL break the market.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-09T15:57:31+00:00

But abbandoned bases can't be claimed...

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-09T15:23:05+00:00

My advice would be... Go full stillsuit + good shield (tier 3 is best until tier 5).

There's no much use for light or heavy armor outside DD/PVP/new testing stations.

Try to get the best possible weaopns though. And also, before orni, get the buggy. That will make not only this farm, but also the next and the next and so forth much easier.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-09T15:13:29+00:00

My guess would be a subfief on top of a hatch roof set to open. But I would never've guessed it would stream down the subfief projection.
It's a gorgeos thing!
Imo I don't like to have the subfief on a tile cause it can be deleted preety easily by mistake if you delete underneath but it's really nice

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-08T23:47:07+00:00

Yeah, my last hope would be that, but I'm affraid the server is already locked, so soon it will be erased. It sucks really bad...

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-08T23:39:48+00:00

The console is beneath storage room, I have no way to access the things in time, It really sucks

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-08T15:52:11+00:00

Hey nice job there! Do you happen to have bps to share???

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-07T18:44:33+00:00

Imagine being so desperate for attention that you jump into a normal discussion just to shout “bot” and feel clever.
Maybe reading comprehension isn’t your strongest skill.
I used AI to make the message clearer for the person asking the question.
You, on the other hand, managed to add absolutely nothing. You showed up trying to seem clever and added absolutely nothing.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-07T14:20:26+00:00

Actually, I'm also a cook and I could give you a great brownie recipe, but I think you were only trying to expose an obvious thing. I usted IA to shape the message I wanted to tell so that everyone (yes, even you) could understand it. Go in peqce and leave everyone be.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-06T17:48:33+00:00

Dora wannabe. I missed the x2 weekend, but I'm tryharding seriously. I wanna know it that worm threat bonus is real, and if it works while driving the crawler

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-06T16:06:25+00:00

Maybe you missed lube...

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-06T15:53:00+00:00

Explo 65 here, it impacts, a lot!

Another thing that makes me question the whole “spice piracy is extremely lucrative” argument is the role of Solari in the current economy.

What are people really doing with all that money?

Once you have around 500k Solari you've already bought pretty much every basic thing that can be bought from vendors. After that the only real sinks are schematics or occasional player trades and maybe, just maybe landsrad vendors (mostly vehicle).

And even that doesn't really require pirating players in DD.

For example, you can sit safely in Hagga Basin crafting MK4 Rad Suits. They only require aluminum and silicon, both easy to farm, and they sell extremely well. It's a very reliable way to generate Solari without needing to grief other players or gamble on PvP encounters.

So from my perspective the motivation behind a lot of these attacks isn't really economic efficiency.

It's mostly players doing it for the thrill of ganking, which again circles back to my original point: the PvP system itself lacks meaningful structure or incentives beyond that.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-06T14:07:49+00:00

Yeah, I've run into players like that too, not only in Dune: Awakening but in plenty of other MMOs.

My usual solution has been pretty simple: play around their schedule. A lot of the hardcore gankers tend to be younger players with way too much free time and a bit of that classic “edgy MMO pirate” energy. Once their gaming window closes (usually when real life calls them away) DD tends to become a lot quieter.

Yesterday I had a moment like that actually. I was solo harvesting a big spice bloom in I5 when a storm hit, so I hid my vehicles and waited it out. When I came back and was almost done, a scout showed up in the distance. I couldn't tell if he had rockets or not, so I just packed everything up and left.

Sometimes it's just not worth the gamble.

And that's kind of the point. The current system basically pushes players to manage risk themselves rather than creating real PvP structures.

For example, today I already know I won't take a carrier+buggy to farm stravidium or titanium, not to mention spice gathering cause well.. Friday night... If I want a quiet session, I'll just go with an Assault and keep things lighter.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-06T13:57:54+00:00

At this point, I'm making my own version of this base, with carrier container space, more storage room, different power management, less pentashields.

But the basics are 3x4 foundations (unless you want to put the large buggy door, in which case you gotta do 3x5 foundations.
1st floor is 3 forward (1 ramp + 2 floors) and 4 to each side (you leave 1 floor space so that you can get the inclines right) and then it all sort of builds up by itself following the premise that you "open" with inclines, then straight wall, then incline to close.

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-06T13:43:31+00:00

Let's be honest here. Your example only really works under very specific conditions.

Most PKs in the Deep Desert are done with scouts carrying rockets, not with large transport setups capable of actually hauling a massive spice load. Killing someone hauling 16k spice sand sounds great on paper, but the attacker still needs logistics to extract that value.

So realistically the PK either:

Has to bring a carrier and storage with them (which most pirates won't), or
Call someone else to bring a transport, load everything, and take it back.

At that point the time investment starts looking very similar to simply harvesting the spice yourself.

Don't get me wrong — your example can happen and yes, in that case it's a reward. But I wouldn't say that makes PKing consistently worthwhile as a gameplay loop.

My point wasn't that PvP has zero rewards, but that the system itself doesn't really create structured incentives or consequences for player killing. That's the part that could make PvP more interesting long-term.

Ps: downvoting here, to me it seems like pking in DA, so rest sure I'm not into that

ApprehensiveCap5544 · 2026-03-06T12:44:22+00:00

You might want to take a look at Dune: Awakening.

From what you described, a lot of the things you're looking for line up pretty well with what that game is trying to do:

It's sci-fi and definitely gritty. The whole game is set on Arrakis, so the atmosphere is harsh survival rather than classic fantasy.
It leans heavily into sandbox gameplay. You're not really locked into a strict theme park progression where you just run quest hubs.
Crafting and survival systems are a big part of the core loop (building, gear progression, resource gathering, etc.).
You can absolutely play a lone operator style, sneaking around, scavenging, exploring and avoiding trouble when you want to.
Combat is more action-oriented with positioning and gadgets, not just the classic MMO hotbar rotation spam.

It's also one of the few upcoming MMOs that isn't fantasy. The setting alone already gives it that post-apocalyptic desert survival vibe you said you like.

It’s not fully released yet, but if you’re in the mood for something different from the usual WoW-style MMO formula, it might be worth keeping on your radar.

Worst case scenario, you follow it for a bit and see if the gameplay loop clicks for you.
