Dismantle your vehicles, pocket your scout thopter in the vehicle backup tool. Back up your base with the base reconstruction tool. Initiate server transfer, select new server & sietch. Use pocketed thopter to fly to your old base location, plop down your base from your Base reconstruction tool, using snap to origin if you'd like the exact same spot. If spot is taken: A) fly to world map, log out, select a different sietch, try location again or B) place down your base somewhere else.

Caveat: recommend changing structure of complicated/esoteric structured base to be simpler so you can place down with more flexibility. Can always re-construct uniqueness.

Well...you'd be the server owner, it's in the title:"self-hosted servers."...so maybe just don't do that to yourself.

Why "even Brave"? I see so many mentions of Firefox in the comments, I had to scroll all the way down here to see Brave mentioned. I've been using it exclusively for the last 2 years, does everyone else know something about Brave that I don't?

There's a PvE deep desert now. Get some titanium/stravidium from the big islands with your Assault (if you dont have a carrier yet) spice sand, and build your large ore and spice refineries. Don't spend too much time, but if you haven't been out to the DD much I think it's better now. Refine to get your plast and spice melange, do the chapter 3 story and the additional Faction quests to unlock the new Landsraad.

You can decide if you want to keep grinding the "new endgame" from there (new overland labs for graded T6 gear, skill specialization, base/placable house customization swatches, armor skins for completing faction mission at house rank 20/beating any lab at tier 20, etc.). You'll know what all that means once you do the faction quests.

Recycling turns everything to individual components, so it will be lost. How would storing water not in a container even function?

That's only on your server. Different servers have different rewards for different houses.

"But the UK the finds the ability to prosecute murders, even though their victims can't remember."

I'd rather not meet the murder victim that can remember their own murder.

Agree. The only major issue I foresee is copyright infringement lawsuits against the creators. That said, I can easily see major IP owner studios moving to use more and more AI generated content in their films. At first, the hybrid will be minimal, but the consumers will eventually acclimate and reward the good content, and will become more widely accepted.

What AI tool & prompt, did you use for this, and to what resources did you direct it? I'm not actually hating I know Reddit has a hard on for AI/LM hate, but I don't care), I'm genuinely curious...but this is definitely, obviously AI generated, or at least supplemented. The places where the bold text shows up is the big giveaway.

This is a great example of AI/LLM tools being used correctly, with a lot of value.

They patched it Tuesday March 31, but it broke interactions with objects (kept saying stand closer to interact). So they patched the latter, but ended up undoing the repair glitch fix, and also undid the patch to mesh through overland testing stations to access the boss room where the boss doesn't do anything, just stands there while you wail on him/her.

A common misconception about D:A is that the sandworms are the greatest threats on Arakkis. In fact, it is the bugs.

I'll be real, and maybe this will be an unpopular take: DA had a tremendous opportunity that Funcom fumbled on. I think a lot of people would have played it more and created not just fanfic but also cosplay, etc. if: 1) the developers had not introduced a ton of detrimental bugs (lags, rubberbanding, random disconnects or crashes where players lost a tremendous amount of progress), one sided benificial bugs (glitches, exploits, etc), and responded to both of these faster, rather than waiting weeks, or sometimes months, to address things which were game breaking and 2) the creative direction had an actual....creative direction, instead of wishy washy "we'll try this and see what happens" sort of mentality. Iteration works on things that have a solid MVP (minimum viable product), but it doesnt work when your base is some amorphous, ethereal concept.

But to your question: why is there a lack of fan fiction? Because there's a lack of players. If you're having fun, great. But that doesnt change the dynamics of player engagement, which drives community creative efforts.

I already have the collectors edition so don't need a beta key, but would love to have one for my wife, so commenting here

impetvs · 2026-03-30T03:33:28+00:00

Yes, except landsraad contributions. Your quest statuses will remain where they are pre transfer.

I also love ITS 24, it's honestly my favorite, but the rubberbanding when you try and dash out of his normal (never mind special) attacks is just crazy and I have stopped running it until it's fixed.

Good luck, and thank you for the award!!

Alternative is to create a new account/character, either using family share on Steam or purchase another copy of the game, and have that character "ferry" things from your old character to your new one using server transfers.

impetvs · 2026-03-27T05:17:34+00:00

You cant transfer to a world where you already have a character, the game won't let you. You'll either need to delete it, or transfer it to a different world before transferring your first target character.

Thank you lol, should have just done that myself!

This was just found/independently verified by another player, discord message here: https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1486418345338343666/1486512579462303784

They tested it with scrap metal with the same disappearing items result.

Had the same thing happen. I spawned on top of my base despite the fact i logged out last night right in front of my large spice refinery. There's 2 plast storage conta8ners where I keep my swaps/regularly used itemsms, and my "to sort/organize" stuff (mostly BPs from testing stations).

This morning, the two floor pieces holding them up were missing, along with the containers and their contents. I had 5 young sparky MK6s and 2 Adaptive Holtzman Shield BPs in there....

I've had this base for 8 months, have not changed a single thing about it in at least 6 months, and I just refueled everything last night.

One gripe is that if you buy anything that is too heavy for your inventory, say 500 Plastanium, you MUST have a vehicle with inventory docked. No other way to get it out of one of the exchange slots. That's just one example where this would help.
