⚒️ Crafting Bases & Vehicles

📝 Crafting Recipes

• There are two types of crafting:
  • A Blueprint represents a pre-made construction plan used for building (not for learning)
    • A Holographic Blueprint is used during layout planning and projects a blueprint. It allows you or someone else to complete the construction with new materials
    • A Crafting Blueprint is acquired through loot and rewards, it grants the ability to craft a specific item or vehicle for one-time use
  • A Schematic teaches you how to make an item and it unlocks a crafting recipe
    • A Researchable Schematic unlocks a system within your tech-tree (that can have sub-parts) with the use of intel points found from missions on the map
    • A Loot Schematic unlocks a system without the need for intel points, or it unlocks a single item without the need for intel points
• Functionally, a one-time Blueprint and a one-time Schematic is considered the same. They both don’t use intel points and they are acquired through looting or rewards

Type	Name	Application	Reusability	Cooperative Use	Source	Example
Blueprint	Holographic Blueprint	Layout planning	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	UI interface	Creating or moving a base
Blueprint	Crafting Blueprint	An item	❌ No	❌ No	Loot and rewards	Rare or powerful items
Schematic	Researchable Schematic	A full system	✅ Yes	❌ No	Intel points	Sandbike and its components
Schematic	Loot Schematic	A full system or item	❓ Mixed	❌ No	Loot and rewards	Sandbike or its components

⚠️When in the Deep Desert, it’s preferable that you already have some Holographic Blueprints saved, so that you do not spend a lot of time designing! Terrain compatibility absolutely matters when you move or reuse a saved base design. The terrain does not need to be identical, but it must be compatible

🔨 Handheld Crafting Tools

• A Salvage Power Pack allows you to carry energy to remote locations for things like turrets or temporary crafting stations and it can be recharged or refueled when depleted

Tool Name	Primary Function	Notes
Welding Torch	Assembles, repairs, customizes and disassembles vehicles	Too much repair can lower the durability of your components
Solido Construction Projector	To build, move, or repair structures	Also necessary to place a Sub-Fief Console on the ground and claim land
Salvage Power Pack	Powers deployable tools or mobile devices	Consumable power source

🏠 Shields & Land-Claims

• A Sub-Fief Console is permanently placed on the ground to claim land so that you can pay taxes and start constructing a base
• A standard Sub-Fief Console only requires fuel and no taxes. While an Advanced Sub-Fief Console requires to pay 2000 Solari every two days
• The sub-fief console also generates a shield for your base that serves as protection from storms and other players
• The sub-fief console is also where you can find the menu to set access controls for your entire base
• If the energy sources that power your base are exhausted, the shields will turn-off and your base will become vulnerable
• Taxes will become gradually more expensive as your base grows in size

🔋 Energy Generators

• Fuel-Powered generators are the main source of power for a base
• Bases can also use two other types of passive energy sources such as Solar Panels and Wind Turbines

Energy Source	Recharge Method
Solar Panel	Renewable, passive energy only during daylight hours where sun is exposed
Wind Turbine	Renewable, passive energy only on elevations or open spaces
Fuel-Powered Generator	Fuel Canisters or equivalent hydrocarbon resource
Wind Traps	Collects water from the environment over time

⚙️ Machinery & Workstations

• Three types of Fabricators exist. One for all-purpose items, one for weapons and another for vehicles
• Fuel-Powered Generators are crucial for powering high-tech items, such as base shields, turrets, or any energy-dependent crafting stations

Station Name	Crafting Focus	Output
General Fabricator	All-purpose crafting	Basic gear, components, tools
Armor Station	Armor and wearable crafting	Light, medium, and heavy armor pieces; armor modifications
Blood Purifier	Water production	Refines harvested blood into potable water
Weapons Fabricator	Weapons and ammunition	Firearm parts, ammo, ranged mods
Vehicle Fabricator	Vehicle assembly	Vehicle chassis, suspensors, engines
Fuel-Powered Generator	Provides power to base structures and stations	Essential for operating advanced crafting stations & shields
Chemical Refinery	Chemical synthesis	Lubricant, silicon blocks, fuel cells, cobalt paste
Ore Refinery	Ore processing	Converts mined ore into usable metals like copper, steel
Research Lab	Tech progression via schematics & unlocks	Unlocks new recipes via intel; central to tech tree advancement
Advanced Vehicle Fabricator	Advanced Vehicle assembly	Advanced vehicles like Buggies or Ornithopters
Survival Fabricator	Survival products	Products for survival, exploration and mining
Fremen Deathstill	Water collection from a corpse	Capable of extracting much more water from a corpse
Garment Fabricator	Advanced Attire	From Stillsuits to powerful armor
Storage Units	Stores crafted items and resources	Varying capacities; essential for inventory management

🚚 Vehicles

• When crafting a vehicle, you are technically producing its components first from a list (if you have the materials) and then assembling them after, using the Welding Torch

⚠️Be aware of your guild’s vehicle needs. Each module takes time to build or farm. Store batches of materials in advance or buy them from the exchange

Asset	Type	Role	Max-Crew	Description
Sandbike	Groundcar	Scout	2	Lightweight and agile, ideal for solo reconnaissance and quick traversal. Can be equipped with an additional seat at the expense of losing another component
Buggy	Groundcar	Combat, Scout, Salvager	4	Armored ground vehicle equipped for skirmishes and small-scale engagements. Can also be equipped with a scanners or equipment for mining
Scout Ornithopter	Light Ornithopter	Reconnaissance	1	Fast and nimble aircraft designed for scouting and rapid deployment missions.
Assault Ornithopter	Medium Ornithopter	Tactical Support	4	Versatile aerial unit equipped for both offensive operations and troop support.
Carrier Ornithopter	Heavy Ornithopter	Transport, Logistics	4	Large-capacity aircraft capable of carrying heavy cargo and deploying harvesters.
Sandcrawler	Sandcrawler	Harvester	6	Specialized vehicle designed for large-scale spice extraction operations.
