⚒️ 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
