A community investigation in Dune: Awakening tested plastone base durability during a week of deadly sandstorms. Initial concerns about plastone pieces failing were corrected after realizing the damaged parts were granite, not plastone, due to a material mix-up. Players also observed that bases near the map center tend to take more storm damage than those in lower rows, increasing repair demands. This emphasizes the need for careful material verification and strategic base placement to withstand harsh environmental hazards on Arrakis.
- Granite structures are more vulnerable to storm damage than plastone.
- Base location affects storm damage severity, with central map bases at higher risk.
