A Dune: Awakening player with over 220 hours reports that spice melange remains a major obstacle to reaching tier 6 base building, despite recent cost reductions in the September 22 patch. The player, mostly playing semi-solo, finds the resource demands beyond tier 5 still prohibitively high. They propose introducing an intermediate gathering tool between the handheld compactor and the sandcrawler, such as a durable buggy attachment with low plastic requirements, to ease resource collection. This feedback highlights ongoing community concerns about resource gating affecting late-game advancement.
- September 22 patch reduced spice melange costs but not enough for late tiers
- Suggestion for a mid-tier gathering vehicle to improve resource flow
