A Dune: Awakening player experienced a complete loss of their base after a sandstorm struck while they were offline, erasing it from the map. The base had a sub-fief console placed on the roof, which proved vulnerable to environmental damage. This unexpected destruction has led the player to reconsider continuing the game, highlighting concerns about how environmental hazards affect base durability. The incident raises questions about whether players are adequately informed of these risks and how such events might impact long-term player engagement.
- Sandstorms can destroy bases even when players are offline.
- Base placement, especially elevated structures, may increase vulnerability.
