A player proposal on the Dune: Awakening subreddit suggests a new mechanic to make abandoned player bases more dynamic. After a 7-day protection period once fuel cells run out, the sub-fief console would detonate, creating a blast wave and a visible map signature. This event would unlock all locked containers inside the base for a 1-hour looting window, encouraging active scavenging and player interaction in PvE zones. The idea aims to add excitement and unpredictability to base decay, motivating players to engage with abandoned structures rather than ignore them.
- 7-day safety window after fuel depletion before detonation
- 1-hour looting phase with unlocked containers post-detonation
