How Many Bases Can You Have in Dune Awakening

Base Limits & Flexibility

  • Players can own up to three bases total in Dune Awakening.
  • A maximum of two sub-fiefs (smaller bases) and one advanced fief (larger, expandable base) are allowed. Mixing configurations is permitted.
  • Exceeding two sub-fiefs triggers an in-game error.

Sub-Fiefs vs. Advanced Fiefs

  • Sub-fiefs: Low-cost, temporary bases ideal for crafting or quick setups.
  • Advanced fiefs: Larger structures requiring ongoing tax payments that scale with size and upgrades.

Ownership & Management

  • Abandon bases anytime by removing their console—freeing slots for new locations or layouts.
  • Salvage materials from abandoned player bases if they’ve been inactive long enough, including recycling structures or looting unlocked storage.

Building Strategies

  • Start small: Early-game sub-fiefs should prioritize flexibility to avoid resource loss during relocation.
  • Use blueprints: Save complex designs before transitioning to permanent locations like Vermillion Gap.
  • Advanced fief caution: Ensure readiness to handle higher taxes and defense needs.
