In Dune Awakening, gathering resources, crafting essential gear, and exploring diverse terrains are central to the survival experience. As bases expand, acquiring rare components becomes crucial for advanced equipment and structures, such as the Silicone Block used in crafting Storage Containers, Windtraps, and Radiation Suits.

Crafting Silicone Blocks in Dune Awakening

Creating Silicone Blocks requires a Small Chemical Refinery, unlocked via the Research > Construction > Salvage Products tech tree. This facility processes Flour Sand into refined blocks using these components:

Acquiring Key Components: Flour Sand and Water

Flour Sand appears as pale, smoky drifts in hazardous desert zones like Western Vermillius Gap. While collectible by hand, using a Static Compactor significantly improves efficiency by aggregating scattered particles into harvestable clusters. Caution is advised when operating in worm territory during collection.

Water procurement involves multiple systems: Blood Purifiers convert biological matter, Dew Harvesters condense atmospheric moisture, and Windtraps generate reserves. Store surpluses in Water Cisterns for extended expeditions.
