Compact Desert Base: First Look at Patch and Dune Man Building Parts

Описание: We’re going compact today—no mega-base, just a smart, stylish mini-build that shows how much you can do with a smaller footprint in Dune: Awakening. With the new Dune man building pieces arriving from the Test Client, we’ll put them straight to work and explore clean layouts, tight flow, and modular rooms that still look epic.

Target start: 6:30am Eastern (may be slightly delayed while the Test Client patch lands and installs)
Theme: Compact base | efficient pathways | decorative polish with the new parts
Guild: Grandpa’s Army

What we’re building
Compact foundation with clear upgrade paths (expandable wings without rework)
Traffic-smart interiors: crafting loop → storage → utilities in a tight circuit
Showcase walls/doors/corners using the new Dune pieces for an elevated look
Exterior trims & lighting that make a small build feel premium on screenshots

Stream flow
Patch recap — what changed, what’s new in building pieces (quick tour)
Blueprint & resources — footprint sizing, room order, must-have mats
Live build — foundation → walls/doors → utilities → decor polish
Photo tour — scenic angles, day/night checks, screenshot tips
Q&A + tweaks — viewer-driven micro-improvements and alt layouts
