Atreides Trident

Finally, I’m ready to say goodbye to my old base… and show you something new...

Behold – the Atreides Trident!

I’m still experimenting with what can be done with the existing building pieces, and this time I went for a new pillar tower on a triangular foundation with pretty much everything you could need:

  • 2 lower entrances (Moon Doors) – large enough even for a Carrier;
  • 2 landing decks – 6 spots for Scout/Assault Ornithopters and 1 spot for a Carrier;
  • a multi-level structure:

-0,5 – garage;

0 – large storage area, workshop and generators;

1 – main hall and a private room with storage;

1.5 – Fremen Deathstills and a Large Spice Refinery;

2 – gallery;

  • a rooftop with tall towers housing wind turbines, Windtraps and Water Cisterns;
  • no Pentashields;
  • and somehow, all of this still looks reasonably natural?

What else…? I had planned to build a bridge to the tower, but due to an unexpected issue/bug?, it simply wouldn’t fit inside my fief.

So I’ll leave a couple of screenshots here as a keepsake – hope you enjoy them!

And if anyone wants to visit and take a closer look at the base for some inspiration, you’re more than welcome to stop by Solaria – Sietch Tabr. You’ll spot it immediately if you look east from Pinnacle Station.

These screenshots, along with a few others in higher quality, are available on Imgur.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Even though these buildables are being placed inside my fief, some of the Atreides Stronghold pieces are driving me crazy. As shown in the screenshot, pieces like Wide Ramp Edge, Wide Floor Triangle, and Wide Wall Incline behave very differently:

🟢 Green checkmark – the buildable can be placed/replaced and the storm doesn't damage it.
🟡 Yellow X – the buildable can't be placed/replaced, but the storm still doesn't damage it.
🔴 Red explosion – the buildable can't be placed/replaced and the storm damages it.

Do these buildables actually require more space than their visible footprint suggests, or is this some kind of bug? Is there anything I can do about it, or is this just how they're supposed to work?
