Basically, title. Afaik, if you're planning on taking an extended break, the best practice is to break up your vehicles into their parts and chuck them into a box inside your base, and then use the base packing tool (forget it's exact name at the moment, I'm at work) to pack up your base, store it in your inventory, and logout.

I had a couple of questions though. At the moment my base is built around specific terrain, in a bit of an 'L' shape, it has some extensions on it as well. So if I pack it up, it will be a really odd shape and not match the terrain at all should I have to place it back down in a different spot. Will that potentially stop me from recovering everything in the base if I can't end up placing it back down again?

Should I in that case, basically destroy all the unused bits of my base, and make it more of a box so it's easier to place down when I come back? How would I also deal with removing fief extensions?

Is there anything else that we should be looking out for that has caught people unawares when they go to place their base back down?

Basically, title. I'll start by saying I am not the server owner, but everyone playing on the server is trying to find out what the issue might be. So I decided to ask my buddies on reddit!

Essentially there isn't too much to go on, at this point. The server logs state the game is being saved correctly. This seems to happen overnight, e.g. after all players have disconnected and gone to bed, and someone tries and connects the next morning. Most troubleshooting we've found say to look for certain errors in the logs, but yeah, there are none.

One thing that does look weird is this entry in the log:

Info: Found non-crossplay mod. Disabled savegame cross platform availability

We don't use crossplay though - would this affect the PC save at all? We're assuming not since it still says it's saved correctly:

2026-08-07 08:50:17.331 Game saved successfully (savegame6).
2026-08-07 08:52:09.934 Game saved successfully (savegame6).
2026-08-07 08:52:11.493 ******* left the game

Basically, the save ends up appearing 'red' in the list of server saves we have and won't load. And no indication as to why it's fully just stopped working. Any server owners out there encountered anything similar and know of any workarounds? I might be able to get the full log of one of the saves to add in here, if needed.

I've just picked up fs25 and it seems to have the same kinda issues as fs22 in the fact that whenever I place a building down, it really screws up the terrain around it, to the point where some vehicles can't get inside. Or if they can get inside, then they can't get out lol. At least, not easily.

Any tips for a noob on how to place buildings without all that terrain deformation that goes on? I wish there was an undo button, that's all I want lol.

Also, this is for MP and not SP so I can't just reload a save or whatever. I'm going to try 'evening' the land out at the highest point, creating a flat surface and putting the next building down on that. But I was just wondering if there was a much easier way to get this done so it's all nice and flush with the land around it?

Me and a group of friends have just returned to Dune after about a year or so off. I've noticed the end game has completely changed and that there seems to be rep specific gear depending on what faction you choose.

Is this still the same as it was, in terms of still being able to purchase the opposing faction cosmetic stuff, and you just have to pay double the solari for it? We haven't fully chosen a faction yet but after finding this out about the end game I thought I would ask in here to see if choosing one faction would lock you out of another factions cosmetic stuff now? Or can you ultimately still buy everything as long as you have the solari for it?
