Is the game still worth buying?

So, the problem is:

I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews and people saying that the game is only good for 20–40 hours and that the endgame content is bad.

As someone who loves Dune, I'm genuinely asking if the game is still worth buying as a solo player.

Thanks!

This is my Atreides Manor house in Mysa Tarill

Starting with the tavern and moving around to the family dining area, office and bedroom, before heading downstairs to the ornithopter bay with built in storage and side balconies, then proceeding to the ground floor for the statue of Shai Hulud, more storage including water, and death still.
A quick fly around for exterior shots before returning to the second floor to show off the balcony and views.

This isn't really a base, it more of a house.

Hey Funcom! Please fix the inventory dropping issue (on controller)

When I hold Y to drop something from my inventory, it doesn't just drop the item I selected, it drops a bunch of other stuff, too.

This is a really, really annoying bug and it's been here for the last year.

(Perhaps this happens for mouse and keyboard players too but I only play on controller personally so I'm not sure)

Plz fix, thx <3

"Ordinary" storms in the DD?

You see chatter about how a storm will drop you base's shields, but is this a DD-exclusive thing? Others who run servers have experienced zero base damage after a "normal" DD storm and supposed shield failure.

TBH, I've never experienced an "ordinary" storm in the DD, but I do run a self-hosted server with the Coriolis storm variables "off" (that said, it does little more than not nuke your base if it's in the A-row during a Coriolis storm; the DD gets reset and the resources move around in Hagga as well...)

Ideas, clarifications?

How high over sand to be safe?

When I built a base on an island in south Misa how high do I have to be to built over sand without worm jumping up?

Anyone else hate how the power/water grid just "pools" everything automatically? We need toggles.

Hey guys,

So I’ve been heavily optimizing my endgame base layout recently and something is really starting to bug me about how the logistics grid handles utilities.

Right now, if you have standard Fuel Cell Generators and T6 Spice-Powered Generators running simultaneously, the base just lumps everything into one massive energy pool. Same goes for water management with wind traps, dew collectors, and Deathstills.

It works fine for the early game, but at endgame, it’s a massive micromanagement headache. If I have a surplus of standard fuel cells, I want the option to use those first and completely turn off my Spice-Powered Generators so I'm not burning through precious Spice-infused fuel when my base load is low. Right now, the game just ticks down fuel across the board blindly.

I really think we need a sub-fief console upgrade or a modular "Grid Switch" building piece. Imagine being able to:

Set Priority Sources: Force the base to drain standard Fuel Cells first, and only activate Spice-power if the power draw spikes (like when running multiple refineries or shields taking hits).

Flip Manual Switches: Literally walk up to a breaker board and disconnect a specific wing of your base or a specific generator type from the main grid with a toggle.

Water Routing: Tell the base to use passive Dew/Wind Trap water for regular crafting, but hoard the Deathstill water for emergency reserves.

It would add so much depth to the endgame logistics and make base management feel way more rewarding instead of just "dump everything into a container and hope the game burns the right fuel."

How are you guys managing your fuel consumption right now? Are you just manually pulling fuel cells out of generators when you don’t need them, or is there a better workaround I'm missing? Would love to hear some ideas on how a power-grid feature could actually look if the devs ever decide to implement it.

Unable to craft iron and ingots

My ore refinery is showing that I have 0 water. However in my blood purifier and my cistern I have 500ml. Why is it displaying 0 water?

Please craft and sell your grades 2-4 augments. I will pay good money for them.

Please do me a favor. I suck at overland stations above level 5, so looting grade 2-5 augment bp’s as well as schematic patterns g2-5 is problematic for me. But if YOU loot, craft, and sell the finished augments ready to install, I will buy, as I’m sure others will, too. I think there is a market for grade 2-4 augments, not just top of the line grade 5. The grade 5 stuff is exorbitantly priced, but I’m willing to buy cheaper lower grades all day.

Today I went on a 400 million Solari spending spree upgrading a few slots and stocking up on g2-5 schematic patterns. The piece I’m most happy about? 10-shot g5 Regis tripleshot! 10 shots of poisonous 800+ damage incoming!

The augment was a g4 jabal spitdart expander for 100 million. Probably the most i'd ever spent on a single item. But it was the only such augment on the exchange, and I have no idea when another one will come up. I didn’t want to wait…no regrets at all! I can make that solari back in no time!

Thank you!

Building a Water Shipper Freighter: A lesson in frustration

Hey guys, it's me—the creator of Falconhold.

Ever since I noticed that the Water Shipper build set has what looks like landing legs, and many of the bits look like they are made for starships, I had the inkling to give the idea a go.

So a couple of days back, I took my buggy out, ground out over 10,000 granite, and started making it.

And it has been a lesson in abject frustration.

There are so many missing pieces: no solid corner blocks, no half-length ramps or stairs, no ladders, and no double-length doors.

NO ROUNDED PARTS WHATSOEVER.

Still, I had already done the mining, so I pushed on. I got a basic design done and filled up some of the rooms. But now, I'm out of motivation.

I'm not happy with the compromises I ended up with, and I really don't feel like finishing it.

So, here are some of the pretty pictures of the unfinished hulk.
