Crafting is an integral part of the Dune Awakening experience, and isn’t something you could simply avoid. The game’s crafting mechanics help you progress by constantly throwing stronger gear and equipment at you. 

As you go about crafting, you’ll find yourself in need of Silicone Blocks, a fundamental crafting ingredient. The blocks help you craft both weapons and armor, making them essential components. But to acquire these blocks, you need Flour Sand. 

Flour Sand is a building block and a foundational component that helps you craft several items, and it is one you absolutely need in the early game. If you’re unable to acquire these efficiently, we’re here to help you farm them.

When you’re approaching any field of sand, you’ll see white hues popping off the surface. These hues represent the Flour Sand. If you approach them, the game will give you a prompt to harvest them. Accepting this prompt sees you bending down and harvesting the sand with your bare hands. Now, while this is perfectly acceptable, it is a slow process.

Instead, we recommend bringing in the Static Compactor. You can craft this device using a Survival Fabricator. Bring the following ingredients to the crafting machine to craft the Static Compactor: 

  • 10x Iron Ingot
  • 7x EMF Generator

Once you have the compactor, the next thing you need is a vehicle with a storage unit. Sandbikes serve this purpose incredibly well. Drive your sandbike over to any open field of sand. Ensure to carry water because open deserts have no shade, and you risk dehydration. 

Head to the white spots in the sand and equip your Static Compactor. Start firing the compactor away at the white spots, and it will create vibrations that will uncover all the Flour Sand in the vicinity. 

Fire as many as you can to uncover all, and quickly collect them. Deposit them in your bike storage because they will be heavy, and quickly return to do so again. Make sure to take no longer than 45 seconds because the vibrations attract sandworms.  Keep repeating this process and you’ll easily farm huge chunks of Flour Sand within an hour.
