Just like acid in Once Human, farming flour sand in Dune Awakening is just as important to your survival in Arrakis. A key resource like the iron sand in Black Myth Wukong, Dune Awakening flour sand is needed for crafting important gear and items. But unlike Copper Ore or Iron Ore, you can’t just smash rocks to get it. Instead, you need to look for patches of white, powdery sand. While you can gather it by hand, the process is very slow and dangerous.
Here’s everything you need to know about flour sand in Dune Awakening, plus the top farming spots to stockpile so much of it, you’ll be tempted to build your own sandcastle—though let’s be real, you’ll need every grain just to survive on Arrakis.
Where to Find Flour Sand in Dune Awakening
Flour sand in Dune Awakening is not found in rocks but patches of white sand. These patches are usually outside Hagga Basin South. One of the best places to look is Vermillius Gap, especially near its border with Hagga Basin South. When you’re exploring on your Sandbike, keep an eye out for clouds of white smoke coming from the ground. You can also check your map to see if you’ve found any Flour Sand patches while riding around.
How to Gather Flour Sand in Dune Awakening
You can gather flour sand in Dune Awakening by hand, but it’s very slow and dangerous. Sandworms can attack you while you’re gathering, and nobody wants to be worm food. If you want to gather flour sand faster and safer, you need a tool called the Static Compactor.
To get the Static Compactor, you must finish the Second Trial of Aql. This will give you the Static Compactor Schematic. After that, you need to craft it using 10 Iron Ingots and 7 EMF Generators. You can find Iron Ore in Vermillius Gap, and you get EMF Generators by raiding Moisture-Sealed Caves all over Arrakis.
The Static Compactor is a special tool that lets you collect flour sand, and spice much faster. It turns the sand into cubes, so you can pick it up quickly and spend less time in danger.
Best Flour Sand Farm Spot
If you want to farm flour sand in Dune Awakening, there’s a great spot next to the Eastern Vermillius Gap, north of the starting zone. Here, you can find at least two flour sand spawns. These spots are right on the edge of the Worm’s territory, so you can farm them without worrying too much about getting attacked.
Here’s how to do it: drive your Sandbike to the spot, gather as much flour sand as you can, and then head back to your base. By the time you return, the flour sand will likely have respawned, so you can keep farming it over and over.
Other Ways to Get Flour Sand
If you don’t want to risk going out into the desert, you can also buy flour sand from merchants or other players. Just visit The Exchange, which is the player market in Harko Village or Arrakeen. This is a good option if you have extra money and want to save time.
What to Do With Flour Sand in Dune Awakening
Once you have flour sand, you can use it to craft Silicone Blocks. These blocks are needed for many other recipes in the game. To turn flour sand into Silicone Blocks, take it to a Chemical Refinery.
