Dune Awakening: How to farm Flour Sand

To farm Flour Sand in Dune Awakening, you should first try to unlock the Static Compactor. Though you can extract it without the device, it would take way too long to do so, and the tool just makes it faster and easier to get it done. Flour Sand can be used to craft Silicone Blocks in the game, which can help build structures like walls, floors, and other such components of a building.

This article will explain how you can farm Flour Sand in Dune Awakening safely and return to base without losing your life to a sandworm.

If you are looking to farm Flour Sand in Dune Awakening, the direct source is a bit risky, as it' often comes with the danger of a Sandworm breach. It's found in the Vermilius Gap region in the open sands. Once you pass by a Sand Flour hotspot, it's hard to miss - it appears like white flour on the brown sand and also appears as if it's ejecting smoke into the air.

• You can farm this Flour Sand in Dune Awakening using your hands by holding "Interact" in the hotspots. However, this method may take you ages to collect enough of it.
• Alternatively, you can use the Static Compactor. To unlock it, play the game, go to your Journey tab, and finish the Second Trial of Aql.
• Once this is done, you can unlock the Static Compactor via the Fabricator. The Static Compactor makes a lot of noise, so ensure you stick to the areas where the sandworm is less likely to invade, such as close to the rock structures or the mountains.

Use the device on the Flour Sand and simply collect it after it appears as a mound on the sand.

On the whole, you can get away with 200+ Flour Sand from one hotspot. However, these tend to often be far away from safe surface, so it's highly risky to stay for long to repeat the process multiple times.

Sand Flour also drops scavengers and slavers you kill in Vermillion Gap and the Hagga Rift regions of Dune Awakening. It's also commonly found in chests and containers of the Imperial Stations and outposts here. So the fastest method - and also the safest - is to set up your base near one outpost, Ironworks, or Imperial Station, and then farm it from there.
