The following large patch for Dune: Awakening‘s now on the market through Steam testing consumer, as devs Funcom look to check out its numerous tweaks earlier than urgent go on full deployment subsequent month. In the event you’ve been desperately screaming for the power to slop out a bunch of blood and/or water without delay, or have lately be chased by a swarm of griefy ornithopters, that is the patch for you.
The truth is, the devs clarify that they’d actually choose it when you have been to dedicate the majority of your two-week-long patch testing time to these two issues particularly. They’re additionally turning off taxes and sandstorms, the latter very a lot being the tax equal of the pure world, for the primary week so bases will not be in danger.
The rundown of the notes for patch 1.1.20, naturally, begins off with these two adjustments. “Colliding ornithopters will now get an impulse utilized to separate them,” the devs wrote, “It will mitigate the griefing performed to Provider ornithopters by swarming with a number of ornithopters.” So, no extra getting crashed into by a gaggle of cheeky spice discipline seagulls, or pinned down by one till you get wormed, at the price of not with the ability to have a pleasant head-on wreck once you fancy it.
Funcom are even providing a free top-tier buggy, scout ornithopter, assault ornithopter, and service ornithopter to of us who’ve already been into the sport’s check consumer and created a personality, so individuals haven’t any excuse to not see how this tweak works. Directions to say them are within the full notes right here.
Along with that, the devs have lastly added the choice to deposit all the blood and water you are carrying into purifiers and cisterns with one button press, one thing gamers have been begging for since launch. You may as well take all the water again out once more with one button press, although not the blood, which earns a boo from me.
Among the many different tweaks are issues just like the flour sand and spice sand fields in Hagga Basin being put within the path of sandworm hazard, which is dangerous information for people who’ve been profiting from the prospect to assemble these with out having to fret about being Shai-Huluded. The worms have additionally been made barely deadlier, as operating into its physique throughout any of its animations will now end in demise or your automobile going pop.
On a lighter word, the costs of melange spiced beer, spiced wine, spiced liquour, and likewise napalm are all amongst these lowered by the patch in an effort to make them extra engaging to purchase, so there’s your subsequent lengthy weekend within the again backyard of your base sorted.
As I used to be penning this, Funcom have ducked their heads across the door to announce one other change they’re going to be making with this patch. They’re making it unlawful to construct pentashields with out correct help, so when you’ve erected one in that method, this is your warning that it will collapse as soon as patch 1.1.20 goes dwell in full.
The devs are at the moment aiming to have that occur on August 12, so ensure you pin a word to your fridge.
