⬡ Dune: Awakening — Base Resource Calculator

Plan your sub-fief before you set foot on Arrakis. This free calculator lets you build out your entire base configuration and instantly see the total resource requirements, power balance, fuel consumption and water production — whether you're building in the standard zones or deep in the desert where materials cost half as much.

Add placeables from six categories, choose your building set for construction pieces, configure your vehicle fleet for the Trip Planner, and export a full build sheet as a PDF to share with your guild. Every build generates a shareable Build Code so you can save, reload and share configurations across sessions.

// Frequently Asked Questions

A free browser-based planning tool for sub-fief builds. Add your placeables, generators, building pieces and vehicle parts to instantly see power balance, total resource requirements, fuel consumption, water production, and how many vehicle trips you need to haul everything out to the Deep Desert.

Toggle the Deep Desert switch to automatically halve all material costs — matching the in-game 50% discount for building in the Deep Desert. Fuel and consumable rates are unaffected since ongoing running costs don't benefit from the discount.

Add generators (Fuel-Powered, Wind Turbine Omnidirectional, Wind Turbine Directional, or Spice-Powered) and all consuming placeables. The Build Summary shows net power, total generated and total consumed live as you build.

Configure your fleet in the Trip Planner — pick each vehicle, its storage upgrade tier, and how many you have. The calculator divides total resource volume by total fleet capacity and shows exact trip counts per vehicle.

The Fuel & Consumables panel breaks down exact consumable requirements at 1 hour, 8 hours, 24 hours and 1 week per generator type. Wind turbines use lubricant, fuel generators use Fuel Cells, and spice generators use Spice-infused Fuel Cells.

Every build generates a Build Code automatically. Copy it and paste it anywhere — Discord, a notes app, a group chat. Anyone can paste it into the Build Code box and hit Load to restore the exact same configuration.

All four sets: CHOAM Shelter, CHOAM Facility, Atreides Stronghold and Harkonnen Stronghold. Pick the set from the dropdown on each piece, enter a quantity, and hit Add — each set and piece is tracked separately so you can mix sets in the same build.

Pentashields cost 3 watts per tile covered, not a fixed amount. When you add one, enter how many tiles it covers and the power draw updates instantly. Vertical and horizontal shields are tracked independently.
