Looking to craft silicon blocks in Dune: Awakening? You'll first need flour sand — and this guide walks you through how to get it in ridiculous quantities with zero risk involved.

Step 1: Unlock the Static Compactor

To start collecting flour sand efficiently, you must unlock the Static Compactor. This happens after completing the second trial in your Journey progression.

Step 2: Find the Right Location

Head to Eastern Vermilius Gap, one of the best spots for flour sand. Look near the edge of open sands—avoid deep desert zones where Sandworm threat is high.

Step 3: Harvest Efficiently
