Dune: Awakening patch finally adds the long-awaited Base Reconstruction Tool, meaning breaks from the survival MMO won't cost you your home anymore – but that's not all

Dune: Awakening.

It's finally here – a big new Dune: Awakening update, patch 1.2.30.0, delivers on promises of long-awaited features like the Base Backup Tool and handy cargo containers for ornithopters, with plenty more to be excited about… including some free goodies.

Between its player count dropping over time and requests for Funcom to address everything from combat to exploits, Dune: Awakening hasn't had an entirely smooth journey since its launch in June – but, developers are on the case, working to frequently release updates that target the peskiest issues. One of the most noteworthy, perhaps, has revolved around player bases and just how easy it's been to lose everything you've built.
