Wondering how to get and use Complex Machinery in Dune Awakening? You will need Complex Machinery in Dune: Awakening to create important gear like sandbike engines, buggies, and upgrades for your base.

Because you can’t craft this resource in Dune Awakening, it must be scavenged from locations like Ironworks and Imperial Testing Stations or bought from other players at exchanges like Arrakeen, with optimal collection aided by Survey Probes and upgraded vehicles.

Here’s how you can easily get Complex Machinery and maintain a full stockpile in Dune Awakening.

Where To Find Complex Machinery in Dune Awakening

Where To Find Complex Machinery in Dune Awakening

Ironworks and Imperial Testing Stations are the most convenient places to look for Complex Machinery. There are many old ironworks scattered around the map, for example, the Southeast Ironworks in Vermillius Gap. Visit these areas and search every broken fabricator, refinery, or machine; also check the panels and consoles.

If you look carefully, you can get up to 13 items in a single round. Imperial Testing Stations, for example, the one in Vermillius Gap, are larger and more dangerous, with stronger enemies and complicated layouts.

You’ll find many broken crafting stations here, which give Complex Machinery and also Particle Capacitors for vehicles. Take strong armor and weapons, but you don’t need to worry about water since most stations have water sources inside.

Can You Buy Complex Machinery from Other Players?

You can also visit the Exchange at popular social areas such as Arrakeen. Here, players can sell Complex Machinery, and the price is set by them, so it can be expensive (about 500 Solaris per piece at The Anvil).

You can also get some by trading at the hubs. Mark any lootable machines in your map with the Survey Probe, especially when you are in the Dry Dune Expanse. Having a Cutteray module in your buggy allows you to travel farther and hold more items.
