Spice blow
Land, skim, leave. A long harvest on open sand calls a worm and a rival thopter.
Blow timing sits in additional game information.
Ornithopter
Height is life. Do not hover over the same dune after a first pass.
Fuel checks before a deep desert run. Walking back is the real death.
Base shields
Power the shield and hide the generator. Related resources cover tight bases versus pretty palaces.
Water still matters. A shielded empty cistern does not keep a guild online.
