Overview

• Patch 1.1.20 is now available on the Steam Public Test Client and is scheduled to go live on official servers on August 12, 2025.
• Colliding ornithopters receive an impulse knockback to separate swarming aircraft and mitigate griefing tactics targeting carrier vehicles.
• Contact with sandworm bodies during any animation will result in player death or vehicle destruction to reinforce the lore-based danger of Arrakis.
• All Pentashields built without proper wall support will collapse when the update deploys, prompting players to rebuild vulnerable structures.
• Quality-of-life enhancements include one-click deposit and extraction buttons for blood purifiers and water cisterns, a reorganized searchable exchange, and redistributed Flour Sand and Spice Sand fields to balance gathering risk.
