Lubricant is an important resource on Arrakis that you can use for a couple of different important processes inDune: Awakening. There are also two different types of lubricant that you’ll want to be able to craft in large quantities: low-grade lubricant and industrial-grade lubricant, which require different resources.

So, how do you find or craft lubricant in Dune: Awakening, and what is it good for? If you’re asking yourself these questions, look no further than this guide. Here’s what you need to know to find the resources necessary to craft lubricant and how to use it in Dune: Awakening.

Two different types of Wind Turbines on a sub-fief in Dune: Awakening.

What To Use Lubricant For?

Lubricant isan important resourcethat you’ll want to have to helppower your sub-fief.

Once you’veresearched the turbine technologyin Dune: Awakening, you can construct these machines topower your base without having to constantly refuelyour generators with fuel cells.

This means you canleave your base unattendedfor longer periods, so long as youcontinue to craft lubricant.

How To Craft Lubricant

To craft lubricant, you’ll need to first knowwhat type of lubricant you need, as well as the resources necessary for each.There are two typesof lubricant in Dune: Awakening.

How To Craft Low-Grade Lubricant

Crafting low-grade lubricant is relatively easy.Here are the resourcesyou’ll need:

You cancraft low-grade lubricant in a small or medium chemical refinery. Crafting in a medium chemical refinery reduces the base level of resources needed and speeds up production time.

Fuel cells and water can be found all over the mapby using your cutteray and blood harvester.

A small chemical refinery in Dune: Awakening crafts low-grade lubricant.

You will need torefine Silicone Blocks from Flour Sand, which can be harvested in specific areas.

Look for clouds of white duston the open sand and use a Static Compactor to harvest.

A small chemical refinery crafts industrial-grade lubricant in Dune: Awakening.

How To Craft Industrial-Grade Lubricant

The process for crafting industrial-grade lubricant is a little more taxing, asthis type of lubricant requires spice.

Here are the resources you’ll needfor industrial-grade lubricant:

Once again, you cancraft this lubricant in either a small or medium chemical refinery, reducing production time and resources spent in a medium refinery.

To obtain Spice Residue, you’ll need tofabricate a Spice Refineryandrefine Spice Sand into Spice Residue.

This can be a bit more time-consuming if you haven’t already accessed the Deep Desert, asspice sand deposits are rarer in the Hagga Basin.
