Dune: Awakening sandstorms are intense storms that prevent players from moving around the map easily. While in a sandstorm, players will rapidly take damage, and vehicles will rapidly decay. Additionally, any bases without a shield in place will also begin decaying. This can cause bases to be lost if players take long breaks. Server owners can change this by disabling sandstorms on the server, preventing the random storms, and allowing bases to exist without shielding.
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
2. Stop the server.
3. Go to the Startup tab.
4. Select whether to Enable Sandstorms. This will determine whether sandstorms occur at all.
5. Alternatively, adjust Do Sandstorms Spawn to prevent sandstorms from spawning, effectively disabling them.
6. Change the Sandstorm Treasure setting to allow high-value treasure to spawn in Sandstorms.
7. Start the server.
