Dune Awakening Advanced Machinery is a Mk6 component you can craft yourself, loot in the Deep Desert or buy from the Landsraad for House Scrip. It goes into 13 recipes: four unique Mk6 engines, the Sandcrawler Vacuum Mk6 and eight ranged weapon augmentations.
Below you'll find the crafting recipe, all 13 recipes with amounts per grade from the game data, the loot spots with drop chances, the vendor and our own math on what a Mk6 engine really costs.
โ๏ธ What Dune Awakening Advanced Machinery is
The dune.gaming.tools database reads its values from the game files (data version 1.5.3.7) and files Advanced Machinery under miscellaneous components. Per its item text, it's used to craft plastanium-tier infrastructure and can be found in the Deep Desert, granted as a Landsraad reward or made at the Advanced Survival Fabricator. That makes it the Mk6 counterpart to the Complex Machinery it's built from.
| Property | Value per database |
|---|---|
| Name | Advanced Machinery |
| Category | Miscellaneous, components |
| Tier / rarity | Mk6 / Common |
| Volume / stack size | 0.1 / 500 |
| Craftable | Yes, Advanced Survival Fabricator |
| Base price | 65 |
๐ ๏ธ How to craft Dune Awakening Advanced Machinery
Unlike the Industrial Pump, this component can be crafted. The recipe at the Advanced Survival Fabricator makes one unit in 3 seconds:
- 3 Complex Machinery
- 2 Plasteel Plate
- 1 Cobalt Paste
- 50 Water
The bottleneck is the Plasteel Plate. Per the database it has no recipe and no vendor, and its item text only mentions finds in the Deep Desert and Landsraad rewards. Complex Machinery is easier: Ormuna Laaks, Kahraman Reis, Tyg Rolsum, Soha Sirrendrin and Beatriz Luna sell it for 500 Solaris each, with 25 in stock apiece. How to get Plastanium and the Advanced Survival Fabricator is in our Plastanium guide.
The community wiki awakening.wiki shows the same recipe and lists the item since version 1.1.0.
๐ Where to find Advanced Machinery in Dune Awakening
Per the database, the best loot source for Dune Awakening Advanced Machinery is the containers in the Deep Desert. It lists twelve map variants of the Deep Desert and shows two loot tables for almost every container. Only for the Fallen Shipwreck are they labeled as PvE and PvP areas. It's likely the other pairs mean the same split, but no source confirms that.
| Deep Desert container | Chance and amount (variant 1) | Chance and amount (variant 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Container | 9.7% for 2 to 4 | 11.2% for 2 to 4 or 19.8% for 2 to 6 |
| Rare Container | 18.5% for 2 to 5 | 23.9% for 4 to 6 or 38.0% for 2 to 9 |
| Ultra Rare Container | 38.1% for 6 to 9 | 38.1% for 6 to 9 or 61.7% for 6 to 14 |
| Fallen Shipwreck | PvE: 24.9% for 2 to 7 | PvP: 40.2% for 2 to 9 |
Almost all of the matching containers sit in the regular Shipwrecks, the large wrecks that aren't Fallen Shipwrecks. One of these has about 20 to 28 containers that can drop Advanced Machinery. The database lists one to six of these wrecks per map variant, and their sectors move between rows B and I from one variant to the next. Where those rows are is on our Deep Desert map. In caves and buried testing stations the chance is mostly below one percent.
Loot spots outside the Deep Desert
The database lists more places, but with small amounts:
| Location | Containers | Chance and amount |
|---|---|---|
| Wind Pass | 40 | basic 4.2% for 1 to 2, rare 10.8% for 2 |
| The Broodworks | 30 | basic 4.2% for 1 to 2, rare 10.8% for 2 |
| Arsunt garrison (two variants) | 23 and 24 | basic 4.2% for 1 to 2, rare 10.8% for 2 |
| The Tyche wreck | 21 | basic 9.4% for 1 to 2, rare up to 23.4% for 2 to 3 |
| The Ruins of Tsimpo, The Smuggler's Run, Blushing Cavern | 13, 12, 11 | mostly 4.2% for 1 to 2 |
| The Old Quarry, Imperial Testing Stations 24, 89, 136, 152 and 195 | 1 each | ultra rare 8.1% for 3 to 5 |
In The Old Quarry and those testing stations, the same ultra rare containers also hold the schematics for the augmentations further down.
๐ Vendor and Landsraad: House Scrip, not Solaris
Per the database, the only vendor is the Landsraad Crafting Vendor. It sells Advanced Machinery for 125 House Scrip each with no stock limit, and it won't take Solaris for it. On top of that come Landsraad rewards: tier 1 with 25 units (2.21% chance), tier 3 with 50 (5.56%), tier 4 with 100 (2.6%) and tier 5 with 75 (5.56%). How the reward tiers work is in our Landsraad guide.
Selling isn't worth it. Per the database, vendors like Zoe pay 5 percent of the base price of 65, so 3 to 4 Solaris per unit.

Vehicle parts (Advanced Vehicle Fabricator, 20 seconds)
| Part | Advanced Machinery | Other ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Bluddshot Buggy Engine Mk6 | 30 | 79 Plastanium Ingot, 58 Cobalt Paste, 24 Particle Capacitor, 145 Spice Melange, 27 Spice-infused Plastanium Dust, 15 Tri-Forged Hydraulic Piston, 1,240 Water |
| Mohandis Sandbike Engine Mk6 | 30 | same as the Bluddshot Buggy Engine |
| Walker Sandcrawler Engine Mk6 | 30 | same as the Bluddshot Buggy Engine |
| Swift Treadwheel Engine Mk6 | 30 | 100 Plastanium Ingot, 80 Cobalt Paste, 24 Particle Capacitor, 190 Spice Melange, 35 Spice-infused Plastanium Dust, 15 Tri-Forged Hydraulic Piston, 1,240 Water |
| Sandcrawler Vacuum Mk6 | 9 | 45 Plastanium Ingot, 27 Advanced Servoks, 33 Cobalt Paste, 42 Spice Melange, 830 Water |
The four engines are unique parts with their own schematic. For the week of October 27 to November 3, 2026, the database listed the Deep Desert as the schematic source. The Landsraad vehicle vendor also sells the Sandcrawler Vacuum Mk6 ready-made. More on the vehicle is in our Sandcrawler guide.
Augmentations (Advanced Weapons Fabricator, 15 seconds)
| Augmentation | Grade 1 | Grade 2 | Grade 3 | Grade 4 | Grade 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity Expander | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
| Quick-release Trigger | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
| Quickloader | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
| Missile Launcher Fragmenter | โ | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Missile Launcher Quickloader | โ | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Missile Launcher Disruptive Coating | โ | โ | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Missile Launcher Obliterator | โ | โ | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Missile Launcher Heavy Payload | โ | โ | 5 | 6 | 7 |
At Grade 1 you also need, for example, 12 Plastanium Ingot, 5 Regis Component, 4 Plasteel Composite Gun Parts, 6 Spice-infused Plastanium Dust and 3 Schematic Pattern Grade 1. Per the database, the augmentation cost reduction skill cuts costs by 10, 20 and 30 percent across its three ranks. How augmentations work in general is covered in our augmentations guide.
Heads up, the sources disagree: the community wiki (as of October 5, 2026, status "In Review") only lists three engines and the Sandcrawler Vacuum, with higher secondary ingredients like 100 instead of 79 Plastanium Ingot. The Advanced Machinery amounts match at 30 and 9. What your fabricator shows is what counts.
๐งฎ Our math: what a Mk6 engine costs
A unique Mk6 engine needs 30 Advanced Machinery. Here's how the options compare:
| Route | Cost for 30 units |
|---|---|
| Craft it | 90 Complex Machinery (45,000 Solaris at vendors), 60 Plasteel Plate, 30 Cobalt Paste, 1,500 Water, 90 seconds |
| Landsraad Crafting Vendor | 3,750 House Scrip |
| Fallen Shipwreck containers | about 27 containers on average (PvE) or 14 (PvP) |
| Regular Shipwreck | two to three fully looted wrecks on average, one with the stronger loot table |
The basis: if every amount in the range is equally likely, a Fallen Shipwreck container gives 1.1 units on average (PvE) or 2.2 (PvP). A whole regular Shipwreck comes to about 12 to 16 units depending on the loot table, and up to 37 for wrecks with the stronger table. Equal odds per amount is our assumption, not something the database states.
All five vendors together stock 125 Complex Machinery, enough for 41 Advanced Machinery. Building each of the 13 recipes once at the lowest grade takes 158 units, and at Grade 5 it's 176. The four engines alone account for 120. Recycling gets some back: a Mk6 engine returns 8 without the recycling skill, and its three ranks raise the yield by up to 100 percent. The Sandcrawler Vacuum returns 3.
