You can't craft the Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler. It comes from containers in wrecks, testing stations and caves along the Shield Wall in the Deep Desert, or from three vendors at 5,000 Solaris each. Eleven recipes use it, from the Cutteray Mk5 up to the Omni Static Compactor.
This guide lists all eleven recipes with amounts, the loot spots sorted by location, the vendors and our own math on what a wreck gives you on average. The Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler is the tier 5 counterpart to the Ray Amplifier, which is covered in our Dune Awakening components guide.
๐ฆ What the Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler is
In Dune Awakening, the Thermoelectric Cooler is a tier 5 crafting component listed under components. Its item text says it cools down harvesting tools used in the Deep Desert, and spare parts are usually found on the Shield Wall there. The loot data further down backs that up.
The key stats come from dune.gaming.tools, a database that reads its values from the game files: stacks up to 500, volume 0.1 per unit, rarity Common. There is no crafting recipe. The community wiki awakening.wiki lists the item since version 1.1.0 and notes that it isn't dropped when you die.
๐ ๏ธ Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler recipes: all 11 uses
The Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler only goes into harvesting gear: Cutterays, buggy attachments and compactors at tiers 5 and 6. No weapon, armor or base piece asks for it. The amounts are for grade 0 according to dune.gaming.tools (data version 1.5.3.7):
| Recipe | Tier | Station | Cooler | Other main ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cutteray Mk5 | 5 | Survival Fabricator | 5 | 30 Duraluminum Ingot, 14 EMF Generator, 12 Cobalt Paste, 8 Ray Amplifier, 350 water |
| Tarl Cutteray | 5 | Survival Fabricator | 6 | 35 Duraluminum Ingot, 17 EMF Generator, 14 Cobalt Paste, 10 Ray Amplifier, 10 Spice-infused Duraluminum Dust |
| Compact Compactor Mk5 | 5 | Survival Fabricator | 5 | 28 Duraluminum Ingot, 17 EMF Generator, 30 Silicone Block, 14 Cobalt Paste, 10 Spice-infused Duraluminum Dust |
| Buggy Cutteray Mk5 | 5 | Vehicles Fabricator | 8 | 72 Duraluminum Ingot, 32 Particle Capacitor, 27 Cobalt Paste, 18 Ray Amplifier, 790 water |
| Focused Buggy Cutteray Mk5 | 5 | Vehicles Fabricator | 10 | 83 Duraluminum Ingot, 37 Particle Capacitor, 32 Cobalt Paste, 21 Ray Amplifier, 21 Spice-infused Duraluminum Dust |
| Cutteray Mk6 | 6 | Advanced Survival Fabricator | 7 | 38 Plastanium Ingot, 23 EMF Generator, 22 Cobalt Paste, 6 Thermo-Responsive Ray Amplifier, 21 Spice Melange |
| Kynes's Cutteray | 6 | Advanced Survival Fabricator | 8 | 44 Plastanium Ingot, 26 EMF Generator, 26 Cobalt Paste, 7 Thermo-Responsive Ray Amplifier, 65 Spice Melange, 12 Spice-infused Plastanium Dust |
| Compact Compactor Mk6 | 6 | Advanced Survival Fabricator | 6 | 35 Plastanium Ingot, 21 EMF Generator, 26 Cobalt Paste, 10 Improved Holtzman Actuator, 65 Spice Melange, 12 Spice-infused Plastanium Dust |
| Omni Static Compactor | 6 | Advanced Survival Fabricator | 7 | 40 Plastanium Ingot, 24 EMF Generator, 30 Cobalt Paste, 8 Improved Holtzman Actuator, 45 Spice Melange |
| Buggy Cutteray Mk6 | 6 | Advanced Vehicle Fabricator | 12 | 91 Plastanium Ingot, 41 Particle Capacitor, 50 Cobalt Paste, 13 Thermo-Responsive Ray Amplifier, 63 Spice Melange |
| Focused Buggy Cutteray Mk6 | 6 | Advanced Vehicle Fabricator | 28 | 105 Plastanium Ingot, 48 Particle Capacitor, 58 Cobalt Paste, 15 Thermo-Responsive Ray Amplifier, 145 Spice Melange, 27 Spice-infused Plastanium Dust |
Handheld tools take 15 seconds to craft, buggy attachments 20 seconds. Tarl Cutteray, Kynes's Cutteray, both Compact Compactors and the two Focused Buggy Cutterays are unique variants with their own schematic. How much the Cutteray Mk5 gets out of Jasmium is in our guide on making Duraluminum.
Heads up, the sources disagree: the community wiki awakening.wiki (as of October 16, 2026) lists higher amounts almost everywhere. Examples: 7 instead of 5 for the Cutteray Mk5, 11 instead of 8 for the Buggy Cutteray Mk5 and 35 instead of 28 for the Focused Buggy Cutteray Mk6. Only the Omni Static Compactor matches at 7 in both. We list the database values. What your fabricator shows is what counts.
๐ Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler locations on the Shield Wall
dune.gaming.tools lists 129 containers with the Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler, all in the Deep Desert and all in the sectors of rows A and B. That's the Shield Wall strip, and according to the community wiki its points of interest stay put through the weekly Coriolis Storm. Our Deep Desert map guide shows which locations those are. The database doesn't list a single spot in the Hagga Basin.
The database splits the containers into three types. A Basic Container drops 0 to 5, a Rare Container 0 to 8 and an Ultra Rare Container 2 to 11. Ultra Rare Containers are the only ones with a guaranteed drop.
| Location (sector) | Containers with coolers | Ultra Rare among them | Range per database |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wreck of the Stasanor (A9) | 15 | 1 | 2โ99 |
| Wreck of the Hicetas (A1) | 15 | 1 | 2โ99 |
| Imperial Testing Station No. 186 (A8) | 7 | 1 | 2โ47 |
| Imperial Testing Station No. 185 (A3) | 7 | 1 | 2โ47 |
| Imperial Testing Station No. 93 (A5) | 6 | 1 | 2โ39 |
| Wreck of the Archidamas III (A3) and Wreck of the Proxenus (A7) | 6 each | 1 each | 2โ39 each |
| Wreck of the Xenophon (A5) | 5 | 1 | 2โ34 |
| Imperial Testing Station No. 37 (A2) | 4 | 1 | 2โ29 |
| Wrecks of the Hyperbatas, Dioedas, Orsippus, Cycliadas and Eumenes | 4 each | 1 each | 2โ29 each |
| Imperial Testing Stations No. 217 and No. 148 | 2 each | 1 each | 2โ19 each |
On top of that, the database lists 18 containers in several caves in sectors A1, A5 and A8. Six of them are small Ultra Rare Containers with 2 to 11 coolers each. A few single Basic Containers with 0 to 5 sit at smaller spots along the wall. The community wiki names chests in the testing stations as a typical source, which matches the database.
๐งฎ Our math: what a wreck run gets you
We added up the ranges above from the database values per container. For an expected value, we assume every amount between minimum and maximum is equally likely. That's our assumption, because the database doesn't give a distribution. The result:
- Wreck of the Stasanor or Hicetas: about 50 coolers per fully looted wreck
- Imperial Testing Station No. 185 or 186: about 24
- Small wreck with four containers: about 15
According to the database, all eleven recipes together need 102 of the Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler. With the wiki values it's 128. The five tier 5 recipes take 34, the six tier 6 recipes take 68. One cleared Stasanor wreck covers the Cutteray Mk5 plus the Buggy Cutteray Mk5 (13 together) almost four times over. The Focused Buggy Cutteray Mk6 alone eats 28, more than half of such a wreck.
๐ฐ Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler vendors: Zoe, Dr. Shaffat and Fleshshaper Phrakk
According to dune.gaming.tools, three vendors sell the Thermoelectric Cooler: Zoe, Dr. Shaffat and Fleshshaper Phrakk, each with 15 in stock at 5,000 Solaris. The community wiki mentions an unnamed vendor at the Crossroads Tradepost in the Hagga Basin. Selling one only gets you 25 Solaris.
The math is clear. The 13 coolers for the Cutteray Mk5 and the Buggy Cutteray Mk5 cost 65,000 Solaris at a vendor. All three stocks together are 45 coolers for 225,000 Solaris. The full 102 for all eleven recipes would run you 510,000. Buying only makes sense for the last few you're missing. Faster ways to make money are in our Solaris farming guide.
โป๏ธ Recycling: getting the Dune Awakening Thermoelectric Cooler back
All eleven items from the recipe table return part of the Thermoelectric Cooler when you recycle them, according to the database. For the Cutteray Mk5 at grade 0, it estimates two coolers plus four EMF Generators and two Ray Amplifiers. That's less than half of the five you put in. It's mainly worth it for Cutterays and compactors you looted and don't use.
๐ก Tips for farming the Thermoelectric Cooler in Dune Awakening
- Big wrecks first: Stasanor and Hicetas have 15 matching containers each, more than any other location.
- Never skip Ultra Rare Containers: they always give at least two.
- Pick your instance: according to Funcom, PvP in the PvP instance starts in row B outside the Shield Wall area. Almost every spot is in row A, but if you want to farm with zero risk, take the PvE instance.
- Plan the Ray Amplifiers too: the Cutteray Mk5 also needs eight Ray Amplifiers and 30 Duraluminum Ingots. Get both before you head out.
The path to tier 6 is covered in our guide on making Plastanium.
