Managing your inventory doesn't have to be a chore. Here's how to streamline the process:

One-Tap Deposits: If an item in your inventory matches one in a chest or vehicle, tap the "F" key to instantly deposit it. This works for both storage chests and vehicles, such as buggies or ornithopters, saving you from tedious manual transfers.

Vehicle-to-Chest Transfers: To empty a vehicle's inventory, interact with a storage chest and select the “Backpack” option on the left. Choose your vehicle (e.g., buggy or scout ornithopter) to transfer all items directly into the chest. Note: The game currently lacks vehicle naming, so track which vehicle you're emptying to avoid confusion.

Maximize your base's storage capacity by double-stacking chests:

How to Build: Place two small storage chests side by side. Add a half-height wall behind them, then place a roof on top to create a platform. Add another layer of chests on this platform. This setup doubles your storage without expanding your base's footprint.

Limitations: This works only with small storage chests, as medium chests are too tall for stacking under a standard wall height.

Benefits: Double-stacking is ideal for compact bases, especially when you're hitting building caps early in the game.

The circuit system in Dune: Awakening lets you control how resources move between crafting stations and chests. Here's how to use it effectively:

Circuit Basics: Each chest can be assigned to a circuit (e.g., Circuit 1, Circuit 2). The left circuit setting determines which chest a crafting station pulls resources from, while the right setting dictates where crafted items are pushed.

Organizing Resources: Assign specific chests to receive items from Circuit 2 (or another designated circuit) to keep resources organized. For example, set a chest to store only plant fiber to prevent crafting stations from pulling it accidentally.

Protecting Personal Items: Designate a “no-craft” circuit (e.g., Circuit 9) for personal or clan storage. Crafting stations won't pull from this circuit, ensuring your valuable items stay safe.

Sub-Thief Settings: By default, sub-thiefs (base management stations) pull from Circuit 1 for crafting. Change this to a specific circuit (e.g., Circuit 8) if you want to limit which chests are used for building.
