Henry Cavill has, for the past few years, been ramping up to work on a Warhammer 40k series with Amazon after departing his role as The Witcher’s Geralt in the Netflix series.

However, spice sand is much more complicated as it requires a specific tool to harvest and is easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Sending you out into the worm-infested dunes, spice…
Early on, you’re unlikely to run into many issues finding what you need in Dune: Awakening. Copper, fuel cells, and scrap metal are surprisingly abundant in the wastes of Arrakis.
