Survival in the harsh deserts of Dune: Awakening relies heavily on your ability to scavenge and maintain vital resources. Plant fibre is one of the most important resources at the beginning of the game. It is utilised in crafting, particularly in making simple healing equipment. Plant fibre is a crucial tool in keeping you alive in your initial experiences of surviving in the harsh environment of Arrakis.
This manual will guide you through where to find Plant Fibre, how to identify it in the terrain, and the most effective methods for harvesting it on a regular basis.
Where to Find Plant Fibre?
Unlike spice or minerals, Plant Fibre doesn’t manifest itself on open sands or outright on rock surfaces. Instead, it occurs in particular microclimates on the rocky surface of the planet.
Find These Conditions:
- Location: Boundaries of massive rock formations or cliffs.
- Surface Type: Dirt, soil, or foliage-covered ground (not sand or bare rock).
- Visual Cue: Small, greenish-brown bushes that contrast with the surrounding terrain.
How to Confirm: Go up to the plant and check for a harvest cue. If you’re able to interact with it, it’s a legitimate Plant Fibre bush. If not, it’s probably decorative leaves.
(Note: Plant Fibre nodes tend to be bunched together. Once you spot one, there typically are several others nearby.)
How to Efficiently Farm Plant Fibre?
Fortunately, Dune: Awakening has a bountiful resource respawn rate, and Plant Fibre is not an exception.
Quick Respawn Rate:
- Plant Fibre bushes have a respawn rate of approximately 30–60 seconds after harvest.
- You can simply stand there and wait for the same bushes to respawn.
Farming Strategy:
- Look for a clump of Plant Fibre bushes close to a safe spot—best if near your base or a familiar landmark.
- Harvest the whole group, then wait within the area.
- Once they respawn, harvest again.
- Continue this cycle to build a bulk supply quickly.
This low-risk harvesting strategy is best suited for beginners or those who wish to harvest resources passively while crafting, repairing equipment, or preparing for expeditions.
(Note: If you’re establishing your base, put it in the vicinity of a known Plant Fibre spawn point. You’ll have easy, frequent access to healing materials with minimal movement.)
Why You Should Stock Up on Plant Fibre?
Plant fibre is not filler material—it’s an early-game survival pillar.
Uses Include:
- Preparation of simple healing items
- Construction of early equipment and tools
- Possible mid-tier recipe ingredient (as crafting allows)
Being out of Plant Fibre in the middle of a fight—or while venturing into a spice-filled area—will leave you defenceless. Have at least one complete stack stocked up before going out into unknown territory.
