Dune: Awakeningis an MMO and a survival game, which means there’s a lot of exploration, gathering, and crafting involved in the leveling process. One of the many resources that players will need to find and stockpile is a device called anEMF Generator, used in the construction of various survival and building tools.

The first places that characters visit in their earliest levelswill be locations that containEMF Generators, and they might not be essential immediately, but it’s a good idea to stockpile them for future crafting. They’re used in a variety of recipes that include machines, vehicles, and other items essential for surviving the desert of Shai Hulud.

What Is An EMF Generator?

A Common Component In Many Recipes

The EMF Generator is described in the game as a “fabrication component,” and the example given for a common recipe is the Cutteray tool, which is used for mining low-level ore. To add more detail, this description refers to the Cutteray Mk1 model; there’s an improvised version that only requiresSalvaged Metal,and thecharacter can make it by handwithout any kind of fabrication device.

Any of the tools that players need at the Mk1 or Mk2 levels require EMF Generators and a General Fabricator to construct. These include Blood Extractors, Dew Reapers, Static Compactors, and Survey Probes, among other things. These items aren’t weapons or armor, but they’re essential for finding, gathering, and refining resources.

A Survival Fabricator, which is a more advanced device that players can put in their homes, is a quick way to replace many of the tools that require an EMF Generator. It’s useful should the character lose their accessoriesbecause of quicksand, PvP, or the whims of Shai Hulud.

Where To Find Them

This Special Ingredient Can’t Be Constructed

When the player first starts to construct gear and equipment using a General Fabricator or a Survival Fabricator, most of the recipes require EMF Generators. They’re plentiful in the Hagga Basin, but the Vermillius Gap also contains several good farming locations. Checking these locations on the map will often tell the player what resources are there

Open World Locations

The best way to find EMF Generators is in the open world. These are useful parts and can be looted from various places,but be prepared for a fight.

Recycling

Players who have advanced enough intheir house-building skillscan build a Recycler in their base, and certain advanced pieces of gear will yield EMF generators. Any items that require an EMF Generator will also yield them when put through the Recycler, but the amount will be less than what was initially required.

Buying Them

EMF Generators are also available for purchase if the player has access to certain social hubs and enough Solaris to spend.
