Where to Find Basalt and Granite in Dune Awakening
Granite Stone is everywhere in Hagga Basin, densest at the Ironworks. Basalt sits in the north-west: Wreck of the Alecto, Rockwarren. Exact spots on a map.

Granite Stone is the most common stone in Hagga Basin, densest around the Northwest and Southwest Ironworks and the Table of the Gods. Any cutteray will do. Basalt Stone is rarer and sits in the north-west, best at the Wreck of the Alecto, Rockwarren Village and Kynes's Promise. For basalt nodes you need a Cutteray Mk3.
| Stone | Hagga Basin nodes | Loose stones (Hagga) | Deep Desert nodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Granite Stone | 23,268 | 86,314 | 39,806 |
| Basalt Stone | 9,996 | 21,394 | 39,738 |
Loose stones lie on the ground and can be picked up by hand. Rock nodes need a cutteray.
Where to find Granite Stone in Hagga Basin
Granite is on almost every rocky area, so mine what's near your base. If you need a big batch, these spots have the most nodes:
| Place | Type | Nodes nearby |
|---|---|---|
| Northwest Ironworks | Enemy labor outpost | 188 |
| Southwest Ironworks | Enemy labor outpost | 178 |
| Table of the Gods | Landmark | 152 |
| Kaleff's Monument | Landmark | 138 |
| Southeast Ironworks | Enemy labor outpost | 127 |
Northwest Ironworks
The densest granite spot on the map. Salvaged Metal and Fuel Cells are packed around it too, so bring cargo space.
Table of the Gods
A landmark rather than an enemy outpost, with 152 granite nodes around it.
Southwest Ironworks
178 nodes. Like the Northwest Ironworks, it doubles as a salvage field.
Where to find Basalt Stone in Hagga Basin
Basalt clusters in the north-west of the basin:
| Place | Type | Nodes nearby |
|---|---|---|
| Wreck of the Alecto | Shipwreck | 172 |
| Rockwarren Village | Landmark | 113 |
| Kynes's Promise | Landmark | 103 |
| Imperial Testing Station No. 17 | Testing station | 91 |
| Windsong | Landmark | 90 |
| Stonestep Village | Landmark | 89 |
Wreck of the Alecto
The best basalt field in Hagga. It is also the top spot for aluminum ore, so you can fill both in one trip.
Kynes's Promise, Windsong and Rockwarren Village
Three landmarks on the western edge of the basin, about 300 basalt nodes between them.
Basalt and granite in the Deep Desert
The Deep Desert has about 40,000 nodes of each stone, mostly around shipwrecks. You don't need to go there for stone, but if you build an outpost there, check where it sits this week:
What you need to mine them
- Granite: any cutteray, including the Improvised Cutteray (2 Salvaged Metal at a Fabricator).
- Basalt: a Cutteray Mk3 for the nodes: 15 Steel Ingots, 10 EMF Generators, 10 Cobalt Paste, 5 Ray Amplifiers and 90 ml of water at the Survival Fabricator. Without it you can only collect loose basalt.
What Basalt and Granite are used for
Granite Stone is the basic building material. It goes into almost every buildable piece:
| Piece | Starter CHOAM set | Upgraded CHOAM set |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | 12 | 15 |
| Wall | 8 | 10 |
| Floor | 8 | 10 |
Planning to switch to the upgraded set later? Each piece costs about a quarter more granite, so mine 25 % extra on top of your plan.
Most house furniture also costs granite: 50 per large piece (beds, desks, chairs) and 25 per small ornament.
Basalt Stone is refined into Plastone at a Medium Ore Refinery. Plastone is the material of the Atreides and Harkonnen building sets: a foundation costs 18 Plastone, a wall or floor 12.
Where is the best place to farm Granite Stone?
The Northwest Ironworks (188 nodes nearby), the Southwest Ironworks (178) and the Table of the Gods (152) in Hagga Basin.
Where do I find Basalt Stone?
In north-west Hagga Basin: the Wreck of the Alecto (172 nodes), Rockwarren Village (113) and Kynes's Promise (103).
What Cutteray do I need for Basalt?
