How To Get Water – Dune Spice Wars

Besides Windtraps, you can build this building in Special Regions. They gather ice and filter it into Water. While they have a higher upkeep, the return rate is fantastic! You will get around 50 Water easily from these.
At the beginning of a game, look for Special Regions and try to build one of these. It will make the game go much smoother.
