Grounded - Useful Tips and Tricks (Gameplay and Issues)

Warning! This guide contains spoilers.

Tips For Players

Issues

Remove or disable any antivirus program you have.Disable firewall, private and public.

Figured it out, you have to create a lobby and stay in the character select screen, then get your friends to join lobby, it will say none found, then they have to search up friends that have a lobby open and voila, what a palava but thats how you get it to work.

Note: you need an Xbox live account.

On the beginning screen in the top right corner there is an option to "log out" then you can sign in with a different Xbox account again.

Gameplay Tips

Don't place a base anywhere near an ant hill and they won't bother you too much. Also don't store food inside your base, even in storage containers. That's what they come for.

Make sure it is equipped and make sure you activate it while you are moderately high from the ground by pressing shift.

You may to find a stick or piece of wood. While the place you're in is typically grassy, you may from time to time stumble upon a few sticks and twigs. Once you do, take a look at all round them, due to the fact globs of sap can normally be located on caught on all sides! On early game you can find alot of sap near the Mite cave. Later find it head over giant oak tree with red leaves. Beware of the spiders. There are alot of them.

Using the Creative option the Tier 2 Axe is made from:

• 1x Ladybug Head.
• 3x Bombardier Parts.
• 4x Spider Silk.

Researching any of those above 'should' present the Tier 2 Axe

To kill bombardier beetles get yourself the ant club or mint mallet and run close to them to bait out their close range acid attack then after they used it run back in and melee them,rinse and repeat till dead.

Once you get to the lab under the oak tree and help the robot up you get to buy the plans for palisade walls and gates, stairs, and normal grass plank floors.

You need to have the repair tool for that. So just whack the walls with the repair tool.

If you scan lots of items and attack a few different insects all give you science points if you can have about 300 science by the time you get to the oak labs there is another 700 science hidden around inside there which takes you to 1000 then you have 2 choices buy the upgrade that lets your watch thing locate nearby science or buy the items box which gives you stairs floors etc.

Bonus

• It's a cool premise walking among blades of grass, and if you think that sounds cool, it's pretty neat. The biomes are dense and look good.
• There is a lot of verticality to the maps so you can jump and climb on the environment more than most survival games, to a point.
• It's a small feeling map, so my first impression is replay may be limited.
• Enemies are hp sponges, and early gear breaks early, so going into caves, or deep into the yard takes careful planning and resource management.

• Seems very similar to other base building games at least in its basic toolset. Note you can place walls without placing floors first, so its a bit more flexible.
• Enemies will attack base and can easily trash placed tech items. In my case, I had waaaay more enemies than I could deal with as a single player at my progress level, so base was lost, mostly, and had to start over. In those moments, it feels more balanced towards MP.
• Some resources from destroyed items will end up on the ground, so it's not a total loss.
• Current bug where vendor who sells floor schematic won't unlock and quest gets bugged. So in that case, no base building 4u >< Had to start over due to that particular bug.
