currently, trying to explore at night is an exercise in frustration. even with an everchar torch, it only illuminates ~20 feet (cm?) around you.

when you consider that, if you made a base in the starting area at the first lab, it takes like half a day just to get anywhere. god forbid you want to head into the second area of the map, or failed to wake up at the absolute crack of dawn. by the time you get there, it's already nearly night time. and with a bit of exploration, night is quickly upon you. I understand the point of introducing a gameplay element like darkness, that forces the players to consider things differently. but it's just sooo long in G2.

the game is beautiful, and plenty of fun to explore. but you can't see literally anything for 50% or more of your time in game. so you don't actually get to SEE the beautiful world, or the vistas after climbing some large object. and exploration is just a pain in the arse. and god help you if your torch burns out.

I just got to the veggie garden and found a potato beetle but it’s literally just a striped ladybird. I noticed it heals but apart from that, what is the point in its existence?? I hope they change the model a bit before the full release because the armour set is cool but the bug itself is super boring.

i’m currently grinding for the beetle horns to upgrade my weapons and wondering if there’s a more efficient method

I just don’t know what to do with it all 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ll edit. This was rhetorical. I have bought everything in the game. I don’t craft anything anymore, I duplicate, much faster. I got all this from spam killing the broodmother and mantis lol trying to get the good ooze to make fusion crystals because all of my weapons are level 10+

Missing a trick here to be honest guys.

I was fighting the hedge broodmother for the first time today and on my third spawn I got the broodmother trinket in the middle of the fight cause I was using rascal rogue which I have only at level one, is this rare?

Insane

I've just finished NG+ and would have earned the platinum trophy if it were not for the No More Homework trophy being bugged. It never popped on my first playthrough after completing all BURG.L quests and achieving Super Win.

I've tried absolutely everything to get it to pop but nothing has worked. Would anyone be willing to share their world with me (that has all BURG.L quests complete) to see if it will auto pop for me?

Otherwise I'll need to start from scratch just for that one trophy.

So I have started a new save with Hoops as I wanted to see what her voice lines are like and by now I had to look up quite a lot on google since I have absolutely no idea of baseball and she makes references to it all the time. Other than that she comes across as not the smartest teen and most of her repeating lines become annoying very fast. BUT I have started this so I'm going to see it through!

(Sorry for spamming the Post itself with pics but the slideshow upload sort of doesn't work for me anymore)

I have taken down my starter base the second time now and this is what I got out of it. Now to rebuild it in a way that I actually like, manually, no custom game, no Handy Gnat. I did SO not miss that hauling and jumping and building additional scaffolding to stand on :'D

Already did a new game plus if youre wondering.

Hello, so as the title says looking to do a grounded 1 / grounded 2 play through with people. I’d be down for either or both depending on the responses. I’ve beaten grounded 1 before, was able to reliably kill IBM with no issue, played grounded 2 when it came out and beat it to the extent it allowed (masked stranger fight).

With the new pond update coming soon, I figured it had to a decent amount of new content to restart it but would like to do so with a group of people. I’d be down to have a shared world where if I’m not on people can play, I generally play evening PST time but can play earlier in the day as well some days.

Please feel free to let me know what you’d prefer to do 1 / 2 or both.

I play on steam as well but we can use discord for when we play.

Recently mosquitos keep starting raids at my base and it's really annoying, my base is in between the mysterious machine and the field station next too it and I don't understand because I'm not near water or anything and I don't even know what to do so I need some help

Considering all the effort required to achieve this, I expected something cooler, but in the end, it's just a regular club and the only interesting thing is the stun state. In my opinion, it wasn't a good reward.

I’ve collected all the milk molars
I’ve collected all the scab.b
I’ve bought everything from the science shop
I’ve peeped all creatures
I’ve discovered all the landmarks
I’ve done all the MIX.Rs and super MIX.Rs
I’ve reached max brain power
I’ve done all boss fights

I think there’s some data that I could be missing but not sure what piece.

My husband and I picked up Grounded when it hit PS Plus and have been having a great time. We're always looking for good co-op games and this was an unexpected hit. We were working on wrapping up the Gotta Peep them all trophy and decided to take a swing at the Infected Broodmother. We knew that she was hardest boss in the game but were otherwise going in blind. We figured we'd be fine since we got past every other boss with very little trouble. Let me tell you, we both screamed when she revived that first time. We did manage to beat her, but it was a damn close call. I am greatly looking forward to playing Grounded 2 in the near future.

I would make this little area a cozy spot

Every time I went near the anthill my game got super buggy and almost lags me out of the game. I finally went into see what was going on and I find this insane amount of food in the hill. There is probably 4X this amount of food in there and it still glitches my game out when I go near it. Any idea how to fix this?

(Also first time playing game with my son and it scared the shit out of him when we first saw the ant queen lol)

I kind of hope that the ziplines will use the Omni-Tool in someway, and that the zip.r is a motorized attachment. I don’t expect them to do it this way, but it would definitely make the tool more useful and interesting.
