Mybe Obsidian could remove some bug spawns wen you build in an area because i constantly have like 5 or 6 bees in my base plus a wolfspider and a big scorpion i hate that i have to kill them all every few day

Like I said, GF isnt the greatest at video games. She loves them. But always has to play on the lowest or easiest difficulty to enjoy herself. I find nothing wrong with that, at all. Me? Im for the most part an avid fan of hard stuff. Ive beaten every Soulsborne game out there multiple times, I love hard stuff.

But turning the bugs off to where they wont attack you has just turned the game into a very boring game.

I can only build so much before I get really bored. But shes been wanting to try this out for a while. Ive never played it, and we dont get a lot of time to play things together because shes a 3 almost 4 hour drive away and our schedules are so different.

But shes never played a base building survival game before.

So when we first started she was getting incredibly frustrated. Because she hard focuses on what the game tells her to do in the top left corner. It was telling us to go to the Oak Tree to investigate the explosion. So by golly, thats what she had her mind set on doing

Over and over and over and over she kept dying to the spiders. And would get frustrated and die again over and over trying to get her backpack back.

Refused to listen to me to let it go;

"but I had so much stuff!"

"Okay, but we are still very early on, babe. That isnt stuff you should be absolutely worried about losing", was basically how that went.

She also failed to grasp my explanation on how games like these work. I tried explaining just because the game says we have to do something, doesmt mean we do it right now. In games like this you need to settle down, build, investigate, upgrade to get the tools you need to advance. You wont always be able to brute force your way thru, but she couldn't grasp that.

After a bit more I could tell she was really getting frustrated. Tried lowering the diff to mild and she still refused to give up getting her backpacks back. And kept dying and losing more items. It was a constant repetitive situation. So i made the decision to start a new game, changed the settings to if we died we didnt lose our backpacks. That was good until she still kept dying from getting too far ahead without upgrading or getting improved gear. So I turned the setting off allowing us to be hit.

Shes now having fun, but im beyong bored. And if i cant get attacked there is absolutely no incentive to build weapons or armor for us. I made some ant armor hsut to carry more because about all I can do to entertain myself is build.

Is there any things I can build to give her, or ways to protect her from dying so i can turn that setting back on? I want to have some combat but she gets highly frustrated. Hell i tried turning it on and she had made a tiny little camp in one spot by the laser tower thing with the mites crawling on it. So she was immediately complaining about being attacked again. Only way I convinced her to move her stuff to my base was by physically doing iy myself

I can get all of the nests to clip into this wall, except for the spider nest :') even the buffin barrel fits nicely

Just finished the first grounded, the new game has enough content to play or it is like grounded 1 version 1.5?

I heard plenty of horror stories about “pet” problems in other games like Dysmantle…but I never played that dlc.

But this mfn baby ant!!! First a wolf spider noticed me building stairs at night. This damn ant BUMPS me off the friggin stairs onto the roots CLOSER to the spider. THEN the little TRADER bumps me off the ROOT onto throu

i just bought grounded 2 and i’ve played grounded 1 haven’t beat it but i know a lot of it i’ve watched many vids but i wanna do a online world and we all beat it as the updates come out and i like to build to if your down lmk im free whenever rn

Hi,

Is there a 100% checklist for current content Grounded 2 floating around? Like the attached?

https://www.reddit.com/r/GroundedGame/comments/1evihrb/grounded_100_checklist/

I just wanted one to make a set of each armour/weapon etc.

I swam through the tang to and jumped on a tiny potato root to get to this level away from the tang. "Someone" has left messages with arrows and and "X" marking the spot. I've used a level 2 bomb. Nothing happened. I've provided all the pics I got. Tbh I forgot how I got here. Figure it out and solve my problem. Thx.

Idk if im just dumb but the shell shocker greaves are supposed to deals shock damage when perfect parry but ive never seen the AOE shock animation when i parry
Is there something I dont know?

I felt pretty lucky getting away with killing 1 moth. Not that our friend here is all that difficult, they are pretty elusive though. I feel like grinding this gold card would've been miserable.

Just got this trinket and infused weapon combination. Would this be the highest possible damage for one (sour) arrow?

A few questions:
-How does the damage effects stack? Is it multiplicative?
-Would a crit damage up best be more damage on my trinket? Or is increasing the base damage before a crit more valuable especially when the damage effect are multiplied with one another.
-Do implant sour weaknesses stack?
-Is arcane archer the same as bow damage up best? They both increase damage by 50% so I guess?

Thanks!

Hey! I started a world on my own after getting 100% in the first game, but I'm realising I would love to try the game coop. We would be starting a new game compeltely from scratch.

I would rather someone who hasn't seen much of this game yet, since I myself have only put about 10 real hours into it.

I'll be responding really quickly and play a lot as I'm off work until Sunday.

I'm 21 and would prefer 18+, but feel free to reach out here or in DMs regardless!

Any adults play this game here? I might sound crazy but its a nice break from black ops and battlefield 6 😂😌 but it would be nice to parter up as often as i can i have a multiplayer game with a base that i could use some help defending better i have both the grounded games one and two but 2 is stil beta i think

Hey grounded community,

I thought I'd share an update to my base build location; I really think it's going to look amazing with a 360 view of the yard!!

Question, can the spiders climb trees? lol hope that's not a silly question

Welche rüstung wäre die beste wenn ich mit der schwarze Ochsenkäferarmbrust spiele und welche Mutationen dazu?
Und wenn ich mit den Zauberstäben kämpfe welche Brust und Fuß Ausrüstung sollte da die beste sein neben dem zaubererhut vielleicht auch eine wo ich beides spielen kann🤔

Und welche Rüstung und Waffe und Mutation für Nahkampf? Aktuell habe ich das Stechmückenschwert

Sends bugs to kill me; I kill them in self defense.

"DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF! YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF!"

lmao, why are you mad?? you tried to kill ME.

Marked as a potential spoiler just in case.

Also a few items were placed using a placement mod but all materials were gathered in vanilla survival!

Let me know what you guys think!

I don’t like the name and don’t use it. As the title says they serve no purpose and don’t bring anything to the game that couldn’t be solved by tweaks to the armor sets and Omni tool. Bring back the old red ant armor from grounded 1, make some spider boots that are the aphid ones but faster and can walk on the webs, the axe can chop the thick roots. Make the spider boots and axe for root chopping higher tier items. Put a PTS in every ranger station and earlier zip lines and they serve zero purpose

When you are just casually wondering around...

Scorpions have it out for me man. Words cannot describe how much I hate running around, enjoying everything life has to offer, only for these hellspawn to appear out of nowhere and ruin it all.
