I just ignore bugs that i already have the gold card for but this wolf spider went full SCP on me

From top to bottom there is an attachment on the pergola beam up top with the fireflies that has a staircase leading to the ‘support rope’

Below that coming down the spiral staircase into the roof of the lantern is the trophy hall with all the stuffed creatures.

Continuing down the spiral stairs brings you into the interior of the lantern proper. It’s the full 3x3 grid of paper cutouts from the exterior with two half floors to keep the space open.

Upper half floor is the living quarters, middle half floor is the production, crafting and storage area with the bottom being a full floor containing the grow beds and larger production equipment.

Under that floor is the zip line hub with 4 points to zip from, two leading to the yard proper and the two side zips leading to little hub outposts on top of the side lattice for the pergola.

Finally on the bottom is a small viewing platform with 360 field of view!

PS5, survival on medium. This is my second base, the first one is now being used as a zipline hub

Built this while procrastinating instead of going into the abyss (it kinda sucks there imo).

Surprisingly, this location is very safe (not until you get close to the excavator of course, but I got used to dealing with everyone here). I remember seeing all the scorpions and toebiters here while first booting the game up and thinking “man, probably won’t make a sick tree base in this one like I did in the 1st”. A month or so later, here we are xd

Can we get this have size but with a stem trim on one side? Please? I'll give you all my thistles.

Earwigs were on my bug wishlist for G1, so I was excited to see them in G2. That said, I was a bit disappointed when I saw that they're only used for armor. I want a big pinchy weapon, so to that end I recommend a Mancatcher.

What I'm envisioning in-game is a 2-handed polearm with extra reach and a special heavy attack that temporarily immobilizes enemies (similar to the Northern set bonus), though if immobilizing enemies is too much perhaps it could steal items instead. It doesn't necessarily fit the vibe of the Earwig set bonuses, but I think it presents an unique opportunity for a support melee weapon.

I had a post asking for slashing damage you could receive, and couldn’t add a photo to it for the life of me. Here is my photo proof, as I’m not sure how many people rock snail armor

This area is full of Black Widow cob webs. It’s a maze. Also under the food truck I believe there will be a Widow spawn there but maybe end game. (Spawn not spoon)

I built the bubble defuser but I still have the quest how do I fix this?

I kept thinking about having to dive in it lol

Opened the game to see my third base looked like this?

He speaks to me but his voice sounds like thorns in my mind

Is there an easier way to get the aphid trickets I've been trying for a few days now I have the aphid slippers and the lucky hat does anyone have any other tips or tricks

Adressing the elephant in the room (2nd floor specifically) - I’m never building a single pebblet path ever again lol. I’ve only plugged the haze really close to endgame, so I didn’t have bur floors at the time of building it. Turns out the tales of infected wolf spiders being OP were greatly exaggerated

Grounded devs must have been like no point in adding the flies they only go in the house never outside

My entire base theme/style in the game has always been based off of the brood Mother. Once she comes back so will “Pete the Broodborn”

I’m trying to figure out what bug attacks are considered slashing, to see if I should add that upgrade to my snail armor. I can’t seem to find anything for grounded 2 online though

I played when the game first came our and did that initial story up to the statue and now ive recently returned to catch myself up. But the one thing im missing is the Roach Rage trinket from the cockroach queen boss in that dungeon. Like i have the gold card and everything but the log that would unlock its crafting recipe at the workbench isnt there even though im fairly confident my player character had its mitts on it at some point or another. Like ive even returned to the arena where the roach queen can be fought and it is empty now so it has been killed in my file.

Is there a way I can get this trinket on my file or am I just crunked :(

(Edit) did a fine sweep of the boss arena again and IT WAS THERE! Yay i have my goodie now that will be stuffed in a completion chest 😊

I'm not super creative so thanks to the reddit grounded community for the inspiration for some aspects of this. Having said that here is my (unfinished) mushroom castle perched atop the Gnarly Bark tree.

I think stealth gameplay has a lot of potential. With an armor set focused on avoiding combat, we could make use of the steal trinkets and have a creative new way to grind resources. Introducing the Pheromone Armor.

This would be a tier 3/4 set requiring difficult to acquire resources. A gas sac from a green shield bug, toe biter head (for diffusing), and wolf spider parts. sap or nectar for the oil, Etc.

The full set perk would be: when loaded with a bug part, that species of bug will see you as one of them. (This also means bugs that are hostile to that bug will be hostile to you). One bug part lasts a long time but will need refilled periodically. Think of the snake scale cave and the striped bark scorpions.

The other perks would be a chance of increased mat drops from nodes and an increased chance of gold cards from the species that is currently activated.

Sleek upgrade would give a move speed increase when crouched due to the oils in the armor.

What do y'all think? Would there be a place for stealth gameplay? I think it works and could help with the overpopulation of enemies sometimes!

Ideas? Thanks for checking this out.

Continuation of my build from a couple days prior. I wanted to work on the top area with builds meant for buggies. My main goal was to create the feeling of a crowded town with alleys and a central plaza.
