Tips & Trick For Building, Combat, & Extra Inventory Space In Grounded 2
Exploration
Trail Markers are quite essential as the map is too huge, and placing them where you find resources or any important discoveries can be accessed at any given time. Modify these Trail Markers with appropriate names, images, and colors to keep them neat.
If you are thirsty and want to drink water or a dew droplet, many players shoot the dew. Instead, you can punch the grass to let dew drop down on the ground waiting to be consumed. Similarly, you can hit the grass even if you are riding the Buggy to drop down a dew or water droplet.
If you are curious to learn about the Anthill and what type of danger lurks or resources and treasures are buried inside the tunnel or cave then you can use the Photo Mode when the game is paused. This will allow you to explore any area without even putting you in harm’s way.
Having Torch is quite beneficial not only on dark places but also at chill places such as Ice Cream Cart. Torch can reduce the Chilling Status meter effect up to 50%.
Inventory
In your Inventory, make sure you stack Sap and Plant Fiber, which is used to craft Fiber Bandage at any given moment. Instead of crafting Bandages and consuming an Inventory slot, it is recommended to have raw ingredients that will be used for various purposes.
Make sure that your Storage units are placed in the close vicinity to the Crafting Workbenches. Why? So that the workbench can pull out the necessary resources and automate the work.
Hot Deposit can be enabled or disabled at the Storage unit manually. Additionally, you can change the Hot Deposit setting universally by going into Options—–> Game settings. Hot Deposit allows you to automatically add the similar items if it is already stored in the Storage.
If you have lost your Backpack then you can use the Game Repair option to Recover Backpack after each save file.
Combat
If you manage to kill an Ant with 1 hit then the other Ant will stop getting aggressive as if they have lost their target. This trick can allow you to prevent all the attention from the Worker Ant and you can butcher them stealthily.
You can make the aggressive insects attack or fight the neutral insects to watch the show. First, take aggro from the insect and make them attack the neutral insects such as Ladybug or Cockroach. It is quite useful when mob of enemies are chasing you and you can sneak around closely to the Ladybug while they are still aggro’d.
Scorpions are tricky to defeat as they can track you back to the base. Therefore, fight against the Scorpion till the death. They are hard to lose track, but it doesn’t mean that you cannot outrun and lose them.
Red Soldier Ant Buggy
Red Soldier Ant will ignore you if you are mounted on Red Soldier Ant Buggy which makes Anthill exploration quite easy. They can only get aggressive when you steal their egg or deal damage to them.
Red Soldier Ant Buggy is very useful when exploring and relocating certain resources. The Red Soldier Ant Buggy has a separate carrying slot that can hold up to a certain amount of resources. Pair it up with the player who can grab and carry a specific amount of resources with them. It will certainly save most of the time going back and forth for the resources. For example, a Player can hold an Egg, and a Red Soldier Ant Buggy can hold an Egg. So you can ride and relocate 2 eggs in an instant without losing speed. The same goes for other resources.
Red Soldier Ant Buggy can be used as your Inventory Teleporter. You can transfer all your items from the Backpack to your Red Soldier Ant Buggy and select the Give Up option. If you choose to Respawn, the items will not be lost and will be transported back to your base via Red Soldier Ant Buggy.
Red Soldier Ant Buggy can chop the Grass Plank easily and can be thrown as a projectile or an arrow to break down Berries from the tree without dismounting.
Building
If you want to delete the blueprint quickly, instead of selecting one tile at a time; Pause the game and go to Game Repair option. Under that there would be “Cancel Nearby Blueprints” option.
While building the wall or floor, you can hold the button to continue placing the blueprint and extend it; instead of placing down 1 floor or a wall at a time.
Crafting
To craft Plant Fiber in bulk, you might consider to build a Grinder. Excess material can be grinded to craft certain recipes. In this case Plant Fiber!
Certain workbench such as Spinning Wheel in an instance can craft Crude Rope efficiently using only 1 Plant Fiber. Same can be done in your Inventory but it will consume 3 Plant Fiber for a Crude Rope.
Craft higher quality Bed in your base to rest as it gives buff for the next day which results in low hunger and thirst.
Before going to Bed, queue up all the crafting items because when you will wake up; all the items will be crafted. The time will pass normally.
