I don't think anyone mentioned that if you do break the egg sacks and mess with certain spider webs in your video you can see the wolf spider come over and check out what that "noise" was. So be careful breaking egg sacks etc.
To anyone watching this in 2023, the Roasting Spit now does degrade food, so don't keep your cooked food on the roasting spit, unless you want spoiled meat.
Added tip for collecting juice, if you clip multiple ones just inside one another when the juice drop fills the first one up it will begin filling the next. Also, beware of cloth inside of the trashcan in the garbage pile, you can get yourself soft-locked rather easily. For the transport on ziplines if you properly line up the zip line when the stems reach the destination they will neatly stack inside the zip bracket at its base (it will hold a full pallet before spilling out on the ground). Best tip on making ? smoothies is to use stems in the grinder at 5 stems for 40 grass fiber. If you pair this with some sap makers at the oak tree you will never have worry of running out of bandages. In a pinch you can visit the "sprig forest" near the porch and berry area. You do not need 3 different items, three sprigs or clovers is the fastest before having the grinder. Currently if you drop five mushroom pieces just past the juice box at the pond you will draw dozens of weevils that allow you an endless amount of food and repair materials for your weevil shield before you get the ant shield (no need for your infamous food trap setup, they wander up by the dozens this way). I built drying racks here to easily create stacks of dried food snacks. Now that the hammer has a normal attack speed it has become the best low tier weapon to smash ladybugs with early on in the game before you ever get the ant club or if you just prefer the "sword and shield" route. It is absolutely worth it to upgrade that insect hammer as soon as you can now. Thank you Milton for everything you do here bro, you truly help keep this game alive while we slam into the wall of content patience quarter after quarter.
600D Medium 150D Woah and didn't realise you could shoot petals!! Thanks Milton!! Yeah I learnt the multiple water container trick by mistake because for some reason I couldn't get the container to fill up - it either missed or just glitched so I placed more down which fixed things. For Antshield, I just equip full Roly Armour and hold block (LT on Xbox) in front of lawn mites for a a short time to fully repair the shield without needing 4 black Ant parts (but DON'T perfect block as this doesn't work; if your shield is about to break, perfect blocking the mites WILL break the shield (eventually)). On Medium, I only use one handed melee weapons now+carry Crossbow too; Lv 9 Ox Hammers in Mighty/Fresh and Spicy forms and Morningstar for salt weak enemies. I leave the Mint Mace/Coaltana/Antlion Sword on display racks at home gathering dust! A Lv 9 Fresh Ox Hammer trivialises the Infected Wolf fight better than Coaltana (IMHO) plus its easier to maintain timing parries because being single handed uses less stamina so you run the risk of getting bit less! What's strange is a Mighty Ox Hammer beats Ox Beetles easier then the Morningstar even though the Beetles are weak to salt.....*shrugs*. I'm not sure in Woah whether the above combat tactics will work as well as I still need to unlock quartzite/spicy globs....if the two handed weapons were just a tad faster it would balance things nicely....IMO
Don't forget about the ant armor before you build your base, the plus hauling capacity makes it a lot easier.. Combining it with the "grass master?" and you fill your pellet and stem storages in no time ;)
A tip for building a safe base, the lily pads have burgl nearby, aswell as easily accessible food and the juice box,which can provide juice drops. The lilypads are a safe, sorta centralized area to build a decently large base.
@@zirsos8610 lmao, yeah man, the wolf spiders just yeet themselves onto my lily pad bases now 😂 plus it’s scary trying to find spots to do the bow and arrow cheese stuff on them bc they’ll also yeet themselves up onto branches when u try to 😭
I think a big thing to mention is how front heavy this game is. It’s very hard at first to survive, but once you hit tier 2 stuff, you are god amongst insects.
Fortunately with the addition of the upper yard, there’s a new level of difficulty for the “end game”. Now when you’re a god amongst the lower insects, you still face difficulty with the upper insects.
Back in the day when grounded first came out, the Spit Roast, would let food spoil when left on the spit. I'm so glad they did change it to make it not spoil. It feels way better balanced.
It spoils again now in 1.0 I think I let it sit for a while a killed any ants that got near as a test to this since 1.0 came out and it will eventually disappear and spoiled meat will appear on the ground
This must have been pre bug jumping, dont try to kill a wolf spider by standing on a root or rock it can and will jump up there. most bugs can jump now, and wolf spider in particular can jump high enough to get on top of the baseball, you need to be reaaaal high if you want to cheese a wolf spider like this. Also Cardio fan as well as some other mutations have changed. a lot of this video is outdated already. =(
One tip I have for maxing parry master if your on co-op is to ask your friend to repeatedly stab you with a pebblet spear. Using this I got parry master 3/3 in roughly 10 minutes.
Alot of these points have been nerfed with the newest update.The fact that the wolf spider can now climb stairs and jump upto 2-3 levels of buildings is a game changer.This is the outdated game version as burgl dosent offer jobs but needs to be done thru the computer after palm scanning.
One other easy early game weapon is the rotten bee stinger spear.You might need a gill tube though but you can find the spear in between the teeth of T Rex in the pond depths.
There is a line of 4 or so lily pads that ends directly above an oxygen bubble that comes out of a cracked pipe. I used those bubbles to get that T-rex spear without any water equipment
The first wolf spider I ever killed, it was early game, I just got the any outfit. Went into the lab and a wolf spider somehow spawned in thee opening hallway. The thing is, it was so large, it couldn't turn around to attack me, and I needed to get in there so I spanked it until it died.
Here’s a good tip on the fastest and effective way to collect spider webs. My base is near the koi pond by the juice box. I would lure an orb weaver spider to me and I run up on the thorn plant. I just sit there and let the spider shoot tons of webs at me. Sometimes I collect over a hundreds in a matter of minutes. Now, you have zip lines everywhere! Lol
best food tip: the shroom dish in the oven. easier to get than hunting weevils or aphids when you are using the poison biome for quarz runs since this dish will be a by product on accident and even better than the roastpit food
The Jerky Rack 1:1 is a game changer. I've spent a whole day collecting berries, and it's frustrating to have 100 and it only comes out to 30ish. Now I can have the amount I want! This game is so amazing, I think I've dropped 20hrs in the past 2 days.
Unfortunately I did know all these from playing solo for so long! I remember when the game came out and the water collectors were a thing we tried to do this prematurely and It didnt work lol and then it does now. Another thing that I find interesting is rocks have a really good stun stat (its invisible because rocks arent technically weapons) and they can fill that stun meter for the bugs really fast, not super useful either way but interesting none the less. Another thing you can do that is admittedly finicky is, make a very (ideally high) zip line and make the angle very very steep and use it and when you are at max speed you can jump off and IMMEDIATELY use your glider to much better efficiency and travel much much farther than you could normally because of the speed bonus.
Another tip: you can cancel the cool down on attacks by blocking. Cancel after the third hit with your axe/hammer to break grass/weeds/rocks faster, or with a two handed weapon to continue comboing and get a higher dps
Down in the ant nest that's near the kid case you can find a burgl chip and rotten bee armour also another place to kill wolf spiders at the oak tree is to go to the oak tree lab then go into the tunnel that leads to the wolf spiders then agro one you just need to enter the lab and it can't get you but you can use a bow
The any 3 combination smoothies are great if you add the gum to it because it makes a normal smoothie but with Regeration buff that is not a recipe anywhere else!
They should really make the food on spits spoil and instead add a craftable 'fridge' using Mints that acts as a container for preserving food. Make it slow meal spoilage down to like 3-4 in game days rather than the default. That would make the actual oven meals more viable as well since they'd be preservable too.
A lot have a base around the Oak Tree just as I do. From building a porch/conservatory around Burgl's entrance I build upwards and to the left (as you look at the entrance); I created a pathway/girdle that surrounds the tree so I can get to safety easily (at night) from the Wolf spiders that are random. Yesterday I found an Infected Wolf in my base so if you take my approach with the girdle, be careful with access points on the tree as it appears their climbing powers have been improved (or maybe it spawned there?); NOTE: I was away from base for 5+ in game days....
I just want to find out how to survive. I die like all the time. Even the smallest bugs kill me. The weapons are useless, and every time you die, you lose everything, which forces you ti start from scratch. Building a base seems pointless, as you travel and need to build new tents on the way. I often die from thirst, as water can‘t be found everywhere. There‘s no instructions on how to upgrade the weapons, or how to get a glider. I spent about 39 hours so far, it‘s fun, but frustrating.
Your video is wrong. Mint is not the only thing that gives you a mutation. 3 spicy shards gives you level 2 of spicy safety, which is a fantastic mutation.
I’ve got a tip for helping with repairing your gas mask near the lamps round the maps there’s an easy one near the tree there’s tons of gnats and they appear every gnat at the lamps so easy gnat fuzz for repairs
When it comes to getting materials for questionable smoothies for healing, one option is bringing weed stems to the Grinder. Each stem gives 8 Plant Fibers, so you can get 40 Fibers from one go, making 13 smoothies. If you have a base near the pond you can pair that with 13 Muscle Sprouts without much trouble.
Fun fact the weevil trap farm one works anyone i learned this on accident when i dropped a mishroom in the pond lab and there was like 10 weevils just chillin down there
541hours. To put that into perspective, it's equivalent to playing this game 24 hours a day---without sleep or even a break---for 22 1/2 solid days straight. 😮 Meanwhile, I can barely get through a game that takes 15 to 20 hours to complete without getting bored half way through and uninstalling it.
I have 800 hours in the game and always thought I had to wait for that chipsleuth RNG for my BURGL chips…thank you from saving me that pain in future playthroughs 😅
When fighting in the pond with either spear or dagger, the attack speed will be slower. Instead of spamming the attack button, press the attack button and then quickly press the block button, and then repeat. This will get you considerably faster atttack speed.
Pro tip.. (not that useful in later game) Build 3 square floors in a line. Box off the two boxes on the edges.. all four sides and then add a floor. Build the water collector in the center square that's been left open. (You can close it off on the front and back if you'd like) Finally, build the dew collector and place it on the two outer boxes. Position the collector so that the dew collected can just fall directly into the catcher below. Decorate as desired :)
Bruh, why are you not showing where you are on the map when explaining tips at specific locations??? This information is basically useless without know where the F it is. Such a massive oversight. Thanks for wasting my time buddy.
In probably the first 300 hours I only did the first three quests that you did for the main story quest, there very easy and I definitely recommend doing all of them at the start if your geared for it
Very informative. But you talk really fast... it is difficult to follow for me whose native language is not english 😊 (without addin like YT enhancer for slowing down the videos at least)
Also the wolf spider by the hedge who sleeps under the leaves. You can build grass walls to lock him in and shot him through the holes. Also his legs clip through the leaves so you can stab him as well. It’s so cheese to harvest parts.
Thank you so much; this is by far your best tips and tricks video! I have played Grounded since launch and didn't know about several of these great tips. The juice collector under the juice box straws and the Coup de Grass mutation affecting harvest speed were mind-blowing to hear you talk about. I can't believe that I didn't know about these sooner! I recommend your videos to everyone I know who plays Grounded! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, as well as these wonderful tips! Keep up the good work and I can't wait for your next video!
my tip:learn to perfect block it may sound hard but with enough practice (and deaths) you can basically kill a wolf spider without anything but a weapon
So on my game at least food spoils on Roasting spits, was bummed when me and my wife found that out. This is after the 1 0 update we started playing again. Understandably this video was made b4 that point
I have got alot of time in this game and the juice gathering and using the drier for the berry and puper making the recipe cheaper so much resources wasted 🤦🏻♂️
Lily pad is best place to make base near the stick with a leaf spiders can’t jump if you go on lily pad that’s closest to leaf leaving you with a bow and arrows to kill it and camp on top of stick to kill lady bugs or go up on lvl 2 clovers so the lady bugs break it for you
@Local peasant…….you know what you’re right! My vids are good! 😆 If you actually don’t believe the hours just type my name on Xbox app and see for yourself lol. It’s not hidden or difficult lmao.
So some updates have happened since. Spit Roasts don't preserve freshness anymore, however you do gain a fridge recipie from the Undershed Lab, and Salt and Spicy weapons should make food drop as Jerky and Cooked respectively. According to the Fandom page Mutations can not be gained and leveled by killing any passive mob such as weevils and aphids, for this I'd say since it's specifically to kill neutral or hostile mobs aim for either lawn mites or Red Ants. Also I skipped buying most of the Chip Mutations as they're just not worth it, with the one I did buy being the Max Stamina buff. Not sure if this works but killing the Infested Ladybug miniboss from The Haze area gives you a mutation that gives a chance for explosive punches, and I imagine it can be used to quickly level up the Fists mutation. Also Cardio Fan has been buffed to also decrease the Exhaustion timer
That wolvespider scared the shit outta me today. I was farming there and it walked right behind me (didn’t hear any footsteps- nothing!). Then something begins to screech, I turn to check, big boi attacks me - „sup snack“.
Here’s a tip: live on the tree, why? Well nothing can attack you sept for bees and mosquitoes!( and I know wolf spiders can jump at you, but if you get out of their sight you can avoid them)
16:26 I know this video is old but bruh no way you say that cardio fan is one on the worst mutations but then you said that you weren't able to defeat the broodmother (easiest repeatble boss in the game) not in hard but in medium difficult... how am can I take anything you say seriously after that, k but jokes aside, do you still think the same of cardio fan? genuine question
Update for you man. Acorn L’s don’t spawn on til 48 hours in game. Not every 24 hours. Even with sleeping. Actively farming acorns as we speak and they are not spawning 24 hours. Just a heads up
This gane is crazy I been aying since day 1 on preview and lost interest about 7 month ago Came back last week and well how the game has changed!!!! This game is going places 100%
Quick tip for some BURGL quest.Wait to craft certain items.IE Bee shoulder pads.If you craft them before you get the quest you'll have to go and craft them again.
