Grounded is one of the more interesting FPS games<\/strong> in the industry. The game lets you explore your garden, but you\u2019re only as big as some of the insects you\u2019ll come across. So if you like the idea of being the size of a thumbtack and finally getting revenge on that colony of ants that stole your Halloween candy that one year, this is the guide for you. <\/p>\n\n\n

In the following article, we\u2019ll show you dynamite tips<\/strong> for surviving in Grounded<\/strong>, but we\u2019ll also give you a list of useful items and how to get them. We won\u2019t call this the definitive guide to Grounded, but that is most likely going to be in the works soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to survive in Grounded<\/h2>\n\n\n

  1. Unleash your inner master builder<\/h2>\"how

    One of the keys to surviving Grounded is to build your way to safety. When you\u2019re only the size of a thumbtack, even a small garden is full of things that may want to do you harm, and the best way to protect yourself early on is to<\/span> get a base set up<\/b>. This should be close to a water source and a source of food. Otherwise, you may find yourself running out of both vital resources. You\u2019ll also want to make sure that you\u2019re not within close proximity to any predators, as this could prove your early structure to be useless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    As soon as you can, you\u2019ll also want to<\/span> build utilities <\/b>such as the mushroom garden and dew collector. These will provide you with decent amounts of sustainable food. When building, ensure that you start with the shell first. If you start by placing down utilities, they might impede your wall placement. Also, remember that it\u2019s always better to overbuild in this game. If you start off too small, it can be difficult to upgrade your base later. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  2. Collect everything<\/h2>\"how

    Sometimes, the simple act of collecting an item can earn you a brand-new recipe. Even in the case that it doesn\u2019t, you may be able to unlock new recipes by taking your collectables to be analyzed. The other plus to<\/span> collecting everything you lay your eyes on<\/b> is that you never know when you\u2019re going to need something that you\u2019ve walked past. In Grounded, it\u2019s always better to have a surplus than a deficit, even for items that you may have no immediate use for. Resources can also help you upgrade your base, which is always the best line of defence against the creatures you will encounter. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  3. Red eyes mean danger<\/h2>\"how

    Red eyes rarely have a positive connotation. Usually, as in the case of Grounded, red eyes signal danger. In Grounded, if an insect has<\/span> red eyes<\/b> it means that it has taken an aggressive position. This isn\u2019t always going to be aimed at you. There are many things in the garden that can cause an insect to lose its temper. However, to stay on the safe side, if an insect has red eyes, keep away as much as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    In the event that you get taken off the census by an insect in rage mode, watch its eyes when you respawn. If its eyes are still red and its still around your body, hang back for a while. Once the creature\u2019s eyes are <\/span>no longer red<\/b>, you should be able to fetch the gear that you unceremoniously dropped when you died. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  4. Explore the garden<\/h2>\"how

    Exploration is the easiest way to familiarize yourself with your environment, identify safe spaces and potential threat-infested regions, and find<\/span> resource rich areas<\/b>. Even though, at the time of writing, the garden isn\u2019t all that big, it\u2019s still a decent space to explore when you\u2019re the size of a thumbtack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    One of the most useful resources, raw science is found in abundance in the garden. However, it won\u2019t just fall on your head like the famous Newtonian apple; you\u2019ll have to work to reach it. In the same way, even though the garden is teeming with resources, some are a<\/span> little trickier<\/b> to get your hands on than others. For instance, if you have your sights set on an ant club, you\u2019ll need to finish off a few soldier ants to get it. These are all over the ant hill ,though, so it should at least be easy to find them. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  5. Keep an eye on the grass<\/h2>\"how

    There are many things in the garden that could cause grass to move. Sometimes the culprit is a strong gust of wind, but more likely, it\u2019s a predator. Predators like spiders move the grass as they approach you. Even though you can\u2019t always see them through the grass, you can see what kind of movement the grass displays. <\/span><\/p>\n

    If the <\/span>grass moves<\/b> a lot, it\u2019s likely a large predator. If the grass only moves a little, you might be able to show the predator who\u2019s boss. With larger predators, it\u2019s recommended to head in the opposite direction until you have the weapons and skill with which to face them squarely. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/div>
