Grounded: 15 Mistakes EVERY Player Makes (and How to Avoid Them)

[@Xylaax]

not only is the creature card nice to see their weakness, but it also shows their drops

[@christopherforeman4773]

Eww, you're saying it shows their droppings? 💩 jk

[@matt0xx76]

Turds the word, turd turds the word!!

[@triangle6724]

I was already doing most of these, but I had no idea you could turn berries into leather with the jerky rack, super helpful considering Im making my main base on the pond.

[@vikajorjadze8968]

You can do it with Pupa hide too

[@Rabbitzan]

I learned that from laggin64's channel tbh he has a series on grounded I've been watching.

[@theboithatsurvivedtwice]

Bruh before watching this vid I literally knew everything about it lol

[@ryanm.6005]

I forgot to analyze weed stems until after I built my first base. Didn't even know weed stem walls or scaffolding existed for a while.

[@Lowqualitybird]

I stoped playing a while ago and I started playing again and I kept on looking through the science shop to look for doors and regular grass walls

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

Same. I built a big mainly just grass base on the bug zapper by the oak tree, and now I realize I could have a way stronger base just by analyzing the weed stem. The location I'm at is pretty much impossible for ground creatures to get to in a raid anyway though.

[@nocti6232]

One mistake I still make to this day periodically is not switching out my Mutations on the fly for the activity I am doing. I'll run around the map without Natural Explorer equipped or fight ants without Ant-nihialtor equipped. I have to facepalm when I realize.

[@phoenixteti4590]

Me to I always do this

[@sdk4073]

Every video I see someone with a really nice, big and organized base while me and my friends base is just a historically grown mess of necessities close to the first spawn point.

[@NotDryCheese]

same. only difference is i’m A L O N E

[@Theonewhocares123]

And here I am making a huge tower from the first research station

[@BlubberBoy11]

Here’s another tip for you builders out there: Don’t create blueprints you do not intend on finishing. The chopping list (located in the building menu on the left-hand side), can be an amazing tool to help a player know exactly what they need to grab to finish their project, potentially cutting down time spent grabbing supplies. I use this feature almost every single time I build a new base, as it really does expedite the process. The problem is that for a little while before the chopping list came out, I used to build little outposts all over the yard, sometimes abandoning a project before I finished it. This led to my chopping list being full of extraneous supplies that I could care less about, kinda defeating the purpose of using it. This culminated in me spending hours searching every nook and cranny of the yard trying to find my half build structures…and trust me, it was about as much fun as it sounds :/ Don’t make my mistake!

[@fox-ka9125]

I build my blueprints, calculate on my phone exactly how much of each thing I'm going to need for the project, and if I need to add on or change something after I'm done I do it.

[@traplordbobby9661]

[@fox-ka9125]

@@vikajorjadze8968 when you open that secondary crafting menu that looks like the hot pouch wheel on the left it shows you what all you need for the uncompleted blueprints on the entire map

[@brenyatta]

There’s also the obvious pay attention to Freshness Meter! Roast & Loaf should never be left in the chest, and instead just be your food source while you explore

[@steeljawX]

I feel like there's a caveat for the tier 1 gear upgrading. There is no tier 2 or 3 gasmask, flippers, bubble helmet, or head lamp. Those are the only 4 exceptions I would add to that rule only because they get more durability and when those things break on you, well they were your paddle and they've left you up the creek. Is it imperative that you upgrade those 4 things? No. But it is nice to have those 4 have that little bit more of extra durability if you do use them a lot.

[@MichaelNNY]

Most these "mistakes" are basically playing the game.

[@Blackdawn1975]

[@irishmudslide1544]

@@Cuwzy what's amazing to me is he tells you the Berry chunks can be dried to leather but he doesn't mention that the same can be done with Pupa Hide to make Pupa Leather for a 1:1 ratio. So much better than a 5:1 ratio

I made every mistake in this game when starting out, and now I'm glad to know it by experience!

[@juzzyg1982]

You can get a recipe to make the low and mid tier upgrade resources, also do buy the glue masher early that way you can start to produce glue so your not waiting later when you need it.

[@v2jo_re]

Usually i Like These Kind of Videos, If you start Out in a Game. But it never feels right to know what to do and what Not to do at the start. I think everybody should Play games without knowing how everything works. Good Video though

I can't find a way to change a current game from mild to custom. Are you sure that's possible? Edit: Figured it out. Had to be in single player and not multiplayer.

[@HazePixel]

These videos have been helpful as me and my brother decided to start this game on woah mode so far it’s been pretty fun. I hate orb weavers and wolf spiders tho

[@michaelinglis567]

You really highlighted just how important peeping is by peeping one of the only bugs without any weaknesses or resistances. Way to make an argument for the importance of peeping! Lol.

SPOILER The glue masher isn't open until you finish the Black Ant Hill... right? By that time I have upgraded several weapons and armor that need glue. Plus if you get that wrench club (I forget the name) you need glue to upgrade it.

Will 1.0 delete any progress?

[@s0515033]

Not technological, but story wise, yes.

[@marky3609]

I immediately disagree with the 1st tip. As someone who has played Grounded since it first came out on early access custome mode is awesome if you truly want to see all that grounded has to offer without all the annoying crafting requirements go for custom mode. Achievements literally don't do anything so you are not missing out by not getting them but you will have infinitely more fun with the game in custome mode.

[@MediocreMilton]

So you want a survival game with none of the survival aspects? Why not just play on Creative?

[@lazerpigeon]

That’s just weird it makes the game way more boring and takes a lot of exploring and experiencing the game out of it

[@marky3609]

@@lazerpigeon That's not true at all you can actually explore much more freely because you don't have any crafting requirements and can make whatever you need instantly. Custom mode is way better. It's the only way I play the game now.

[@tao8150]

Bruh achievements give you a sense of accomplishment. I get if you don't like the grind, but for me, it's all about the grind and to say you did it when others didn't. And besides with this being such a great game I prefer to take my time. To each their own I suppose.

[@ravenofwar]

I don’t know if they’ve fixed it with 1.0 or not, but I usually keep a custom save for no-stress experimentation and a medium save to actually play the game, and I’ve found that I earn achievements from my custom game when I switch over to the medium save. I have no idea if that still happens though.
