Grounded’s Newest Super Duper Update is Ready to Play! Header Image

Check out the Super Duper update video as you get real cozy at your base and meet the new neighbors in the backyard. See what the buzz is about in Update 1.2.0 as we share all the handy features, new creatures, and other significant improvements. It’s the update that will bring the sting of the hive.

 The Grounded team is excited to bring Update 1.2.0 to the community today. Rightfully titled The Super Duper update, this massive update brings with it many quality-of-life changes, more than a hundred new items to craft, a brand new Base Coziness feature, and wasps, a new terrifying creature to fight. But first, let’s dive into the Super Duper… an item duplication machine!

THE SUPER DUPER UPDATE

Item Duplication

The Super Duper is a new piece of equipment installed in the Oak Lab. Players will find the Super Duper machine the next time they visit BURG.L! This machine will allow players to duplicate specific equipment and items using Raw Science. To use the Super Duper, players must locate Duper Discs throughout the yard. The first disc unlocks operation of the machine, while the other discs grant the player the ability to unlock duping of higher-tier equipment and items.

It can even duplicate trinkets, unique items, and upgrade stones. Making this even more helpful for players, any item duplicated will include all of the item's Smithing upgrades, saving a lot of time for when you and your friends need to gear up quickly and get back to adventuring.

NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

Coziness At Its Best

Bases are now more than just protection against giant insects that want to eat you. It’s time to chillax at your base and get cozy with the new Base Coziness system.

Buildings, furniture, and decorations now add to the coziness level of your base. If you are around enough cozy buildings, your level of coziness will rise. There are five total levels of coziness. For each new level of coziness you reach, you can unlock new decorative building recipes, a mutation that’s useful for base building, and new emotes. Being in a cozy location will also give you status effects: decrease hunger, decrease thirst drain, and slow healing.

More Base Décor

To help players out with their bases and to start working on gaining those coziness levels, this update also brings with it close to 100 new crafting items. The community has already shown a talent for creative bases, and we are super excited to see what new masterpieces you will create with the additional building pieces and furniture. We hope the Base Coziness system and new base buildings help you and your friends make a new home in the backyard.

Here Comes The Handy Gnat

Need a hand? Build the base of your dreams with the help of a new friend: Handy Gnat!

Players can summon the Handy Gnat to help with base building plans. This gnat will be able to build from storage near your teen using planks, stems, and other resources from your stockpiles.

The Handy Gnat Unlocked custom game option will be defaulted to active in Creative and Creative with Bugs game modes. To activate this new friend in Survival game modes, players must convert their games into Custom Games in the Game Settings menu. Once active, Handy Gnat can be activated in the Crafting menu or the Construction radial. The Handy Gnat feature a fantastic resource (and friend) to help you build or upgrade your home in no time.

Turret Improvements

Make rounds around the backyard and get ready to fire. The Pebblet Turret and Pollen Turret have been combined to be a single Turret called Acorn Turret. Use different ammo types, including new ones you haven’t seen before.

Turrets now have a new round of rounds to use. There are six different types of ammo you can rotate through to swap ammo types and all the ammo can be stored in a chest next to the turret. The best part? Players can swap between ammo without ever leaving the turret seat. Slow down enemy crawlers with Sappy Rounds, or use Groundy Rounds to ground flying insects with ease. Speaking of flying insects, this change with the turrets comes at the perfect time to fight against the new creatures in the backyard.

NEW CREATURES

Wasps Swarm the Yard

Get ready to buzz with excitement as wasps invade the yard! These hostile enemies will surely sting, and caution should be used when attempting to meet them in the upper yard. If you locate their nests and mess with them too much, you’ll release the full fury of the hive.

Meet the ominous queen of the skies, the Wasp Queen. Players looking for a more significant challenge can attempt to locate the Wasp Nest and meet her majesty, the newest creature boss. Players who successfully defeat these wasps will unlock new items to craft, such as a new armor set and a new trinket to wear. Defend yourself and fight gracefully in the royal court of the Wasp Queen!

GROUNDED ON THE GO

Now Available on Steam Deck

Players on the go are about to get a pleasant surprise as the team has been able to get Grounded on the official Steam Deck support list. That's right!

Those on Team Steam Deck can now fully enjoy Grounded wherever they are. That's not all, as starting April 27th, Grounded will be hosting a free weekend on Steam through May 1st.

AND SO MUCH MORE

The Super Duper Update

Hey there Grounded fanatics! We're totally stoked to reveal a rad new update packed with awesome new features and improvements.

New Features

Wasps Swarm the Yard

Get ready to buzz with excitement as wasps invade the yard. Battle with wasps and drones that guard their mini hives across the upper yard. Keep your eyes peeled for the hidden main nest as well. A word of caution: piss off their kin and you'll release the full fury of the hive.

New Boss: Wasp Queen

Cozy within her hidden hive, the ominous queen of the skies awaits.

Super Duper (Item Duplication Machine)

Introducing the Super Duper!

  • The Super Duper is a new piece of equipment installed in the Oak Lab that duplicates gear and items using Raw Science.
  • Find Duper Discs in the yard labs, which upgrade the Super Duper to clone even more items. The first disc unlocks operation of the Super Duper, while the other discs unlock duping of higher-tier equipment and items.
  • Any equipment that is duped will include all the item's Smithing upgrades.
  • Higher-tier equipment costs more Raw Science to dupe.
  • It can even duplicate trinkets, unique items, and upgrade stones!
  • Example: Duplicate an upgraded equipment set for your friends if they are joining your party mid-way through your adventure!

Chillax at your Base

Bases are more than just protection against giant insects that want to eat you. They are also for making you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

  • Buildings now exude cozy vibes when you are nearby. If you are around enough cozy buildings, your level of coziness will rise.
  • For each new level of coziness you reach, you can unlock new things:
    • New decorative building recipes
    • A mutation useful for base building
    • New emotes to expand your body language
  • Being in a cozy location will also give you status effects that decrease your hunger and thirst drain and slowly heal you.
  • Multiple buildings of the same type don't give you the same level of coziness. For example, one bed will provide lots of coziness, but a second bed of the same type will only give you a little more coziness.
  • There are five levels of coziness. Your current coziness level will show on your HUD if it is at least 1.
  • Note: Some existing decorative buildings are now unlocked via the coziness system instead of by analyzing a material (such as the Grandfather Clock).

Handy Gnat Helps You Build

Have a large base renovation in mind? Tired of gravity holding you down? Then see what the buzz is about and call on your local construction pro: Handy Gnat!

  • As Handy Gnat, you can fly around to build and customize bases to your heart's content.
  • In order to use Handy Gnat, you must have the "Handy Gnat Unlocked" custom game option toggled on. This option is on by default in Creative and Creative with Bugs game modes. For Survival game modes, you must convert your game to a Custom Game first in the Game Settings menu to enable this feature.
  • Once enabled, Handy Gnat can be activated in the Crafting menu or the Construction radial.
  • Handy Gnat can build from storage near your teen and even haul Grass Planks and Weed Stems.

Additional Custom Game Options

  • All Mutations Unlocked
    • Start with all Mutations unlocked and available.
  • Fully Yoked
    • Start with all Milk Molar infusions fully maxed out.
  • Handy Gnat Enabled
    • Allows you to activate the Handy Gnat build helper.
  • "All Recipes Unlocked and Free" has been split into two separate options.: All Recipes Unlocked, and All Recipes Free.

Loot Luck

Increase the chance of obtaining rare drops and receive more loot in general! Loot luck comes in 2 forms:

  • Generic Loot Luck
    • Increases drop rate for all items on all creatures.
  • Targeted Loot Luck
    • Greatly increases the drop rate for all items from a specific creature type (for example, "Loot Luck: Black Widow" will increase the drop rate specifically for black widows).

This new luck status effect can be found in various places, most easily by utilizing the new "Rub For Luck" feature on all the stuffed creature buildings!

Turret Improvements

  • The Pebblet Turret and Pollen Turret have been converted to be a single Turret called "Acorn Turret" that can load different ammo types like a bow.
  • When in the Turret, you can press 'R' or Right Bumper to swap ammo types on the fly. The new ammo types you can craft are:
    • Rocky Rounds
      • Pebblet rounds made smooth with bug acid. Pack a punch and push targets back.
    • Groundy Rounds
      • Sticky turret rounds that don't do a lot of damage but can ground flying insects with ease.
    • Pointy Rounds
      • Sharp and simple. Very small cooldown between shots.
    • Sappy Rounds
      • Gooey rounds that are perfect for slowing down enemy crawlers.
    • Burny Rounds
      • Hot little suckers that can set the ground around them ablaze.
    • Splody Rounds
      • They explode. Nuff said.
  • Pollen Turret recipe and Pollen Turret Science Store entry have been removed.
    • If you previously purchased either the Pollen Turret or Pebblet Turret, you will have access to the new "Acorn Turret" building recipe.
    • If you previously purchased both Turrets, you will be refunded 4,000 Raw Science.
  • Turret aiming angles have been increased so you can aim higher and lower.
  • You can now see the health of the turret while inside of it.

Yoked Gardening

  • Muscle Sprouts can be grown in the Garden Patch now.

New Achievements

  • Three new achievements added related to the new features and content.

Photo Mode Improvements

  • Added Depth of Field slider.
  • 5 new poses added.

Steam Deck Support

Grounded has been updated to include official Steam Deck support. Fixed issues and improvements include:

  • The game now boots past the initial loading screen.
  • The Xbox log-in window properly displays.
  • Tuned the default graphics settings for Steam Deck to provide an enjoyable experience. Also includes some Steam Deck-specific optimizations.
  • Steam Deck virtual keyboard pops up when selecting any input text field in the game (entering a multiplayer game password, naming your trail marker / storage, pet, etc.)
  • Control prompts no longer flip flop between displaying gamepad and mouse/keyboard controls when using the touch pad or gyro.
  • Note: The Steam store page will not reflect this official support until after the 1.2 Public Test period is complete.

Quality of Life Features

View Enemy Status Effects

  • Status Effects applied to creatures now appear beneath the enemy health bar while you are attacking them.

Building: Hold to Place Many

Tired of placing one wall at a time? Then utilize Place Many!

  • You can press and hold the build action and move your cursor to place many structural buildings all at once. You can also bind the "Place Many" control (default unbound) to start Place Many with one button press instead of using the "Hold Build" action to activate.
  • Example uses:
    • Place a horizontal line of 10 foundations all at once.
    • Place a vertical set of 8 walls all at once.
    • Use both directions to make a 10x10 set of walls all at once.
  • Cool Extra Examples:
    • Quickly build a vertical spiral staircase.
    • Quickly build a fireplace with a chimney as tall as you want.

Relocate Walls / Floors / Roofs / Foundations

  • You can now relocate walls, floors, roofs, and other structural buildings as long they are not the sole supporter of another building.

Mutations

  • You can now configure 4 Mutation loadouts and quickly swap between them using the new Mutation Loadouts radial.
  • The default binding to open the new radial is Right D-Pad on controller or T on keyboard.
    • To make room on the controller, the emote and chat radial have been combined into a single radial.
  • There are 5 new mutations to unlock.
  • Active Mutation status effects display in the UI next to your other status effect icons.

Arrow Auto-Pickup Improvements

    • Arrows will now auto-pickup only for the player who shot the arrows. This is to prevent players picking up their friends' arrows on accident.
    • Arrow markers will only display for the player who shot the arrows.

Shared World Backup Saves

  • Shared Worlds now create local backup saves on the last host's machine anytime a save is made.
    • These saves are not stored in the cloud like the primary Shared World save and thus only the host that made them has access to them.
  • Backup saves can only be loaded if you were the last host for the Shared World when the backup save was made.
    • This is done to prevent multiple players from loading very old backup saves that stomp over the current playthrough progress.
    • Beneficial use case example: Your base is completely destroyed and the current host wants to load a backup auto-save from 15 minutes prior when the base was still standing.
