  1. Past hour
  2. It feels like the last patch didn't fix any of the bugs it was supposed to fix. After waiting 15 in-game days for an O.R.C. raid to finally trigger so I could progress a quest, defeating the raid didn't complete the quest — even after the patch. Keybindings still reset after restarting the game, and the same issue applies to other settings as well — including audio settings, preferences, and mutation activation. All of them get wiped after a restart. O.R.C. bugs keep spawning in my base every single day, and I have to rebuild everything all the time. Water droplets are still floating in the air. The Z key still doesn't work in building or object placement mode, which makes movement very awkward. It seems like the S key was fixed, but nobody ever complained about the S key — the real issue has always been with Z. Also, Right Shift still doesn't work when assigned to sprinting — the game doesn’t register it at all. And now the game keeps crashing constantly. One translation has been updated and is wrong now. When we die, in French, it propose two times to respawn at the closed ranger station. My Buggy completely disappeared, and I had to hatch another one from scratch.
  3. Hi, our ORC spider disapeared and we are stuck in history cause we cannot beat them to succed the quest i saw alot on bee bug at berry field but nothing about milk molar station. if someone can help us. i've screeshot the quest . Translate of the screen : "Defeat the O.R.C guards at the milk molar hideout" thx
  4. I bound the arrow keys for movement because the Z key doesn't work in building / moving object mode. I also assigned Right Shift to sprint. So even if ZQSD is not working in building / moving object mode, I can move and sprint. But binded Right Shift doesn't make me run..
  5. I spent a lot of time and resources building a base. There were some O.R.C. bugs roaming around the area, but I managed to avoid them and they didn’t bother me while I was building. But now that the base is finished, O.R.C. mosquitoes and stinkbugs are spawning inside my house almost every day and destroying everything.
  6. Today
  7. War of the World (2025) I don't get the reviews. When you're sitting in front of your TV, looking at Ice Cube sitting in front of a green screen that is reflected in his glasses, the correct choice is to review and enjoy the film for what it is. The wrong one is to review it as if it would be a serious work of art, because if there's one thing the reviews are right about, then it is this: War of the Worlds (2025), which was originally filmed during the 2020 lockdown, is an utter disaster. From the terrible cinematography, to the forgettable sound design, to the incredibly bad acting of the entire cast and digital effects on the level of 2003 game cinematics (the arrival of the tripods basically looks like it was copied and pasted from the arrival of the Burning Legion in Warcraft 3), one can only come to the conclusion that even Uwe Boll movies are better. Now, the techincal aspects aren't Neil Breen level terrible, but if you've ever seen a The Asylum film (I would recommend Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies if you haven't and are interested), that's about what you're getting - just that everything looks like found footage because most of the cast filmed their scenes with their phones' selfie cams. With that out of the way, what an enjoyable silly ride this was. The premise, the acting, the cinematography, the editing, the effects - combined everything is so bad it breaks the laws of physics and becomes a stunningly enrapturing mixture. Plus it has Clark Gregg, and let's face it, anything that has Clark Gregg in it automatically gets taken up a notch. If you don't agree, then fine, but know that you're wrong. Spoilers from here on out. I'll not mark them, because, well, what would be the point? The film features, of course, Ice Cube sitting in a chair, cast in the worst role you could think of for him, a high ranking intelligence officer. His daughter Faith, a genius biologist, is dating an Amazon delivery truck driver so Ice Cube can get a thumb drive at the end of the movie. He keeps a really close tab on his family, down to checking what Faith eats during her pregnancy, but he's completely oblivious to the so-obvious-it-hurts fact that his son Dave is the hacker and conspiracy theorist Disruptor that he spends the first fifteen minutes of the film trying to find. Shortly after yet another failed raid, meteors rain from the sky. The Burning Legion tripods arrives on Azeroth Earth. In what is a fun little twist and about the only interesting thing the film really does, the initial counter attack by various militaries around the world is highly successful. These tripods are not invincible, and they're taking down easily by concentrated missile and tank attacks. Ice Cube is swivelling on his chair yelling BOOYAH at the green screen - you know, like any seasoned intelligence officer would. Who could blame the guy. Alas, all that was just a diversion. Some tripods manage to locate data centers, and that is where the film really goes off the rails. See, the tripods in this version grow tentacles and start injecting tiny cybernetic insects into the data centers - insects that feed on data, and the more data they consume, the smarter they get. All the world's data gets eaten from the data centers. Power plants fail everywhere, Facebook pages disappear, the military is now completely incapable of fighting back as fighter jets and commercial airliners just fall from the sky, tanks stop dead in their tracks and not a single digital gizmo keeps working. Except Ice Cube's computer and Faith's, Mark's, Sara's (NASA friend of Ice Cube's) and Dave's smart phones, plus all the apps running on them. The internet is still working fine too, in spite of a global power outage. The tripods also forgot to attack or deactivate all the US drones cruising about. After Ice Cube finally finds out that Dave is DISRUPTOR, Dave's hacking collective develops a computer virus to drop the enemy mothership's shields infect the tripods, but it fails. Why? Well, as Eva Longoria puts it, the insects are part biological and part cyber. A couple of seconds later they got it all figured out, they combine Faith's research into anti-viral agents with their computer virus (DNA is just a sort of code, after all). Now all that is left for Ice Cube is to plug in his thumb drive, download CANNIBAL_CODE.EXE and upload that to the super secret government surveillance programm GOLIATH - which will infect all the aliens once they consume it. Only hitch in that plan? Ice Cube doesn't have a thumb drive. Top secret military installation, he says, ain't allowed to bring one to work. Makes sense. On the other hand, he's using Facebook at work and has Zoom and WhatsApp installed. Well, can't be perfectly secure in all aspects, can we. Anyway, now's Mark's time to shine, because Ice Cube just needs to buy a thumb drive from Amazon - which still works, by the way, even after the world's data was eaten by cybernetic insects - and out comes the Amazon delivery drone. Dave covers Mark with a leftover Predator drone and shoots down some aliens and crashes the drone into a tripod. Meanwhile the tripods are converging on Washington D.C., and a couple of B2s take off to carpet bomb (nuke, maybe, they are talking about a blast radius of five miles) them into oblivion. Well, them, the residential area of D.C., and most importantly, the GOLIATH data center hidden beneath Ice Cube's workplace. Please don't wonder how there's still working military equipment at this point after it all failed without data, and also don't think too hard on how and why the military would not constantly fly sorties against the alien invaders. They just knew they'd need to be on standby to bomb the ultimate goal of the alien invasion. Mark saves the day by successfully delivering the thumbdrive to Ice Cube, who barely makes it down to the server room. He plugs in the thumb drive and poof, alien threat vanquished. Yep. CANNIBAL_CODE.EXE does the trick. While writing this post I've racked my brain trying to find a worse film that I've seen, and somehow I come up short. Not even 80ies B-movies are this bad. Definitely a "so bad it's good" sort of film. A+, a 10/10, five stars. Will be shown at film schools all over the world in the future as an example of how not to make a film.
  8. We could have the overall feel be a “mist” so the majority of the water droplets aren’t anywhere near dew droplet size. We could still have some larger raindrops fall to create the challenge mentioned. How much are we going to say it impacts the world? How fast will the world dry? Would the time of day impact that? Will things become slippery? Will we create gear that negates the slippery effect? Will it fill water collectors and max out dew droplet webs? If water is going to pool in the valley areas of the map, perhaps the AI pathing could have alternative routes during and right after it rains so the creepy crawlies don’t walk too deep into water. Flying insects would need to change their behavior. There are a lot of tunnels but many have enemies. Flooding the tunnels with enemies creates a problem balance wise as after the rain (or during it with swim gear) you can explore/loot the area enemy free assuming that Grounded 2 has the insects coded to die in deep water like in Grounded 1. Many of the insects in the game could be coded to swim/float or just stay alive even when submerged as their real life counterparts can do that so we just might face some submerged nightmare fights. It would be neat if a lot of cracks in the ground became creaks/rivers for a period of time during/after rain.
  9. Loving grounded 2 so far and the new buggys but one thing I do find is that the orb weaver mount makes the ant seem less useful since its slower and has less health, which makes sense as its more of a gathering mount. I think you should go all in on the idea and make it so the ant can harvest whatever your omnitool can. This way players dont have to get off and on the buggy while collecting materials. Because gather mode is great but I have to get on the buggy to use it and off to break the materials. Maybe you could implement this with like an upgraded saddle for the ant with like stronger blades on the mandible.
  10. OK yesterday after work, I downgraded to 577.00 and the game worked and did not crash often. I did get one crash after playing for a couple hours. So it sounds like it has something to do with the latest NVIDIA driver. Crash report
  11. I’m pretty sure mushroom blocks are already planned and just locked behind a chip that is not in the game yet. I’m with you on the paint. There are so many things we collect in Grounded that we should be able to come up with various paint/dye colors. They can make the other flowers that are in the game also drop petals and the different colored petals could impact the color of paint. (I just don’t feel like there’s enough recipes that utilize flower petals.) I have more mite parts than anyone could ever need so those could be ground into dust and used in some paint colors. Any materials we collect that are only used for few recipes should be prime consideration as a paint material. We have an ice biome so we could potentially to make a freeze dryer. Things you wouldn’t normally think to put in the grinder could be freeze dried first and then become a powder/dye for paints via the grinder. I’ve mentioned it in a couple other posts, but I wouldn’t mind some of the spray cans littered across the becoming spray paint cans, and we can collect paint directly from those.
  12. I am having the same issue. I'm now worried I won't now have enough raw science to unlock everything. Is there a limited amount or can I keep earning more. I put hours in so far and don't want to start again but I don't want to continue if it's
  13. Platform: PC Date of Last Crash: 08/08/2025 Issue Frequency: Random Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (WI-FI) – BIOS version 3404 Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core 3.40 GHz AM4 Memory: Total capacity: 32 GB Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Network Card: Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE Family Controller Problem Description: Hello, I’m experiencing frequent crashes in Grounded 2 without any error messages. The game shuts down abruptly, forcing me to restart manually. This tends to happen especially when exploring the ant hill or during intense combat. I’ve checked my drivers and lowered the graphics settings, but the issue persists. Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken: Updated graphics drivers Reinstalled the game Verified game file integrity Lowered graphics settings Attachments: DxDiag Request: I would like to know if there is a known solution or an upcoming fix for this issue. Thank you in advance for your assistance. DxDiag-grounded2.txt
  14. PS: here's the list of permanent effects: https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Status_effects_(Deadfire)#Permanent_effects
  15. There is no general rule like "if you want to get the best stuff you have to be cruel" like in PoE (Gift of the Machine, Effigy's Resentment). Instead it's more diverse. There are some interactions where you can only get some stuff if you have a certain reputation (or if you don't have a certain one), like Nature's Resolve where you cannot have the cruel or agressive reputations (because then the fitting dialogue options won't show up). Nature's Resolve only lasts until the next rest though iirc. I cannot give a general direction to which reputation/disposition nets the overall best rewards because I don't remember. I can only say that the rewards are so insignificant (unless you are doing a n-rest run) that it's noth worth bending over backwards in order to get them (imo). There are also very few permanant effects in general. If I think about it: none of them requires a certain disposition. For certain nice unique items you need to get a bad reputation/relationship with a certain faction (see Gipon Prudensco for example).
  16. Mutations: On log out max mutations are not saved. only 2 mutations are remembered. you do still get to pick the other 2 mutations.
  17. Using the free time I have to get back to reading. I started with The Silmarillion, been a long while since I read it. May read the Hobit and LotR again afterwards.
  18. I've tried everything. It's stuck in a little dip in the ground. It doesn't even move slightly.
  19. Plz it's awful to build you can't place correctly when you try place a palicade gate you can't correctly place the other one cuz of the build assist and it doesn't even propose the correct place next to it wen build assist so please I beg you make it better
  20. Multiplayer: Ant Buggy for non-host (multiple Ant buggies), If the non-host player dose not store said buggy in ant nest the buggy will not re-appear when the host loads the world. The buggy dose not seem to be deleted. My friend's game crashed, so I did not store my ant buggy. Once he loaded the save, I had to run back to base to see if my buggy was gone. It was not. I was surprised to see one of my other 3 ant buggies had come back. making it so now I have 2 ant buggies. I should have 3 any buggies.
  21. I would hate it id it was like “honey I shrunk the kids” rain/sprinkler lol
  22. Me and my friend were collecting them from day one, we reached about 15 in one little area, until a couple days ago where they all just disappeared, I think the in game days was maybe like 30-35 at that time?
  23. The public roadmap shows that crickets and earwigs will be added in the winter, maybe you could use their legs to make the jump boots and earwigs have pincers on the back of their bodies which are similar to the shape or a boomerang. here’s an idea for the crafting recipe lol cricket spring boots: 2 Cricket legs 4 Crude rope 4 Cricket parts 2 Cricket antennae Earwig pincer boomerang: 1 earwig pincer 2 earwig parts 2 crude rope
  24. Now with the latest (sneaky) update, I was able to complete the quest — the bee spawned correctly. tks
  25. Scrambled, not whisked is the superior method. Very much am on @ShadySands' daughter's side here. You can vary the degree of doneness until you find one you like, I personally prefer them to not be too dry, but unlike sunny sides up, the yolk isn't supposed to be runny on scrambled eggs. Salt them a little in the pan. Lard makes for the best eggs (guess also the highest cholesterol ), followed by butter. A neutral oil works too if you have nothing else. Season liberally with paprika and add some freshly ground black pepper, but I can see how crunchy garlic with chili oil works perfectly fine too.
  26. Hello, to get the snail eyes, shoot at the base/stalk of the eye with arrows and it should drop them, I had this problem aswell lol, so I just tried shooting at the eyes and now I get them a lot!
