It all sounds pretty on-brand. Maybe #3 is a little extreme, but that's just some additional gamification of already existing issues underlining the series, really.

I am a huge fan of Grounded 1 and I am super excited to spend hundreds of hours in Grounded 2, but these are the things I would suggest as options to add or potentially change: - Survival Building can be so clunky: Increasing the range of pallets and building materials from chests. A mutation that alongside hauling hero that increases movement speed and stamina capacity while hauling, (etc for farming weed stems). - Grasshoppers and Crickets: Grasshopper drops that could be used for a jump boost potion or boots that give you a jump boost, to make vertical traversal a little bit easier. A craftable grasshopper trinket which gives the player a double jump and a little less fall damage to mitigate this. A cricket violin which could attract types of critters or be right clicked and played to receive a temporary buff of the tune you select. Tying more into a bard class that is focused on buffing the player and also allies/summons (which there were elements of in Grounded 1). Instruments that attack and debuff enemies. there is so much potential for this as many bugs make such different noises. String/webs for guitars etc. Lots of 80/90s rock references which the game could definitely feed off of. - Dragonflies: Dragonfly enemies for a lategame craftable "Dragon Armour", it falls into the RPG element. Maybe you can craft a trinket out of the wings to give the player a temporary flight and a damage boost while airborne. Those trinket buffs could definitely just be the set bonus for the armour instead. - More Baby Pets: A baby wasp pet/companion that is summoned in while a new trinket is equipped, it goes around stinging and poisoning nearby enemies. A baby bee pet would be super cute and it could go around deliberately knocking down water droplets or collecting items that the non-flying player can reach. More Damaging Summons for a summoner build would be very much appreciated. - Map Icons: I wish the icons on the map disappeared after they were collected, on grounded 1 I find it hard to know which milk molars I have already broken and collected for example. -Traversal: Traversal at speed early game is justifiably limited from a balance perspective, but perhaps a stationary player slingshot could be used, recommended with a dandelion for longer distances. Another thing that could be made from grasshoppers potentially. - Base Defence: Turrets that damage nearby enemies (only enemies, not passive insects to stop infinite farms that could cause lag build up with all of the dead bodies) that don't need to be manually operated to work. Maybe a dart trap that shoots darts that are stinkbug or even spoiled meat scented that makes the insects hit leave the area. Means that there is more variety for building locations without such a bad potential wolf spider patrols or as much annoyance from land-based raids. Maybe even the potential to make a personal moat around your base to deter insects from coming near your base. - "Bugs" from last game: In grounded 1, a good 10% of my missed arrows would fall through the map and never be able to be collected again, a fix for this would be great. - Arrows/Ranger: I would love for arrows to be more convenient and available to be picked up again. Maybe a feature that increases the range and effectiveness of the auto pickup for the arrows as well, it always feels painful to go and pick up 20, 30 or so individual arrows when shooting at a wolf spider or ladybird in the mid-game, just a more convenient way to pick up arrows or return them would be great. What if there was an endless quiver where you could be given an endless amount of a certain type of arrow that vanishes once fired (so picking up wouldn't be a concern), for balance reasons it could just stay as non-elemental, basic arrows, but it would be helpful for a ranger. Even a mutation/set bonus/trinket that automatically returns shot arrows to you overtime would be excellent and convenient. What about mosquito beak arrows that give you a bit of extended lifesteal for the damage they deal? Let's the player go in swinging with their melee weapon, then back away and finish the kill with ranged, for a more mixed playstyle. More bow options would also be appreciated. Could use cricket/grasshopper legs, mantis arms, stretched scorpion pincers/tails. An earlygame antleg bow that does a low damage basic bleed overtime/deterrent or something? I just wish there was more variety in the bows and more difference between the bows/crossbows in grounded. I wish they were a bit more unique in their qualities rather than just stat differences. I understand that elemental arrows lose their properties once fired and this was done for balance reasons, but it does feel a bit expensive and lackluster to invest in this ammo, maybe a way to keep the elemental effects on your arrows? - Worms for Crops/Armour: What about adding worms? They could be used for creating super fertilized soil for bigger crop farms than in grounded 1? I feel like using a shovel to dig up grubs was one of my favourite unique features in grounded 1, being able to dig up more things, such as worms for a garden sounds pretty cool. Maybe even making a squishy light armour that has regenerative bonuses very early game could be cool, especially for exploration purposes. **I tried to make this as "concise" as possible while throwing out my ideas, I hope that the developers and community decide that some of these features would be good additions to the game we all love, thanks for reading this; best of luck to grounded 2, I am eagerly awaiting its arrival!!**

Can we please have the ability to stack meat of the same type and cooked level together? It gets really frustrating to constantly have to decide if I want to eat this food while I'm not hungry or drop it because I've killed 10 weevils and my entire inventory is taken up by the individual pieces of meat.

Yeah, I mean the books are basically about how the headmaster keeps putting these kids in mortal danger. Hogwarts would have been shut down 10 times over in the real world.

What if we had a pulley system that could go vertical to make like elevators or item transfers to high locations easier

Ive been playing grounded 2 with friends and I have noticed when the raid of bugs attack they only spawn and attack the host. I think it would be a good idea to have the raid choose a player at random to spawn next to. Giving it an element of uncertainty.

Your write up made me interested in the game for the first time. 😂

I'm not talking about the meals, I'm fine with those being unstackable, I'm specifically talking about the raw meat and the roasts. We can stack jerky, why not raw or cooked meats?

I’ve been wanting this since grounded 1.

Totally agree with this great idea.

just put the meat in storage. if it spoils, now you have fertalizer. im sure the fridge will be making a return in a later patch as well. might be a little strong in the survival aspect if you could stack good meals.

Hello! So I thought up an idea I’d like to share! A huge magnolia tree, I was debating whether this could be a payed DLC because my ideas for it seem very large scaled, but anyway. DLC: the magnolia tree consists of 5 major labs, each gets higher and further apart as you go, the lore follows a past ominent employee in the year 1998, Dr. Magnolia, he believed in creating a world where insects and shrunken humans could co-exist, and live peacefully among each other, so he built towns catered to different insects ability to move through towns, he wanted to see if this would work, so he found 50 volunteers to help with his insect x human town, it took a while before the bugs started to come, but when they did …disaster struck, bugs started attacking human bases, after months and years of building towns it all failed and the 50 volunteers went missing, most of them got eaten, some plummeted down to the bottom of the tree. But to this day, they still receive signals from a point in the tree, no one risks going into the tree…but you… you and a team of 3 friends venture into the tree, as a apart of ominent, you and your friends read about this incident years back, after you all got accepted into the ominent, Exploration internship department. You knew you had to explore this incident. This DLC includes many new insects and weapons, such as the: spider types: Hobo Spider- lives in funnels and stays in them. Jumping spider- Lunges to attack, very fast and agile spider, can be used to make jumping legs. Random bugs: Sawflies- Break builds way easier, breaks armor and weapons way easier aswell, more health than a wasp, free roams the tree, nest at the top, parts can be harvested to make a saw-like weapon. Cicada- neutral insect until aggravated, about the damage of a ladybird found around the 3rd lab. Bagworms- Requires tier III to bust open, and then you can kill the worm inside to get meat, and break the casing to get “Pupa skin” which can be crafted into hanging hammocks to sleep in at night you explore 5 “levels” of labs/towns, the first lab has mainly orb weavers and bagworms in the area, the second lab has wolf spiders, orb weavers spiderlings, orb weaver jr. the third lab contains Jumping spiders, cicadas, snails, orb weavers, spiderlings the fourth lab houses all the previous insects plus sawflies and the final level has all the previous plus… a assassin silk caterpillar and Botflies! Thanks for reading, add anything you’d like!

hi, Molly! I’m not sure if you already knew but in the normal grounded they offer a 3 rd person mode, annnd you can further the view, to get to the 3rd person view you have to press the d-pad (if on controller) and go to the top of the menu/circle and press that, it should change your pov to 3rd person, whereas making your FOV further or closer in not sure how to but I know it’s possible. You can use that while you wait for grounded 2 to release, but I’m sure it’ll be available for players in grounded 2 aswell!

I pruned some duplicate posts. I hope that's fine.

Hi! I have been a fan of grounded for a little after the fully yoked update. I do wish I had gotten into it sooner but oh well I’m here now 😄 I have some fun ideas I would love to see get implemented into the game • Gliders! gliders can be made with the butterfly parts, not sure what their called yet but, they can’t fly but they can glide for a short distance before they stop and you slowly float down like the dandelion tuft. It could be a level 2 or 3 tier item. •A sugary candy The sugary candy, like the fresh, spicy and sour, can give different abilities. They would be shaped like a star. You can use them for food, energy regain or to make staves! Instead of the sugary staff doing damage, maybe it could be a support staff to help your fellow teens or yourself, it blasts continuously like the (old) mint staff, until you run out of energy, it can give your fellow teens health, and energy and has a purple-ish tint •New ant types??? Some examples of new ant types could be yellow ants (yes they exist) these could replace termites, this may not be accurate to real yellow ants but they could spit some sort of acid, these ants would be above fire ants in damage, health and more stats. Oh and another thing, maybe they could have another ant size, I feel like being just worker and soldier ants has gotten old maybe, there could be a bigger size you may only find in the hill, between the size of soldier and queen. •Another fun idea 😄 maybe a stampede/hoard of insects, simaler to the way wildabeasts or buffalo travel, it’d be fun take on how the real world works and adding more experiences for players to enjoy, you and your buggies can take on hoards of ****roaches, spiders, mites, etc. or even friendly insects such as the snails just a fun touch for players not wanting to go MANY MANY centimeters across the yard to get to a higher level bug. • higher.tier.gear!!! maybe even extending into level four or five tier, this would have to happen over time when more bosses, and insects get added. •one last thing grandfather snail!!! A mini boss like the termite king, he can launch his slime/goo and you to slow you down, but once you defeat him you can harvest his shell and parts which can help you make the sugary staff Thanks for reading! Hope to see some of these in game one day

You're right. Stems are always lower than where you want them. It could be more expensive but a conveyer belt or something would be great

Norwegian election coming up. Hoping my guy Jonas wins

Hogwarts Legacy is a very disturbing game. 1) "Why are the goblins evil?" "They are starting a rebellion demanding equal rights." "Oh, how dreadful! Let's kill them!" With the player character making some actually very gaslighting comments on defeating them. 2) The player killing spiders with remarks on the lines of "If only you didn't look so disgusting". Killing wolves by the dozens. Then killing poachers (human beings) and stating "Now beasts are safe." The irony. And the people you kill are the dark wizards? 3) The school giving you a magic guide book that keeps track of your progress, and which the teachers can review to assess your progress. This quest log, journal etc, of course keeps your kill count. So it is a Hogwarts where Professor Weasely sits in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine in the evening and goes "Oh, my star pupil has killed 17 people today. That is 8 more than yesterday. They are really improving fast. I better arrange for them to learn some more spells."

Hello ! I really like grounded but sadly I am not able to play often because I have motion sickness. Would it be possible for grounded 2 to have a third person view with a further distance between the character and the camera ? I found that it help a lot with motion sickness . Also , if there is anyway that we could have more controls over some settings ( speed of the camera , motion blur , deph of field etc ) to help even more with motion sickness that would be awesome. Thank you very much , Molly
