Hi. Grounded has become my favorite survival game in a long time. I especially like the variety and differences in enemies. The wolf spider is my favorite so far, because it poses a actual threat. It would be even better if the enemies weren't as easy to cheese through. Here are my suggestion to make it even better imo. I'm playing on Whoa! difficulty and Xbox One X. Bought version. 1.) Spiders would be even better if they had the ability to climb certain surfaces, jump on top of certain surfaces and new attack patterns to combat players standing on top of a leaf/small obstacle. Poke players down with front legs or something. Also fix the existing AI, pathfinding and spawning. 2.) Make attack patterns/animations of a lot of enemies shorter and less easy to predict. Like the ladybug, it provides access to next tier gear. Yet it takes it's time to "prepare" a certain attack, while the player runs circles around it with a mallet etc. 3.) The stink bug gets stuck on absolutely everything. Hence ridiculously easy to cheese. Please do something to improve this behavior. 4.) Bombardier is the same, run circles around it and just avoid the "spit" attack. 5.) The flies. Maybe make the fly swarm to a actual mechanic instead. Player covered in certain substances/carrying certain items (spoiled meat etc.) would become more prone to fly swarming. Currently they add barely anything mechanics wise. 6.) Little critters (spiders/mites etc.). Those could be more numerous. Also maybe add poison damage for the little spiders, but low attack damage otherwise. 7.) Larva. Definitely bugged, at least when it comes to spawning. I have one cave that has over 40 larva spawn.. Also they usually just spazz in place, looking like they had a seizure or something. Also maybe increase their cone of attack. 8.) Ants are mostly fine, except for the stealing mechanic distance and collision seems bugged. Also they sometimes clip through walls. Ant spawning seems a bit glithy too. Like, is the ant nest supposed to have only soldier ants, and like aroaround 10 in almost every room? That's about it so far. Really liking the game and can't wait for fixes/content updates etc. Keep up the good work

Nerfed? Well maybe on easy/normal. On Woah!, they need a buff imo. Maybe they wouldn't be that bad on easy/normal when AI/Spawning/mechanics are fixed. Currently, the enemies are way too easy to cheese. Maybe more attack patterns and the ability to attack players higher up. Like poke players down with front legs or something.

First, let me just say this game is fantastic. Great job Obsidian. Now, for the issues. Platform: Xbox One X Version: Latest. Bought (not Game Pass) Difficulty: Woah! 1) The ants really have a long reach when it comes to stealing stuff from baskets/crates. 2) When hostile mobs (like Larva) begin a siege, it's usually out of nowhere and right next to base. Some kind of warning would be nice. 3) Some occasional physics related glitches with stuff on on the ground, especially when walking over various items. Got catapulted to the sky a few times. 4) Minor performance issues at night, especially areas with fog/gas/mist. 5) Weird AI behavior after sticking to one place for a long time. Mobs spawn inside the ground (abandoned ant nest entrance), spiders just standing around producing sound/anim as if there was a lure trap (there isn't anymore). Memory leak, or do i have "ghost" lure traps still around? 6) There is like 30-40 larvae in that one cave with a lot of quartzite. Spawn bug? 7) The enemy design is great. Finally enemies that give the player a proper challenge and force the player to plan ahead carefully. Too bad they are way too easy to cheese, please do something to negate this. Maybe add spiders the ability to climb certain things, ability to jump ahead or at least give them attack moves to knock players down from certain altitude (stab with front legs etc.) No other issues really. Never crashed, still using my first save game. All is well. Built my base on top of one of the oak trees roots (next to the lamp). Nothing can reach my base, no ants/larva/spiders (surely not intentional?). Easy living Looking forward to content updates (especially new areas/mobs). And again, such a fantastic game
