I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet, but I've played a few games where they allow you to just create your own server. Take Minecraft for example. Download Forge, do a few technical things, Boom. You've got a server to connect to. I believe Grounded could benefit from something like this and would possibly solve a lot of high ping and rubber banding issues. Also, if this is a possibility, please don't make servers like Ark. In my experience, I've played Ark a lot with friends and the one main issue is the tethering mechanic. Nobody likes to be tethered, although not a problem in Grounded. That being said, Ark (Gamepass) dedicated servers are a mess. You first have to have 2 people with an account each. You then have to have another account in which to run the server on and a whole-ass other computer tied up. On top of that, all accounts have to have a gold subscription to play online. That's a lot of money for a game you can't really enjoy for too long because ya know... super bugs. So if Obsidian decides Grounded needs dedicated servers, please, take a note from Minecraft, learn from Ark's unforgivable mistakes, and stay cool. You guys and your game are awesome.

I've been playing Grounded since the pond update which I didn't notice any issues then aside from the explosion at the lab on non-host players screens would stay. I actually kind of like that bug. The new issue with my group of players is that no matter what computer or connection is used, non-host players will warp or rubber band. Generally, we build a base next to the pond where the end of the tree root is, and we've done so since we found the place. So, the issue here is that usually I don't host so I will try to enter the house and find myself warping backwards several times to be walking into a wall. I'll adjust my position and try to walk in again. I won't be able to open the door and within a few seconds, I'll be outside again. I can leave this area and be mostly fine, but this seems to be a huge issue for that area. Namely because we have a staircase going into the air and I'll warp to the ground and die. We also sometimes (but more or less rare now) get a high ping message. I have extremely fast internet and don't have this issue in other games. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and if there's some sort of work around. Additionally, there's the Bluetooth audio bug where I can use a BT speaker in single player just fine, but for multiplayer, the audio won't play. I did see someone report this issue on the forums, but that person didn't get any replies on his post.
