Hi everyone, just wanted to share the Light Tower that I've been building in Grounded 2. I started working on this design years ago in original Grounded, and I'm updating it for the new base building and crafting introduced in Grounded 2. The goals of this building are to act as a navigational beacon, create a defensible base, enhance base crafting experience, and to provide an ideal zipline network. Obviously the current tower is not a completed design as I continue to source milkweed and other Tier 3 materials, and we do not currently have access to Tier 3 Omnitools and raw materials like pine cones, lint, and more. Any feedback and suggestions on how to improve the design are greatly appreciated, so you can comment in this thread or directly on the YouTube video as well. https://youtu.be/j-4xGy5cnMc

In the game, when you place lamps in your base, you expect to be able to see your illuminated base at night, and if you have a lot of lamps, it should be increasingly bright (cumulative total of all light reflecting off the same surface). If you are close to your base (less than 20 tiles away, you can clearly see the light from plant lamps, our brightest source of light currently. However, if you move further away, like 50+ tiles from the light source, your base fades into the blackness of night like a shadow being swallowed up like a black hole. So can the developers either fix the light casting mechanic ingame, or if that is not possible, maybe let us chop up the pop cans in the yard to get some reflective aluminum?

Makes it challenging to hunt airborne insects without staves that track targets.

What kills my FPS completely is if more than 50% of my view is toward the sky.

Everchar Torch repaired itself without using Everchar Coal after reload back into save game

After an O.R.C. attack, I was repairing several base parts when I got to the ladders that were damaged. Apparently, when you try to repair them, it now forces your character to jump close to the ladder and start climbing. This appears to be a glitch with the climb command being single press of "E", and repair being holding "E" down. Failed ladder repair

Confirmed, CDiinky has published this exploit to youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E7m35m1fZw

Note the RS is 3290, but the upgrade lists 3.3k required. If this is correct, the Omni-Shovel upgrade RS requirement should show red.

Butterflies are Neutral, so will attack if provoked.

No, that was from a brand new caterpillar kill.

Confirmed, had to rebuild it. I think the quest just isn't pulling the name variable.

The eggs I had in my backpack were for bratburst (worker red ant).

Only had one Grub Raw meat hanging on Jerky Rack at the time. Also tested on Jerky Rack with no food hanging, same result.

With the Egg Storage building already completed, and holding 2 new red ant eggs in my backpack (not buggie), the option to deposit or use egg storage are greyed out. I have not placed any eggs in the egg storage building.

I think the developers should consider making snail shells a destructible resource that can be targeted by attacking insects if the shells block their path. Otherwise I can see this resource being farmed into impenetrable walls.

08/03/2025 6pm CST Just crashed again, only this time I verified Omni Hammer Tier II was still upgraded (which it was), searched for spicy shard on resource finder, set marker, exited map, attempted to mount Red Soldier Ant buggie. Game hesitated with animation and audio before crashing to desktop. The other circumstance that is different this time is that when I started my computer, Xbox did not list Grounded 2 as already installed, but rather it was downloading it as if it was a fresh install. _______________________________________________________________________________ 08/04/2025 5am CST Deposited buggie to Ant Nest first, then exited Ant Nest interface. Re-entered Ant Nest interface and withdrew same buggie. Successfully mounted buggie. Glitch appears resolved.

Try checking windows error reporting to see more specifically why the crash occurred.

Try to run a repair on game files.

Just completed upgrading to Omni Hammer Tier II, searched for Red Ant Part in map resource finder, set marker, exited map, attempted to mount Red Soldier Ant Buggie and game hesitated and crashed to desktop.

I have already built the grinder successfully prior to receiving this as a pinned mission.
