Public Test Patch Notes for Update 1.3.0


Recommended Posts

Hey Grounded fans! We are proud to present to you the "Make it and Break it" 1.3 update! We know you've been eagerly waiting for this, and trust us, it's packed with features, improvements, and content that will revamp your entire experience in the backyard.

Showcase Feature: Playgrounds

Introducing Playgrounds: our ambitious new game mode that allows you to create, share, and play new Grounded experiences, using a new suite of tools built directly into the game. Populate your very own backyard with an array of items — Chunky Chubbs baseballs, toy army men, spiders galore — and that's just the start.

Playgrounds are powered by these core elements: Design Mode, Play Mode, Publish, and Play:

  • Design Mode
    • Design mode is where you create your Grounded experience by placing and arranging game objects and linking them up to make unique and fun play spaces. 
  • Play Mode
    • Test your creation at any moment by swapping into Play Mode. In Play Mode, your yard will look and play how others will experience it. When you've tested enough, you can switch back to Design Mode, resetting everything back to its unplayed state.
  • Publish
    • Once you've built a Playground you're proud of, you can publish it for the whole world to see. Each Playground has a unique code that you can share with others. This means your incredible game modes, obstacle courses, or scavenger hunts could become the next big thing in the Grounded community!
  • Play
    • You can experience any Playground published by the community by entering the matching unique code to download a copy to play whenever and wherever! 

Design Mode

When starting a new Playground, you will be placed in Design mode. In Design mode, you can run around as your selected teen or as Handy Gnat, placing and arranging game objects to make fun and unique experiences.

Place Most Game Objects

You have access to most objects that exist in the game, including:

  • Over 300 objects used in the backyard: baseballs, army men, juice boxes, and more!
  • Over 400 items, like equipment, resources, and consumables.
  • Over 100 harvestables like acorns, pebblets, and berries.
  • Over 400 buildings you already know and love.
  • All creatures. Yes, including bosses.

Free Placement and Rotate Freely

  • Objects can be placed anywhere in the yard (including labs and anthills) and even floating in the air.
  • Objects can be rotated freely in all three dimensions. Objects can be placed sideways or upside down.
  • Existing objects, including foliage, can be moved or erased.

Gizmos and Gadgets

Also introduced in Playgrounds are a host of Gizmos and Gadgets that will add interactivity to your designs. Gizmos are invisible during Play Mode. Gadgets are visible in both Design and Play Mode.

  • Buttons, Switches, and Volumes
    • Button
    • Standard Switch
    • Lever Switch
    • Pull Switch
    • Timer
    • Transmitter
    • Receiver
    • Pressure Plate
    • Rectangular Trigger Volume
    • Sphere Trigger Sphere
    • Rectangular Blocking Volume
    • Sphere Blocking Volume
  • Gameplay Gadgets
    • Telepotty
    • Fan
    • Super Bounce Pad
    • Landing Pad
    • Laser Cannon
    • Laser Pillar
    • Shock Pillar
    • Power Up
    • Score Board
  • Gameplay Gizmos
    • Time of Day
    • Speaker
    • Music Changer
    • Effect Spawner
    • Quest Marker
    • Creature Spawner
    • Player Spawn
    • Equipment Equipper
    • Inventory Filler
  • Logic Gizmos
    • Counter with Condition
    • Switch Gate
    • Switch Gizmo

Trigger Events and Actions

Many of the objects listed above can "trigger" actions on another object.

A few simple examples include:

  • A placed Button can toggle a Plant Lamp on and off each time it's pressed.
  • A placed Timer Gizmo can trigger a Laser Cannon to fire every 3 seconds.
  • A player walking into a Trigger Volume can activate a Creature Spawner to spawn five Black Widows around them.

An advanced example:

  • Basketball Hoop increments a Scoreboard and Counter with Condition each time a shot is made. After 10 shots are made, Fireworks shoot into the air and the Door blocking your way unlocks, letting you into the next room of the dungeon. 

You can set up events by creating a "Link" from any object that has a Link Trigger to any object that has a Link Action. Once you have a Link between two objects, you can Customize the Link to set the triggering Event and the Action to take on the Linked object.

Many of the Gizmos and Gadgets above support Linking, as do a myriad of existing items, buildings, and objects already in the game.

Design With Friends

In addition to designing Playgrounds by yourself in single-player, you can also design in multiplayer and utilize Shared Worlds with this new feature.

New Playground Map: Grassbox

Not only can you design in the canonical backyard you know and love, we're also introducing a new map called Grassbox for Playground mode. Grassbox is a smaller, blank-canvas yard for you to Design in if you so choose.

The Grassbox comes with some empty, premade areas for you to quickly design in including:

  • Small bodies of water
  • Empty lab spaces
  • Empty ant hill spaces
  • And more!

Additional New Features

New Custom Game Options

To help you customize your Grounded playthroughs (and your new Playgrounds!), we have added additional Custom Game Options:

  • Building Enabled
    • Whether or not players can build and relocate buildings.
  • Crafting Enabled
    • Whether or not players have access to the crafting menus.
  • Time of Day Speed
    • How quickly the time of day will progress in the game.
  • Thirst Burn Rate
    • Multiplier that affects thirst loss.
  • Hunger Rate
    • Multiplier that affects hunger loss.
  • Resource Respawn Rate
    • Multiplier that affects how quickly resources are respawned.
  • Creature Health Scaling
    • Multiplier that affects the amount of health that creatures will have.
  • Fall Damage Scaling
    • Multiplier that affects the damage received from falling.

On top of that, all of the custom game options have been grouped under sub-categories for better navigation and clients will be notified whenever the host changes a custom game option during gameplay.

Payback Attacks Reward Science

Defending attacks from Factional Reactivity or from the Waft Emitter will reward you Raw Science for each creature defeated. Stronger factions reward more Raw Science per kill. 

New BURG.L Quest System

We are revamping the randomized, daily, repeatable BURG.L quests by introducing a series of "Apprentice Quests" that unlock sequentially. Once you complete the first quest, you'll unlock the second, and so on up to the final, most challenging quests. There are roughly 100 in total! After you've tackled these milestones, that's it for the Apprentice Quests—your journey is complete.

But don't worry, daily quests aren't going anywhere; we're just changing how you unlock them. After you've finished the first 20 Apprentice Quests, a new Daily Quest section will become available in the ASL Quest menu. These dailies offer a mix of objectives based on your progress on Apprentice Quests. You'll gradually unlock more options in your daily quest pool as you complete more of the Apprentice Quests, enhancing the questing experience for all players.
