Dear obsidian, my name is zak. I've played grounded since the first release of the early access of grounded 1 and have loved these games dearly. I've never asked for anything but I just had an idea. With the buggies, if I throw a weapon, I thought it would be cool if it picked up the weapon like a dog with its toy. Maybe also add regular toys for the buggies too. I love the buggies, especially the ladybug. I think the concept of playing with them is super cool. Maybe you could make this a real thing? Tweak it if you want, I just thought it would be cool.

A cool idea to add is a command wheel where you hold down to summon a buggy. You could use the "fetch", "stay", "follow", "aggressive", "halt" (stops fighting/makes it so it doesn't aggro), ect. The buggies could also get accessories like a beanie or extra armour as you upgrade them in the buffin barrel.

I agree so much. The buggies are kinda hard to control. If you can add "passive" "aggressive" stances or if they at least stayed when you told them every time, it would be great (people who kill snails understand my struggle)

Sometimes I solo bugs and my buggie stays there and enjoys the show ... wth man ... Do I need to pet him more? :D

Adding pet play mechanics could be interesting, but can become overwhelming with too many buttons. Even on PC this game has a lot of buttons. Im not an UI designer, but it wouldnt be easy to add this without hindering some of the gameplay when you enter combat.

Technically, adding a target mechanic would be just amazing. The cheese about it is to attack 1-2 times when you are on the buggy and then dismount it and start fighting on the side. I guess this could be enough, but I just don't enjoy this mechanic in game. Prefer to engage already dismounted.
