Early Access means the game is still in active development. While it contains a substantial amount of content, you may encounter bugs, and features from the first game might be temporarily missing. The developers plan to add more content and polish the game based on player feedback before the full release.
Technical issues like crashing can be caused by various factors. Common community-suggested fixes include restarting your PC, running the Gaming Services Repair Tool, and ensuring your graphics drivers and Windows are fully updated.
About Grounded 2 Gameplay
Your top priority should be to follow the main story quests. These missions act as a tutorial, guiding you to craft essential tools like the Omni-Tool, build a workbench, and establish your first base. It's recommended to complete these initial tasks before extensive exploration.
Mastering the 'perfect block' (parry) is the most crucial combat skill. A successful parry negates all damage and stuns the enemy, creating an opening for counter-attacks. It is essential for defeating tougher insects like wolf spiders.
You unlock new recipes by analyzing new resources at a Resource Analyzer, which can be found in Ranger Stations. Analyzing every new item you find, from bug parts to plant fibers, is key to progression and unlocking better gear and building components[.
The consensus among players is to build your base on an elevated location, such as on top of a large rock, log, or even a baseball. This provides a natural defense against most ground-based insect raids and gives you a strategic advantage.
