I always loved how Grounded was able to add in multiple environments, but make it all restrained to a single backyard Need a desert...have a sandbox in the hot sun Need a toxic area...have an area shrouded in gas by a weed killer Need a dark forest...have a massive hedge filled with spiders Need a water area...have a pond with Koizilla
man that pond absolutely triggered my Thalassophobia, they did a great job on it. The koi is a constant but avoidable threat. Plenty of resources that aren't required but make life easier.
@@MrXXXRyanoceros yea an some climbing gear to get in an out, an instead of bugs being a threat maybe avalanches of ice an ice sickles could be the threats
I’ve built a few bases now in the upper yard on my survival world, mainly for accessibility when traveling long distances. 1) Moldorc Highlands - a town centered on the stone mentioned in the video 2) Under the crashed toy car - makes for a small, compact cave-like outpost 3) Near the hot chachas on the NorthEast portion of the rotten stump. Surprisingly on the raised plateau there’s not much (besides the occasional mosquito) that bothers me. 4) On top of the composter - small outpost in the corner before I realized the shield bugs don’t red pawn 5) Outside the undershed, a floating base on the little pond there. 6) On the retaining wall above the fishing net I’m working on making more bases as I play more- there’s plenty of cool areas to build in the new parts of the upper yard!
An interesting base location is inside the Milk Molar bottle in the upper yard. The tunnel has a section where you can't build inside, but the bottle as well as the exit to the tunnel both can be built in. True it takes some work to look good, but I found myself able to make a 2.5 story tall base within. The .5 Being a foundation/basement spot you can only access through crouching.
My main base, which I built in early access, uses the ice caps container next to the embiggening platform. I have that encircled by mushroom bricks, then I climbed the leaf above and built a massive tower. From here I can zip line to the picnic table, the shed, the hedge, the upper yard, my pond base tower (built on the juice box).
I just use my flying boat WHICH NOW MOVES CAUSE OF WEIRD UPDATES GLITCHING IT so now I'm a boat flying around the map 🥲 and I no longer feel safe sleeping cause of it moving when I do currently above the house no idea why it's happening but enjoying this hilarious "bug" cause I've never enjoyed bugs or glitches until this cause I'm sailing the yard in style (will soon add turrets aka cannons and make boat go from grass slowly to ash cement not instantly tho cause I will go to sturdy stem mushroom then end it with ash
I built a elevator straight up to the tree where the branches start to break off. I can zip anywhere. Free of anything attacking my actual base. Other than things on the ground below me. Center of the map and a great view. 10/10 can't beat it
A base on one of the lilypads in the pond still seems to be one of the best choices I guess.. It's pretty good against raids and all important day to day things like grass, weed, acorns (you'll need A LOT of those for an elaborate late game storage system), BURG.L etc. are right next to it. At least for early and mid game it's one of the best I think. And for the late game you can easily enough build a connection to the important locations in the upper yard (ziplines, bridges, etc) because it's actually not that far off on the map (aside from maybe the termite hill but that one is crammed into the northwest corner anyways).
That's where I'm going to build my midgame base for multiplayer. We're currently just hanging around the baseball farming red ant armor to take on lady bugs and orb weavers to take on the hedge.
I made a zip line tower base about 3/4 the way up the giant oak tree. Started off as my quick travel base but soon ended up spending more time in it. Now all the other bases are little outposts.
I put my base in one of the berry shrubs in the upper yard and made a really cool tree house +the only bugs that can actually break stuff is flying ones and a cool view
my favourite place to build is always around the oak tree i make platforms coming out of the trunk in slices, and at different heights. one platform could be an armoury, another can be storage, but the top one is always the centre of a massive zipline network (made even easier with the new ziplines)
8:34 Haha! Yay! Baseball base forever! I love to build up the baseball into a multi level Castle tower and bridge over to the nearby upper footprint area to make into a castle town with guard towers and basements. It's a good way to expand the Baseball area and get more room out of the small location. And other than a nearby red anthill and the occasional wolf spider roaming around, it's a relatively safe and fun spot to build. I still like to build mini bases and resource gathering campsites all over the yard though. I really want to try building on some of the large flagstones soon. Upper yard looks amazing!
Nah, the cement structure in the pond is by far the best place. Once you build a ramp to the top, you can zip line to and from anywhere in the yard. You have an abundance of food in the pond, next to a feather spawn, and with the zip lines are a few seconds from any resources. Add to that you have your own feild station, and it's protected, nothing really beats it
The Pagoda/Stone lantern can actually be a 100% safe location... it just has one small caveat to it... no walls. If you just place your buildings there, you never EVER get raided by ANYTHING. At least that's my experience with it, flying or no, doesn't matter, I never got raided there during my play through, and the only thing I did different from you was that I didn't have any walls there at all. After all, flying enemies would just ignore them, and terrestrial enemies can't get there, so I never saw the point in making any. And despite pissing off every insect faction in the game, I never got a payback raid.
I made a base inside the milk carton. Had to build in from the opening but it is so cool. Have everything at the opening built redundantly in case a mosquito tries to ruin my hard work
Hey lads. I would like to share my personal best Base location which i just discovered! I wanted a base near the middle of the upper yard considering how packed it is with exploration and tough enemies and the ability to build high enough for ziplines! But nowhere was good enough for a large base and aesthetic one as well except on top of the tire... and how you build there?! Well grab a few buoyant foundations and build upwards on them a 1x1 or w/e u want walls and when you reach on top of the tire start expanding with pebblet foundations or floors whichever ya choose! Personally i expanded it a lot and made 3 ramps on all sides for easier access on the tire which also helped stop the wiggle effect that the base had cause its foundation was on water! Hoped i helped at least some of you for an amazing base spot. ^-^
@@AegisAuras I have been building the base for a lot of days now and have had like4 raids but all of them on my old base! I assume nothing can raid me so far. Especially if i didnt make the ramp and leave the base just with the water foundation nothing can actually raid me except air enemies!
I'm in the process of building my base on the oak tree. A bit of a pain to actually build and get the materials needed. I think it's worth it in the end. Especially when you use ziplines and have multiple ways of climbing up to your base.
I have a base I built there if I were you I would carry on as its very good in defense wise and view and even story as your near the oak lab A little tip is to build it off those mushrooms in the middle of it. You can even make and entrance way using the roots that what I've done.
To be fair, you don't need to use a bomb at all, to get to the upper yard, if you're decent at lawn parkour. Over by the hedge, there are blades of grass that will take you on top of the walls, getting you to the upper level as easily as your platforming allows. As well, there's a blade of grass near the upper yard ascent that you can parkour from with a tuft to reach the lower-upper, still sans-bomb. My current base, thanks to the Zip.R for zipline efficiency, is the hollow on the north side of the tree trunk. Its too high for any bug without wings to reach, and has clear zipline sight lines to basically every location on the map.
Im still rocking my base next the the field station by the Mysterious machine. I don't generally cause enough drama with any specific faction long enough to cause frequent raids and I have an outpost tower on the flagstone by the upper yard ascent. Its raid proof cause more then half of the raid creatures end up spawning all the way down at the bottom of the ascent, and the 2-3 that spawn up top meet my reinforced palisade gate.... and my crossbow, before they get anywhere near that outpost. Though a cool idea that ive seen a couple times is using the soda Cans around the map. They provide the perfect defense and you can just build a zipline tower on top of the can to get anywhere you want.
Most of the soda cans actually aren't that great IMO. They're invalid surfaces for building (at least in my saves I can never start a build on the can's surface), which means that all of your base is anchored on the pieces that aren't touching the can. Not a really good defense at the end of the day, if raiding bugs can destroy the one foundation/scaffolding/staircase that was holding your entire base together. Only the cans that are partially buried in the dirt, like the Cherry Chop can, are good for building in, because you can actually build inside them properly.
My main base is at the top of frankenline, nestled along the rocks around 5:30 in the video. Good spot for easy raid defense, whether it's larva weavers etc. They all spawn at the bottom of frankenline for some reason, or I'll occasionally have one at the upper yard by the top of the stairs. Yes, stairs. I like my elements so it's easier to make a buttload of stones using sap instead of clover roofs. 😭😂
Honestly i love building a base inside the empty space in the Pagoda/Stone Structure in the lower pond- As like many others. The reasons why i enjoy it is due to the feather spawn, alot of space inside to play with, personal Research Station, close to the upper yard, close to Burg.l, its kinda central, only flying insects can reach you (to what i notice), close to the underwater lab, amazing to look at, and plenty of veiws to awe at. The issues i'd see here is its hard to get resources there early game, The Koi (which can be easy to avoid), Belldiver spiders inside the pond, the flying insects are harder to kill, you can only do so much with the space.
My main base is constructed about a quarter up the oak tree, then I have zip lines going from higher up to the rest of the yard. It’s honestly been the best place I’ve ever built.
The funny thing is that, being near the oak tree and setting up a zipline up high in the oak tree serves players very well. You can get around the map very easily once u kill the assistant manager.
Thanks for the vids chief, very informative. I've built two bases so far, one surrounding the coke can near the plank cliff in the middle and another using the milk molar bottle in the upper yard.
The fence is still a safer place than most, because although wolfspiders can jump on the fence, they can or will only do it if its the fence stump closest to the oaktree. They can't jump on the higher ones, and you can build defenses so you mess with their pathfinding. The baseball is kinda worrying because of the orb weavers close by, they can't reach the baseball top but they can launch their webs which destroys structures.
My starter base is on top of the baseball, the orb weavers haven't shown up once, but we did have wolf spiders show up 3 times in the first few days of being there. Since I refined it, the wolf spiders jump up but fall straight back down, I've been there for a while and it hasn't been a problem! Super close to the haze & ants nest, so we were able to farm up wurst bombs really quickly, only problem has been the growing need to farm the upper yard, and that we haven't set up ziplines to the sandpit or hedge yet
Build your first floor panels on a permanent weed leaf and go from there, none of the ground raids can reach you at all, and you can hop up on the weeds or use a bounce web to get onto your floor
I am building mine on the oak tree….it’s been a long process but the plan is to have three layers the bottom later to zip line back and the middle for the main house and top layer for the zip line down but I do have the zip line thingy so I might change things here and there
My main base is in the tree, built up a long way so i got ziplines to all major areas from there, plan to build a tree base all around the tree for acces everywhere!
8:46 my base is currently at this location, I have it on the first post closest to the oak tree and have a trampoline to get in. I've never had any trouble with wolf spiders jumping in since they either jump and don't feel like getting on the base or just stare at me aggressively. Haven't seen if the infected one will do the same or wipe the floor with my base yet
i like to make my base up the oak tree and make base there i don't haft to worry about any ground raids and wen i start farming silk i got zip lines going everywhere
Same. It's central, safe (especially now that the wolf spiders sleep more during the day) and if you build high enough that you can zip anywhere like you're in the middle of a zipline web.
There is 1/2 submerged can nearly had the time where you have to defend 3 misers at wons you can build in side of it and nothing can reach you because the entrance is under water so not muce can actually get in there
You don't need to blow up the Rock at the climb up spot with the milk molar that gets u up to the grill all you have to do is make a type-a grass half wall There's plenty of grass grab 2 planks and plop em in and you should be able to hop right onto the rock iv never had any trouble with this
i built a trampoline tower going through the right claw of the sandbox and a platform with a castle on top of the claw, its a great shortcut into the sandbox nd its easy to defend against raids coz they attack the bottom of the tower, you can just set up some mushroom walls nd spikes, then its pretty much an afk raid base u just need to repair the spikes nd shiz after
We built on top of a lilypad/pond with buoyant foundations. Base is massive and almost impenetrable, got a tower like 65 high or so for ziplines that takes us anywhere
same. i never had raids there. only once there was a wolf spider on one of the lily pads. i have a simple tower for zips but thats it. no walls nothing. did u ever get raid there? i've built close to the soda can near where the mosquitos spawn.
@@freeone69 we got raids initiate and the bugs would always come to the front entrance of our base but up on the rock. We built a palisade double wall, double gated entrance leading on to the lilypad. The only problematic raid was mosquitos or Bees. We had a wolf spider glitch onto the lilypad the other day too actually. But nothing has ever managed to actually get into our base. Our first base build was by the juicebox just down along the pond from the soda can.
@@TheManOverThere i never had raids there. weird. only when i visited the small initial base they would raid. im on the lily pads next to the mosquitos. the juicebox is more west. im 90 days in. i have a ton of mushroom bricks tho. maybe i should start building to be sure.
@@freeone69 we're a year in on our world. We get raids every now and then after we go and slaughter a load. But seem to be less raids now. Maybe they turned down the raid spawns. Yeah we didn't want to be too close to the mosquitos. I hate them lol. We've started a new world now and we're using the pond feature with the field station in for a base. Building inside that. Nice to have a field station so close for sure.
I'm still going strong with the lilypads. Great source of food, sap, grubs, stems, grass, muscle sprouts, underwater materials, cobwebs.. you name it. It's dead center of the map, too. If you can navigate around or kill some mosquitoes/wolf spiders here and there It's pretty damn good.
Looking at the island in the upper yard left of the sprinkler in 1.2 and it has 2 ladybirds that roam through the water by the island and I've gotten attacked by ladybird larva just on the other side of the water. Not as safe as expected IMO.
I plan on building in the little mushroom filled divot where the under shed entrance is, a few safety gates at the entrance areas should Hopefully keep the bugs out
Is it viable to have a base under the patio? I've heard that it's apparently a good place because enemies can only come from one direction meaning if you have a base made from mushroom bricks you can actually have a fairly easy time defending against enemies
I’m surprised no one has talked about the location my base is at as it is in the milk molar container upper yard as I was looking for a base and tried to build in it as a joke then the blue prints went blue so yeah it’s pretty good base location as nothing can get in except you or another player down side is u need a level 3 axe though.
Ya I'm currently trying to get a oak tree platform so I can start zipping around lol...and I just got my first chip in the hedge but where should I go next
The Pond is simple enough, and self-contained. You might want to dive around the pond in the early morning when the sunlight shines directly down into the water: to see what you're doing. The Haze and Black Ant labs have a lot more fighting to contend with, so it's better to leave those for a bit, IMO. Leave a Lean-To on the edge of the pond, maybe with a basket and roasting spit nearby to store gear and cook food, and any deaths will be consequence-free.
I make a the oak tree in to a base and have zip lines to every where at this point after the game been beaten I'm just making random stuff now everywhere
The Oak tree is like, the best isn't it? You just need zip lines to get to the other places. As long as you can build up high, nothing on the ground can touch your base.
Yep, Oak tree is by far the best IMO. I always build right next to the lantern on the south side of it, on the highest roots. No issues with raids at all. You will ALWAYS have a lot of food (because of the flies coming to the lantern at night). And then from there I just build a MASSIVE elevator tower up to the leaves of the oak tree, and from there I have a platform with ziplines to basically every location on the map.
Of course the tree is the best if you plan ahead with ziplines all over the yard (I have a similar base) but you must not forget that a lot of us have build these bases and zipline networks over a time of around 2 years. For newer players or those that do not want to spend over 500 hours in this game like me, a more "grounded" (haha) approach seems just fine. I have spent hundreds of silk ropes for my ziplines lol.
@@Shishakind86 Me and my 2 friends started fresh on Grounded 1.0 and had big Oak Base with like a 50 story Zipline tower within about 10 days of playing a few hours a day. It's not THAT much work tbh, and it definitely pay off to build ASAP because it then saves you the travel times for the rest of the game.
Me and my friend play on a multiplayer world we live next to the tree I live on a log and my friend has a ring around the tree so it's good cause we have got a zip line system everywhere we need
All of these options are not the best place to build. The only good place is in a concrete building on the water, but getting to it is not very convenient until you have developed. The most important thing is that this place would be accessible from the very beginning, it was easy to get to it, and it was impossible for insects to get to it. In fact, the best place that meets all these tasks is a flat stone almost in the middle of the yard (slightly to the left of the middle), which can even be seen on the map. This stone is easy to climb without buildings, it is available at the beginning, next to it there are a lot of resources needed at the beginning (including an anthill in which you can farm medicines). If you build a tower of 5 floors, you can make a zipline to almost anywhere in the yard. In my opinion the best place to build.
How abouta video that shows the best OUTPOST locations, say you want to build an outpost near labs or important locations, where are the best spots you can find
Yeah, if you build from a spot like the highest roots on the oak tree, near the stone lantern, you get a bit leg up on ziplining with minimal construction needed. The roots are fairly safe too, though you might want to fill in some of the wolf spider tunnels at the base of the tree so that they have to use the opposite side of the tree. In rare circumstances they can climb part way up a root if they spot you.
Idk why but I have everything scanned and almost have everything but I don't have stem walls or any scaffolding idk what to do. Does anyone else have this problem
should've recommended building on the pond (lily pads/buoyant bases). its the most central spot and i haven't had one raid. i don't have walls either lol. i have zip lines to ur base spot, upper pond and towards the middle upper yard. made ziplines to where u first start out and one towards the rocks close to picnic table. the lily pads accumulate a lot of tadpoles and i cook 5-6 before i go clear out areas.
I always loved how Grounded was able to add in multiple environments, but make it all restrained to a single backyard
Need a desert...have a sandbox in the hot sun
Need a toxic area...have an area shrouded in gas by a weed killer
Need a dark forest...have a massive hedge filled with spiders
Need a water area...have a pond with Koizilla
Lol koizilla
man that pond absolutely triggered my Thalassophobia, they did a great job on it. The koi is a constant but avoidable threat. Plenty of resources that aren't required but make life easier.
Im hoping they add in a freezer one day, like a giant deep freezer that is a snow biome.
@@MrXXXRyanoceros yea an some climbing gear to get in an out, an instead of bugs being a threat maybe avalanches of ice an ice sickles could be the threats

The funny thing is that, being near the oak tree and setting up a zipline up high in the oak tree serves players very well. You can get around the map very easily once u kill the assistant manager.
Thanks for the vids chief, very informative. I've built two bases so far, one surrounding the coke can near the plank cliff in the middle and another using the milk molar bottle in the upper yard.
The fence is still a safer place than most, because although wolfspiders can jump on the fence, they can or will only do it if its the fence stump closest to the oaktree. They can't jump on the higher ones, and you can build defenses so you mess with their pathfinding. The baseball is kinda worrying because of the orb weavers close by, they can't reach the baseball top but they can launch their webs which destroys structures.
My starter base is on top of the baseball, the orb weavers haven't shown up once, but we did have wolf spiders show up 3 times in the first few days of being there. Since I refined it, the wolf spiders jump up but fall straight back down, I've been there for a while and it hasn't been a problem! Super close to the haze & ants nest, so we were able to farm up wurst bombs really quickly, only problem has been the growing need to farm the upper yard, and that we haven't set up ziplines to the sandpit or hedge yet
Build your first floor panels on a permanent weed leaf and go from there, none of the ground raids can reach you at all, and you can hop up on the weeds or use a bounce web to get onto your floor
I always make a base on the oak tree for great defence due to being high up and you can connect to anywhere on the map by using zip lines
I am building mine on the oak tree….it’s been a long process but the plan is to have three layers the bottom later to zip line back and the middle for the main house and top layer for the zip line down but I do have the zip line thingy so I might change things here and there
My main base is in the tree, built up a long way so i got ziplines to all major areas from there, plan to build a tree base all around the tree for acces everywhere!
8:46 my base is currently at this location, I have it on the first post closest to the oak tree and have a trampoline to get in. I've never had any trouble with wolf spiders jumping in since they either jump and don't feel like getting on the base or just stare at me aggressively. Haven't seen if the infected one will do the same or wipe the floor with my base yet
i like to make my base up the oak tree and make base there i don't haft to worry about any ground raids and wen i start farming silk i got zip lines going everywhere
Same. It's central, safe (especially now that the wolf spiders sleep more during the day) and if you build high enough that you can zip anywhere like you're in the middle of a zipline web.
@@ajpetrina86 yer and the infected wolf spider is not that much of a pain to go around to wen u block the haze up
There is 1/2 submerged can nearly had the time where you have to defend 3 misers at wons you can build in side of it and nothing can reach you because the entrance is under water so not muce can actually get in there
I might not be able to watch when the premier goes live but I will as soon as possible for the best tips in the grounded community
We built on the decking in the upper garden ne’er the field station is a great place bare recourses
You don't need to blow up the Rock at the climb up spot with the milk molar that gets u up to the grill all you have to do is make a type-a grass half wall
There's plenty of grass grab 2 planks and plop em in and you should be able to hop right onto the rock iv never had any trouble with this
i built a trampoline tower going through the right claw of the sandbox and a platform with a castle on top of the claw, its a great shortcut into the sandbox nd its easy to defend against raids coz they attack the bottom of the tower, you can just set up some mushroom walls nd spikes, then its pretty much an afk raid base u just need to repair the spikes nd shiz after
We built on top of a lilypad/pond with buoyant foundations. Base is massive and almost impenetrable, got a tower like 65 high or so for ziplines that takes us anywhere
same. i never had raids there. only once there was a wolf spider on one of the lily pads. i have a simple tower for zips but thats it. no walls nothing. did u ever get raid there? i've built close to the soda can near where the mosquitos spawn.
@@freeone69 we got raids initiate and the bugs would always come to the front entrance of our base but up on the rock. We built a palisade double wall, double gated entrance leading on to the lilypad. The only problematic raid was mosquitos or Bees.
We had a wolf spider glitch onto the lilypad the other day too actually.
But nothing has ever managed to actually get into our base.
Our first base build was by the juicebox just down along the pond from the soda can.
@@TheManOverThere i never had raids there. weird. only when i visited the small initial base they would raid. im on the lily pads next to the mosquitos. the juicebox is more west.
im 90 days in. i have a ton of mushroom bricks tho. maybe i should start building to be sure.
@@freeone69 we're a year in on our world. We get raids every now and then after we go and slaughter a load. But seem to be less raids now. Maybe they turned down the raid spawns.
Yeah we didn't want to be too close to the mosquitos. I hate them lol.
We've started a new world now and we're using the pond feature with the field station in for a base. Building inside that. Nice to have a field station so close for sure.
@@freeone69 we even had a raid spawn at a competed mix.r one time as we walked past it. That was weird lol. Never had it since.
I'm still going strong with the lilypads. Great source of food, sap, grubs, stems, grass, muscle sprouts, underwater materials, cobwebs.. you name it. It's dead center of the map, too. If you can navigate around or kill some mosquitoes/wolf spiders here and there It's pretty damn good.
Looking at the island in the upper yard left of the sprinkler in 1.2 and it has 2 ladybirds that roam through the water by the island and I've gotten attacked by ladybird larva just on the other side of the water. Not as safe as expected IMO.
Well once ya build up ya base shouldn't be to bad, I just liked the natural water, they never followed me unless I was at the back as its shallower
I plan on building in the little mushroom filled divot where the under shed entrance is, a few safety gates at the entrance areas should
Hopefully keep the bugs out
is there a video that shows more detail on that first base??
Is it viable to have a base under the patio? I've heard that it's apparently a good place because enemies can only come from one direction meaning if you have a base made from mushroom bricks you can actually have a fairly easy time defending against enemies
8:57 oh yeah, Castle Rock. be careful there's fire breathing beasts in the dungeon!
I built my forst home in EA onto0 of the baseball and set up trampolines to get up to it or you can just climb that branch.
I use the oak fence where the weavers are, mid n end game they're not a problem
We need a draw bridge so we can be isolated with a moat.
I built on the pond statue and I gave a bridge. A simple swap to mobility mutations and the grill is nothing.
I’m surprised no one has talked about the location my base is at as it is in the milk molar container upper yard as I was looking for a base and tried to build in it as a joke then the blue prints went blue so yeah it’s pretty good base location as nothing can get in except you or another player down side is u need a level 3 axe though.
I just today started to create a base on top of the wheelbarrow
I live in the ice mint caps box and I made some expansions so now the ice mint caps box is meh basement where I have my storage stuff
bro got so many useful tutorials idk what he can make next where to put your ziplines for most resources or like what?
Ya I'm currently trying to get a oak tree platform so I can start zipping around lol...and I just got my first chip in the hedge but where should I go next
The Pond is simple enough, and self-contained. You might want to dive around the pond in the early morning when the sunlight shines directly down into the water: to see what you're doing. The Haze and Black Ant labs have a lot more fighting to contend with, so it's better to leave those for a bit, IMO. Leave a Lean-To on the edge of the pond, maybe with a basket and roasting spit nearby to store gear and cook food, and any deaths will be consequence-free.
that waft emitter defense base is interesting, do you have advise or location for waft emitter base for easy farming monster part..?
Don't, you don't get more parts in fact you normally lose more parts then get back
I make a the oak tree in to a base and have zip lines to every where at this point after the game been beaten I'm just making random stuff now everywhere
Ive always built my base right next to the juice box by the pond lol
I'm not saying where mine is, but I don't need to worry about anything and food definitely isn't a probably
The Oak tree is like, the best isn't it? You just need zip lines to get to the other places. As long as you can build up high, nothing on the ground can touch your base.
Yeah me and my mate live there and do that
Yep, Oak tree is by far the best IMO. I always build right next to the lantern on the south side of it, on the highest roots. No issues with raids at all. You will ALWAYS have a lot of food (because of the flies coming to the lantern at night). And then from there I just build a MASSIVE elevator tower up to the leaves of the oak tree, and from there I have a platform with ziplines to basically every location on the map.
Of course the tree is the best if you plan ahead with ziplines all over the yard (I have a similar base) but you must not forget that a lot of us have build these bases and zipline networks over a time of around 2 years. For newer players or those that do not want to spend over 500 hours in this game like me, a more "grounded" (haha) approach seems just fine. I have spent hundreds of silk ropes for my ziplines lol.
@@Shishakind86 Me and my 2 friends started fresh on Grounded 1.0 and had big Oak Base with like a 50 story Zipline tower within about 10 days of playing a few hours a day. It's not THAT much work tbh, and it definitely pay off to build ASAP because it then saves you the travel times for the rest of the game.
@@12345678bobster Having 2 friends helping, surely is a different story of course.
Me and my friend play on a multiplayer world we live next to the tree I live on a log and my friend has a ring around the tree so it's good cause we have got a zip line system everywhere we need
All of these options are not the best place to build. The only good place is in a concrete building on the water, but getting to it is not very convenient until you have developed. The most important thing is that this place would be accessible from the very beginning, it was easy to get to it, and it was impossible for insects to get to it. In fact, the best place that meets all these tasks is a flat stone almost in the middle of the yard (slightly to the left of the middle), which can even be seen on the map. This stone is easy to climb without buildings, it is available at the beginning, next to it there are a lot of resources needed at the beginning (including an anthill in which you can farm medicines). If you build a tower of 5 floors, you can make a zipline to almost anywhere in the yard. In my opinion the best place to build.
If I built a huge base in the tire would bug attacks be able to get inside
Technically No, but it's pretty annoying to get in and out from the tire tho
Does anyone know how to move in Grounded? What if I want to move stuff to another side of the map? Do I really have to run one chest at a time?
*_Hey dude, how to usw freecam? :)_*
How abouta video that shows the best OUTPOST locations, say you want to build an outpost near labs or important locations, where are the best spots you can find
I got dizzy with all the spinning in the tower one. :P
I bulid one of my base in missing brick spot
What about the oak tree?
I'm thinking after my hedge base, I'm going to build under the shed
All the spinning was absolutely sickening lol. But other than that great insight into the locations.
surprised elevation isnt a score value .....
zip lining without making huge ugly towers is a major plus
maybe for purely base athletics guide or something but people build huge zipline towers anyway
Yeah, if you build from a spot like the highest roots on the oak tree, near the stone lantern, you get a bit leg up on ziplining with minimal construction needed. The roots are fairly safe too, though you might want to fill in some of the wolf spider tunnels at the base of the tree so that they have to use the opposite side of the tree. In rare circumstances they can climb part way up a root if they spot you.
IT'S TIME!!!
Idk why but I have everything scanned and almost have everything but I don't have stem walls or any scaffolding idk what to do. Does anyone else have this problem
look up chips, one of them give steh upgrade
Scaffolding is from analyzing a weed stem, no? You need to be carrying it when you go to the analyzer. Try that?
Here’s the thing about building very far always from everything…..
ZIPLINES!!!!!!
in beta i hat treehouse in the oak tree
This is redundant. The compote box is so high up you can make zip lines to reach almost any area you want
stil cant send resopucres up zipline, and while new stuff make sit easier i would say its still a hard spot, good for creative so no, not redundent
Did this man just call me a rat bag.
i'm so lazy to build that i just make a can as a base
Why not just show us on the map 😂
should've recommended building on the pond (lily pads/buoyant bases). its the most central spot and i haven't had one raid. i don't have walls either lol. i have zip lines to ur base spot, upper pond and towards the middle upper yard. made ziplines to where u first start out and one towards the rocks close to picnic table. the lily pads accumulate a lot of tadpoles and i cook 5-6 before i go clear out areas.
