Obsidian Entertainment, the developer of Grounded, recently released an update that adds three new creatures: mosquitoes, fireflies, and bees. The addition of these creatures also means more crafting content, such as armors, shields, and consumables for your character.
Another cool new change is that equipped items no longer take backpack space since they are held by the character. Also, when your character dies, the items will not be lost but will sustain small durability damage. The patch has resolved the performance drops in the autosave feature.
