Grounded, the survival game by Obsidian Entertainment, received a major update recently. The game is currently in Early Access so you should expect major changes regularly. Update 0.9.0 brings a lot of content to the game that includes new buildings, new mode, photo mode multiplayer support, new combat music, and much more.
The game now has ladders. You can unlock them via the Hedge BURG.L Chip. Several curved walls, floors, and railings are added as well and they can be unlocked via the Ping BURG.L Chip. A new mode titled Creative with Bugs is introduced to the game. Here, players will have access to all the buildings and crafting perks of Creative mode but with a twist. Bugs will spawn in the yard, however, they won’t attack you.
More information about the new content is mentioned below.
