New Neighbors: Ant Queens and Your Decisions

The royal Ant Queens have arrived! These regal creatures are more than just a new face; they bring a new vibe to the backyard. When meeting them, it won’t be about ‚flexing your muscles‘ in combat but more about flexing your decision-making skills; it’s about choices and consequences – ally with them and gain powerful friends, betray them and brace for some severe ant-itude, or you can do the third option, which is [REDACTED]! These decisions echo across your entire experience, so choose your path wisely and watch your journey unfold with these new influential neighbors.

And the excitement doesn’t stop there – get ready for 12 new Ant Queen-inspired buildings, like the grand Ant Queen Chaises and Chandeliers as the ‚bench press‘ of ant architecture. Plus, for pet enthusiasts, there’s a heartwarming twist – the chance to adopt a baby ant pet. Remember, every choice in the ant world carries weight, shaping the relationships within this tiny, yet ‚mighty‘, kingdom.

Backyard Adventures: Remixed!

Get ready to ‚lift‘ your adventure to new heights with our ‚New Game+‘ mode. After you conquer the mightiest of foes like the Broodmother and the Wasp Queen, you’ll unlock the REMIX.R, leading you to alternate dimensions with remixed challenges. Every playthrough is a unique experience with creatures appearing in new spots, more demanding bosses, and hidden secrets.

But beware – some creatures are infused with Raw Science, making them stronger, faster, and harder to fight. Overcome these challenges to collect special trinkets with unique properties. Plus, don’t miss out on the new ASL content, Milk Molars in randomized locations, and the all-important Yoking Station for that extra power boost in remixed yards.

Quality of Life: It’s All About the Experience

We’re always listening to our community, and this update brings quality-of-life improvements that make the backyard more enjoyable. Multiplayer fans, rejoice! Hosts can now switch saves without a hitch, keeping the adventure flowing. Lost a pet? Our ‚Recover Pets‘ feature ensures they’ll find their way back home. For our builders and creators, the new object capacity meter is a godsend for optimizing performance and sharing your world creations.

Speaking of creation, the Playground mode now offers even more control and options for crafting your unique backyard. Report rule-violating Playgrounds, quickly identify trinkets, and delve into a trove of new content – it’s all part of enhancing your Grounded experience.

Hulking Content: More Items, More Fun!

„Fully Yoked“ is not holding back. The update is packed with over 20 new items and equipment, from the Termite King Pipe Organ to decorative rugs. Achievement hunters prepare for new challenges and the game-changing ‚Antbassador‘ mutation. And we didn’t forget about Playgrounds as they received fresh news props to add more possibilities for creativity.

Wrapping Up This Final Content Update

To help show you how Grounded is now beefier than ever, continue reading the patch notes below! The ‚Fully Yoked‘ update brings endless possibilities to your backyard escapades. The game has evolved in many ways, such as adding full Japanese VO for all players to check out. On top of that, the game can now be played on multiple platforms, including the newly added PlayStation 4|5 and Nintendo Switch. Now, players across all platforms can experience this Grounded: Fully Yoked edition of the final game, together.

Lastly, a huge thank you to our incredible community. Your support and passion have shaped Grounded into what it is today. As our last planned content update, we promise to keep refining and perfecting your experience in the game so you and your friends can play in the backyard.

Stay safe, and as always – stay Grounded!

Hey Grounded fans! We are proud to present to you the „Fully Yoked“ 1.4 update: the premiere Grounded experience swole with new content.

Each of the three ant colonies now has a royal leader residing deep within their respective hills. These new Ant Queens are not fightable bosses. They instead offer you a choice: either befriend or betray with a tasty offering. Which you choose affects the rewards you receive and how the colony reacts. Some choices have cascading effects that aren’t immediately apparent…

Next up, we’ve remixed your backyard! Introducing the New Game+ mode: a complete overhaul that adds layers of complexity and challenge. Instead of finishing the game, you will have the option to enter an alternate dimension via the new REMIX.R device. Each playthrough in this mode remixes the yard in a host of ways that will give you new challenges and rewards.

Accessing New Game+ requires defeating the Broodmother, Mantis, Wasp Queen, and completing the Javamatic fight. When entering this mode, all of your existing bases, items, recipes unlocks, etc. will carry over with you.

New Game+ Features

Infused Creatures

In Remixed backyards, creatures can be infused with the power of Raw Science. Not only do they have more health, do more damage, and attack faster, but they also have unique properties that make them extra challenging.

New Trinkets

The good news is that infused creatures can drop special trinkets that are also infused with Raw Science. These new trinkets also have special randomized properties. Ominent Badges can be collected again, and have new properties, and every BURG.L Chip awards a new BURG.L Chip Trinket, they too will have randomized properties to give you more options on how to build your character.

Yoking Station +10

The Yoking Station, available at the ASL in a remixed yard, allows you to upgrade your weapons to even more powerful levels. To upgrade your weapons, you will need to find new materials and resources only found in remixed yards.

Slurp the Core with More Molars

Molars can be gathered once more, and you will need to continue to collect them to stay as swole as the creatures of the yard. In a remixed yard, the molars are now in new, randomized locations.

New ASL Additions

There are a large number of new additions to the Science Shop. Check out the ASL for a new sign set, the Yoking Station, new weapons, equipment, and more, that can only be purchased in a remixed yard. To help with purchasing the new items there are new Raw Science spawn locations, and MIX.Rs have increased rewards.

Even More

There are other changes that are made to the yard in a remixed world, including more loot chests, different candy, and some other surprises.

The game can now be played additional platforms, including the newly added PlayStation 4|5 and Nintendo Switch. Players across all platforms can experience this Grounded: Fully Yoked edition of the final game, together, with crossplay!
