Obsidian Entertainment has released version 1.2 of their tiny survival game Grounded. The Super Duper update adds plenty of new craftable items, improved building features, enemies, and a new boss to play around with.

A new status effect has been added. You can get it by being in a “cozy” location. It will slowly heal your character, and your hunger and thirst will decrease at a lower rate. 

This effect has a total of five levels depending on the number of cozy items that are nearby. Each level provides new crafting recipes to increase the level, get emotes and a new mutation that is used for building. The new update also brings 100 new craftable items to decorate your base and reach the highest coziness level.

For those who wanna build mega-structures or don’t like placing the items into the blueprints, you now get a little helper. You can activate the “Handy Gnat” in creative mode or a custom game. After you place the blueprints down, the Gnat will pick up any item it needs from the nearby chests and builds them for you.

New enemies, bosses, and more

Wasps have been added to the game and can be found in the upper yard. Defeating them provides parts for new armor and weapons. If you are looking for a challenge, the newest boss, The Majesty, can be found in the wasp nest.

The Pebblet Turret and Pollen Turret have been combined into a single turret that can hold up to six different kinds of ammo. You will be able to freely change what they are firing at any time, with some new and some old ammo available.

Item duplication was never this easy! When visiting BURG.L at the oak tree, he will now unlock the “Super Duper Machine” which duplicates any item you want for some raw science including unique items.
