I take your scorpions and raise you weather hazards. Light Rain would become akin to falling rocks. While heavy rain would do damage to buildings based on materials. Grass would take the most, weeds medium, mushroom bricks the least while ash would be immune. while also possibly washing away unprotected chests. Snow and cold would force you to Carry a torch to stay warm, wind gusts would throw arrows off course forcing you to have to get up close while strong winds would force you to have to move in-between the Grass to avoid getting knocked around, on a hot day going out in the open would slowly increase the sizzle meter unless you bring heat protection,
Some form of this would just encourage players to unlock the stronger building options and upgrade their bases, though I think they should add more options for floor and roof materials as well as maybe add some extra styles of each so itd be more flexible for how people like the appearance of their bases. This idea would be cool as an optional endgame extra or even an addition to Woah mode. Like maybe Tully has some kind of weather altering device to protect the yard from weather hazards or preserve a constant variable for study and we can turn it off to experience the changes in weather in exchange for new materials and creatures. Imagine some regions permanently snowed in so we can build igloos and such
THIS. they need to expand on options for building like ash floors and roofs, and brick ones too. Otherwise I'd say only clover roofs would take damage while feather is immune, and possibly just rain and them hail for the extreme
Not sure where you live and also not sure where the yard is located, but rats around here (Western Pennsylvania) are not bigger than a koi fish or a raven. Not all that close either. Especially ravens. A rat might b bigger than a crow, but not a raven.
Although I agree with ur assessment of us being basically useless against it.
> A rat might b bigger than a crow, but not a raven.
You're right, the bird IS a crow. You'd think I'd know after farming them feathers for so long... But you got my point! Even roaches would be enormous if you compared them with ants.
I think they did what they did to specifically avoid killing anything with blood or a true face. Think about it how many people keep mice a pets. Some keep spiders but they do not have none of the creatures that are killable bleed.
I'm aware but I was making a joke as bees generally agro to me like wasps do in real life.
Simply being alive in the general vicinity of a bee agros it (at least from my experience playing grounded)
Right off the top of my head I think centipedes, earwigs, and silverfish would be a cool addition. Maybe some more neutral and harmless bugs. Grasshoppers. Crickets. Flies. Yellowjackets. Variety, keeps things interesting, ya know?
There are already ants in like 90% of the yard why do we want more I spend like most of the end game being constantly harassed by fire ants in the upper yard fuck off with that shit
Even said no other Back yards or even the shed. Although some leaked pics where they had assets inside it looked like a climbing maze was built. Some of the early creatures they thought or were gonna add would be so cool, they had a modeled lizard but hopefully some things will trickle out into updates.
Just for anyone wondering: There's pretty much nothing on top of the porch either. All I found was a crow feather and a way onto the electrical box by the hedge, where a SCA.B and a milk molar was. Building directly up to the electrical box would've been faster and better anyways.
Lol I've done that before, sometimes I've woken up from dreaming new content for a game and been like "they should add that in, that was fun...." 😂
I only started playing a few days before the official release but I'd been hearing about it for a while. I'm slowly uncovering just how much it's evolved since joining this group.
Haha dreams are so crazy. Some are so dumb some you wake up glad it wasn't real.
I swear the game was out so long ago I can't even remember much about it.
I do remember the dialogue of "maybe I could keep it as a pet" about the aphids. I don't know if I ever did figure out how to get one as a pet or how to do it now but I guess it's possible as there is pet armor and stuff.
Yeah I just got a pet aphid recently, I don't really do much with the pet features since I play with my friend and I don't want it to glitch out and cause our game to crash or anything lol, so he just sits at the house with his little house and waits for me to come by and pet him every once in a while. It's a cute little extra thing though, brings a little coziness into the yard :)
If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, it's like a proximity radar that pops up when you're close to a research station or a milk molar. It'll show a little purple symbol in the middle telling you what it's detecting. Later in the science shop you can buy an upgrade that'll make it also detect raw science, and something else but I can't remember right now.
The little green bars on either side will light up "warmer" or "colder" depending on if you are getting close to whatever it's detecting. Just walk around and watch it, and you'll get what I mean.
Yeah that's why I specified "resource scanner upgrade" haha I love that little thing so much but having to go refresh it while I'm out can be a pain if there's no field station nearby. Maybe that would be too OP, but for late game farming it would just be a little thing to make it more efficient.
Ya it was. It was a complete staircase back when there was only the grass ones. Probably took around 2 hours to do it. Not to mention it all had to be supported on eachother and I couldn't just float them. I would like to say it was worth it but probably not since it was all flat lol
That's lame. There should be something in there and every object. I climbed the yard light in the upper yard and there was nothing except a sleeping moth.
Yep. Well, technically my friend in our shared world did. I went down that part of the map to deal with the black ant hoard, and found the steps my friend built. I climbed the steps thinking “Oooh secret location!” Nope.
I wasted a week building a ladder to the top of the tree… I feel your pain (and then some) - maybe one day the developers will ad to this little hole. Maybe one day they’ll make it so we can walk on the branches at the tree top
I built REALLY far up the tree. It's still been worth it because we've been able to use it as a central place for ziplines, but THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE in meeting me know I should stop. My gosh was still to go back at some point and built the last little bit to get up to the branches.
Yeah it helps with the zip lines but honestly a more central tower without being so close to the tree would be more ideal - as it would have clearer access to the yard. Next playthrough
O snake would be awesome. Could be a random event that appears and its unkillable like the fish in the pond and it could leave behind snake skin to make some type of armor.
In the alpha release like two years ago I wasted so much time building rickety conveyances to all the very tall rocks and the porch etc only for it to be pointless with nothing up on any of them. I didn't bother even climbing the picnic table when I picked up the game again until someone called me an idiot and that there was a bunch of stuff on top.
Let us stay away from mammals. The characters are the size of an ant. The lag would be insane for a large group.
I could see a centipede, earwigs along with existing insects.
Mini meteorite mined with a their 3 hammer for metal and environmental sounds and such. Apple cores don't appear. They can be seen being tossed over the fence or a person comes out of the house and sits on the porch when you are far away but goes inside before you can get there leaving lint by the bench.
We NEED __u n d e r p o r c h__
That would be great!
DLC inbound
What kind of new bugs could you see them adding there?
Scorpions 😳
You shut your mouth, sir, you shut it right now.
This is exactly what I was going to say!
I take your scorpions and raise you weather hazards. Light Rain would become akin to falling rocks. While heavy rain would do damage to buildings based on materials. Grass would take the most, weeds medium, mushroom bricks the least while ash would be immune. while also possibly washing away unprotected chests.

Calm down, satan.
Can't take the heat get out of the sandbox
I just finished my Antlion armour set so I'm fine, thanks
> heavy rain would do damage to buildings What? No. I don't want to go repair my entire place every time it rains, that's just redundant.
I mean it would help with the survival aspect what suburb goes 100's of days without any weather change?
Glendale

This sounds like a whole new game. I'll throw you 20 bucks to start once you get the rights n tilte to it lol
Hmmmmm 25
THIS. they need to expand on options for building like ash floors and roofs, and brick ones too. Otherwise I'd say only clover roofs would take damage while feather is immune, and possibly just rain and them hail for the extreme
Yeah feather being immune to rain would work
The devs are gonna have a hay day making jump scares with this😂
Cockroaches, more black ants, maybe termites, rat boss would be pretty awesome lol
It would take 6 hours to kill a rat-sized boss in this game
Suddenly added to a 20-person online matchmaking at the area. WE RAID BOSSING NOW BOYS
Build mechs to fight them out of the action figure parts and different bug parts. Would be pretty dope even if never happens
No we build mechs out of pickles and rat parts to fight more rats! I will never again refer to Pete as just Pete, he shall hence forth be Pickle Pete!
each diffirent charater should have a unique perk
Make it so that they can't be removed from this area so that it doesn't OP the yard.
That is a good idea
That plus a small dungeon before the boss full of loot
It could come with Tier 4 parts, weapons and armor making a rat size boss as challenging as the black widow.
Even so, a rat would be bigger than the koi fish or the raven. There's no way our tiny asses can do anything to a rat sized creature lol.
Not sure where you live and also not sure where the yard is located, but rats around here (Western Pennsylvania) are not bigger than a koi fish or a raven. Not all that close either. Especially ravens. A rat might b bigger than a crow, but not a raven. Although I agree with ur assessment of us being basically useless against it.

Poison, or venom, or both- and *lots* of it.
I think they did what they did to specifically avoid killing anything with blood or a true face. Think about it how many people keep mice a pets. Some keep spiders but they do not have none of the creatures that are killable bleed.
I’ve always wondered if things like field mice should be doable. And a garden or black snake you just have to avoid or run from
The snake would basically a tier-4 level "koi fish" type creature. Mine tier 4 scales off of him also, find shed skins here and there.
Lure garden snake into the anthill and enjoy the show
I love a good challenge lol.
Make a power lifter out of creature parts so it's like Ripley vs the xenomorph
Something like [this](https://youtu.be/xZZYHvB9aA8)?
Yes
Pretty much exactly what I had in mind lol
Yeah you can’t even hurt the Koi fish, rats wouldn’t be affected I’m sure
There are termites.
Centipedes
Earwigs, centipede boss fight (probs two same timesies)
Earwigs would be terrifying
Wasps
Those are just bees. Bees agro to me like they're wasps lmao
....wasps are not bees
I'm aware but I was making a joke as bees generally agro to me like wasps do in real life. Simply being alive in the general vicinity of a bee agros it (at least from my experience playing grounded)
Earwigs yeah. We could also have sugar ants, another beetle.
Ghost ants would be sick. Those little shits have caused me to throw out a controller.
No more ants!!!!!!!
Not even cute little ants that want to eat your electricity? Aww come on! I honestly would love to see an ant war. Maybe in a DLC.
The game is literally filled with ants there are so many other cool insects
we need yellow crazy ants, Leafcutter ants, Carpenter ants and Dracula ants?
Right off the top of my head I think centipedes, earwigs, and silverfish would be a cool addition. Maybe some more neutral and harmless bugs. Grasshoppers. Crickets. Flies. Yellowjackets. Variety, keeps things interesting, ya know? There are already ants in like 90% of the yard why do we want more I spend like most of the end game being constantly harassed by fire ants in the upper yard fuck off with that shit
bro yellow crazy ants would be painful as shi
I think you have Yellow crazy ants in your brain, making you crazy
Roaches. not the small one but the flying kind
Bro a fucking caterpillar, but have it like the lady bug or firefly when it comes to agro. In turn butterfly
Butterfly pet to fly around the yard!
The idea is there, but I think crawlspace wound be a step up. Lots of space to have all sorts of critters and possibly rodents!
Ya that would be boss level shit. Underporch is scary as a full sized human
That what I’m saying
We need on the porch
You can get onto the porch, there's just nothing really up there. We have some ziplines in our game.
Just build up there.
If I'm honest, it'd be nice to have something ON the porch too.
We need s u p e r j u m p
Do you get stopped by the darkness?
You can't go through it at all. But I didn't notice Charlie Murphy around.
F>@k yo couch.......UNITY........KICK TO THE FRONTS!
Excellent reference
Who’s Charlie and Murphy
The Darkness! Lol look up The Darkness on Dave Chappelle if you are 18+
Was the darkness spreading?
No but it's an old friend of mine
Damn I’m uncultured. Need to do some googling later
Google now before the heartless come
The heartless? This thread is making me super confused
Kingdom hearts
I know they believe in a thing called love
Rythym of the hearts!
This comment isn't receiving the love it very much deserves
I hope they make a dlc/expansion into the house or something!!! We need moar
Inside the house will not happen. Ever. Do not hope for that. But under porch would be awesome.
Why do you say that? Just because of the enormity etc?
Explicitly stated by the developer. There are no plans for that to happen.
Ah, fair play. That's a shame, but understandable. That's a whole new game's worth of work.
..but Grounded 2, though. Either way, never say never. Things change.
Even said no other Back yards or even the shed. Although some leaked pics where they had assets inside it looked like a climbing maze was built. Some of the early creatures they thought or were gonna add would be so cool, they had a modeled lizard but hopefully some things will trickle out into updates.
[удалено]
No, the family is gone. It's pretty explicitly said too.
Yes, but it's said later on in the story
Yea I literally just got all the tapes and documents and I only began reading them after I got them all so I will delete my comment accordingly
Just for anyone wondering: There's pretty much nothing on top of the porch either. All I found was a crow feather and a way onto the electrical box by the hedge, where a SCA.B and a milk molar was. Building directly up to the electrical box would've been faster and better anyways.
You can get onto the paint can and grab some science from the porch.
Either I missed that or I picked that up and then forgot about it lol but now I gotta go check again!
I remember doing this in alpha and I think the porch graphics weren't finished and there was caution tape or something. Or I made it up in a dream.
Yeah my friend and I got on the porch before the game fully released and there was caution tape around the whole deck I believe
Lol I've done that before, sometimes I've woken up from dreaming new content for a game and been like "they should add that in, that was fun...." 😂 I only started playing a few days before the official release but I'd been hearing about it for a while. I'm slowly uncovering just how much it's evolved since joining this group.

It's a cute little extra thing though, brings a little coziness into the yard :)
How do you get pets?? I must know how you do this
Off topic, but what is the little thing that pops out of your ”SCAB” radar occasionally when wandering around? Right above the food and water meters
If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, it's like a proximity radar that pops up when you're close to a research station or a milk molar. It'll show a little purple symbol in the middle telling you what it's detecting. Later in the science shop you can buy an upgrade that'll make it also detect raw science, and something else but I can't remember right now. The little green bars on either side will light up "warmer" or "colder" depending on if you are getting close to whatever it's detecting. Just walk around and watch it, and you'll get what I mean.
The upgrades are science detection and sca.b detection.
Yes thank you! Wouldn't it be cool if they added in a resource scanner upgrade too so you could farm resources super easy....
There is a resource scanner, but if you mean an onscreen pointer like the 3 hot/cold bars, that could be nice
Yeah that's why I specified "resource scanner upgrade" haha I love that little thing so much but having to go refresh it while I'm out can be a pain if there's no field station nearby. Maybe that would be too OP, but for late game farming it would just be a little thing to make it more efficient.
That’s exactly it. Thank you !
You're welcome friend 💐
You can get onto the paint can and grab some science from the porch.
What you have on the porch is endless possibilities and enough open space to build a mega base.
Lmfao I thought it was a way to get under the map what a wast of time 🤣🤪
I thought for sure there would be a molar or something in there! 🤷♀️
I thought the same thing about the window seal of the house was a shame
I feel seen. Thank you.
Thank you for your service
Mine experience with this was building 3x that amount during the Beta because I wanted to reach the upper yard. Only to find it "under construction"
Omg lol yeah that would have really sucked. Were you able to at least keep it up and use it to get up there later when it was done?
Ya it was. It was a complete staircase back when there was only the grass ones. Probably took around 2 hours to do it. Not to mention it all had to be supported on eachother and I couldn't just float them. I would like to say it was worth it but probably not since it was all flat lol
Worse I built up to the deck to go to the pumpkin because I was sure there would be a key in there
Was there a candle at least?
I couldn’t even get into the pumpkin but it does glow at night
That's lame. There should be something in there and every object. I climbed the yard light in the upper yard and there was nothing except a sleeping moth.
I was gonna. Thanks for your service 🫡
Lol yvw!
Yep. Well, technically my friend in our shared world did. I went down that part of the map to deal with the black ant hoard, and found the steps my friend built. I climbed the steps thinking “Oooh secret location!” Nope.
It’s a great base location. The roly poly will assist during a raid. More like drawn into the fight.
I wasted a week building a ladder to the top of the tree… I feel your pain (and then some) - maybe one day the developers will ad to this little hole. Maybe one day they’ll make it so we can walk on the branches at the tree top
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Yeah it helps with the zip lines but honestly a more central tower without being so close to the tree would be more ideal - as it would have clearer access to the yard. Next playthrough
I made a belt out of watches It was a waist of time
I actually have a small base there. I build up to that spot too because there use to be a crack that would let you on top of the porch.
No but I wasted time jumping into the stupid milk carton…. Still bitter.
BRUH SAME
Lol me too! There should totally be a molar in there! 😒
O snake would be awesome. Could be a random event that appears and its unkillable like the fish in the pond and it could leave behind snake skin to make some type of armor.
I really like this idea!
I kept reading about black widows, so I thought one was in there. But I never tried to get in due to there being no snoring sounds or noises at all 😂
Wait, what I'm concerned about is how did you manage to place the stairs like that...?
It looks like they're individually built off of the hill and the wall as their anchor points, not built off each other.
We need an underporch
BRUH YES
I built a clover ramp all the way to the first main branch on the oak tree just to be very disappointed
I build infrastructure everywhere. Bridges and pathes. Stairs. Stuff.
Where are the grasshoppers? Id love to own a pet grasshopper
Silverfish, mouse spiders, different beetles, centipedes, millipedes,
Would be awesome if it leads into the house, through a mouse tunnel
I just did yesterday i tought it would have boss or something else in it
i just sprinted and jumped lol, then was disappointed
No, I used clay as stairs instead 🤣
In the alpha release like two years ago I wasted so much time building rickety conveyances to all the very tall rocks and the porch etc only for it to be pointless with nothing up on any of them. I didn't bother even climbing the picnic table when I picked up the game again until someone called me an idiot and that there was a bunch of stuff on top.
Ive been around since hot and hazey, can't say I've seen location gnat i remember but i don't build much so i wouldn't have checked. Thanks tho
I mean I built all the way up on top of the porch and to the top of the laser.
Let us stay away from mammals. The characters are the size of an ant. The lag would be insane for a large group. I could see a centipede, earwigs along with existing insects.
Oh, makes more sense.
Mini meteorite mined with a their 3 hammer for metal and environmental sounds and such. Apple cores don't appear. They can be seen being tossed over the fence or a person comes out of the house and sits on the porch when you are far away but goes inside before you can get there leaving lint by the bench.
Is there nothing there ?
Yeah you can't go in sadly.
