Get ready to hit the ground running with the upcoming Fully Yoked 1.4 update

Hey, Grounded Friends! We can’t wait to introduce the upcoming Fully Yoked 1.4 update – the ultimate Grounded Experience a wealth of new content that is sure to delight you!

The reign of the ant queens

First, let’s talk about ants. Each of the three ant colonies in Grounded There is now a royal leader for you to meet, the Ant Queen, who can be found deep within her respective hills. With each queen, you face a crucial decision: befriend her or betray her with a delicious sacrifice. The path you choose not only determines the unique rewards you receive, but also influences the entire colony’s reaction to you. But tread carefully – some decisions have far-reaching implications that may not be immediately obvious…

The backyard, remixed

Ready for a backyard makeover, Grounded Style? New Game+ mode brings an exciting twist to every corner of your garden and enhances your gaming experience with unique challenges. With each playthrough, the backyard changes in amazing ways and numerous new system improvements are introduced. Accessing this mode is no walk in the park – you have to defeat the brood mother, the praying mantis and the queen wasp and emerge victorious in the Javamatic battle. After defeating these bosses, players can jump to another dimension using Wendell’s new creation, the REMIX.R. Expect different creatures, tougher bosses and a variety of eerie anomalies and hidden secrets in these otherworldly dimensions.

In a newly designed garden, prepare to encounter creatures infused with the essence of raw science. These beasts aren’t just tougher – they’re also faster, stronger, and have unique abilities that increase the challenge. But no fear! Defeating these imbued creatures will reward you with special trinkets also imbued with raw science. These trinkets feature random, unique properties and offer endless ways to enhance your character. Keep an eye out for Ominent Badges and new BURG.L Chip Trinkets, as these also come with random traits to give you more options when it comes to customizing your character.

To become more powerful, you need to purchase the Yoking Station in the ASL (Advanced System Library) in Remixed Yards. Here you can increase your weapons to previously unimaginable strengths. Be prepared to scour these new realms for unique materials required for these upgrades.

Don’t forget to continue collecting molars, which are now hidden in randomly selected locations in reshuffled yards. Staying as strong as the denizens of the backyard requires constant increases in strength, and those molars are the key to that.

The world is a huge, beautiful and dangerous place – especially when you’ve shrunk to the size of an ant. Explore, build and survive together in this cooperative survival adventure. Can you thrive alongside the hordes of giant insects and struggle to survive the dangers in the backyard? Discover the secrets as you play through the story! How did you get so small? Who did this to you? How do you get home? These are all answers that you will discover as you play through the story. Solo or with friends – anytime! You can face the backyard alone or together online with up to three friends. Additionally, the Shared Worlds feature allows you to continue playing in your shared world even if the original host is not active, and all your progress is saved! (Online console multiplayer requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Game Pass Core, sold separately.) Nowhere is safe – not even your base. Creatures can roam the garden in a variety of environments, such as the depths of the pond, the burrows of the termite burrow, and even the oppressive heat of the sandbox. You can even attract them to different locations in the garden by activating the MIX.R devices. However, the more you disturb the creatures in the garden, the greater the chance that they will come knocking on your own door. So you better prepare yourself. Play true to your gaming style! Use the in-game customization systems such as mutations and deciduous molars to activate the bonuses and perks you want for your character. Additionally, you can craft and upgrade your armor and weapons to give your character the stats and perks you need to overcome the dangers in the backyard. It’s time to make it big or never go home!
