Grounded 2 has finally landed on early access, or game preview, as other platforms call it, and while it isn’t the complete product, there are a lot of things to do. Whether you want to tame a few ants, fight against spiders, cook some grub meat, or build a base, you’ll want to get familiar with all the things you can obtain in the game. For that reason, we’ve put together a list of all the resources you can get in Grounded 2, where you can find them, and what you can do with them.
Note: Since the game launched on early access, we’ll update this list as new patches drop and new resources get added to the game.
