Grounded is a game where you are shrunk to the size of insects, and your survival playground is the perilous backyard. With this wonderful premise, a vast map to explore, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tons of insects to slay, the game is filled with things to do.
With the game being on PC, you can bet there is a modding community that can further fine-tune your Grounded experience. Although not as robust as some other survival games like Minecraft, Ark: Surv🐷ival Evolved, or Conan Exiles, the library of mods for Grounded comprises some nifty little quality-of-life tweaks and some goofy cosmetic changes.
Disclaimer: Grounded&rsqꦑuo;s 1.0 release on September 27 meant many popular mods were broken at the time of writing this article. So, please read through the description page and the user posts tab of the respective mods on Nexus to ensure they are working on the current version of the game.
8 Bye Bye Depth Of Field 🍨
by Xxbuckhunter1999
While the aggressive depth of field effect of Grounded enhances the joy of exploration and makes the map feel bigger, the novelty wears off for many players throughout a long playt🌠hrough. Unfortunately, there is no depth of field slider in the game.
And this is where this little mod comes in. You also get a tangible frame rate boost and a lot less stuttering with theও resource-intensive effect be෴ing gone. However, be warned, it may reveal some broken meshes and placeholder textures that weren’t meant to be seen.
7 No Intro
by GreenHouse
Who enjoys loo⛄king at the same splash screens every time they open the game? This mod removes the intro screens of Obsidian Entertainment, Xbox Game Studios, and Unreal Engine and lets you dive straight into the action.
6 More Active Mutations 🅰
by FistMeSenpai
Grounded starts you off with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:two mutation slots, which you can upgrade to five with milk molars that you find throughout the world. You might have already felt that the five mutation slots of the bas🙈e game are a bit limiting.
The More Active Mutations mod comes with two options, one that changes the number of slots to eight and another that puts it to 35. Eight seems like the sweet spot in terms of not feeling too limit🌌ed, all the while not being too overpowered. However, we won’t be judging if you use the second version of the mod and use all the game mutations to your heart’s content.
5 More BURG🔥.L Quest Rewards
by Sidiusz
If you felt that the default rewards for the quests o🌳ffered by the friendly robot were a bit on the disappointing end, this mod will suit your fancy. With four options to choose from (x2, x4, x6, x10), this mod multiplies the rewards you get from quests involving insect-slaying, crafting, and analysis.
Depending on the version of the mod you choose, this can reduce a lot of grind from the g🌳ame.
4 🤡 Better Status Effects 🐟
by Gurudo99
For how tedious they are to make, smoothies in the base game offer far too little in terms of benefits. This mod addresses the issue and increases the duration of buffs that you ge💙t from smoothies to five minutes from the default two minutes.
Moreover, the mod𝓰 also amplifies 🐭the healing you get from applying bandages and the poison damage over time.
3 🉐 Carbonated Drinks
by Sidiusz
Every survival game has a cant♊een of some sort. And with how often you have to drink to stay hydrated, it must ge🎃t boring looking at the same canteen.
This fun little mod replaces the canteen model with real-life soft drink cans. You can now finally role-play your Pepsi-guzzling insect-slayer to your heart’s content. No worries if you are not a fan of Pepsi. You🌺 can choose between a total of eight versions to download.
2 Compass
by Heilos
The exploration in Grounded is pure fun. By making good use of the large landmarks peeking over the giant grass blades around you, you can easily navigate through the backyard with some thought. This is a masterful game design, rewarding 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the more attentive players.
However, if you are more of a fan of using the cardinal directions for navigating, this mod adds a compass to the HUD. If you 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:have played Subnautica, you will feel right at home.
1 A New Hauling Master ꧂
by menv
So you harvested one grass blade, and now there are a bunch of planks on the ground. With the game only letting you carry five planks and stems at once, carrying so many resources is tiring when you are trying to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:build a sizable base.
A New Hauling Mast🔥er mod cranks up the number of planks and stems you can carry to 50 instead of the usual five. However, the mod author warns against stepping into the water or going into photo mode while carr🅠ying stuff as that is known to crash the game.
