I would love the option of being able to pick up your Pets to make moving them around a lot easier, but would leave you open to attack because you're using both hands to carry your Pet. Mainly because i decided to move my base from near the Pond to the Upper Yard and trying to get my Weevil, Lewis, up there to keep him safe, was almost impossible. He died to a Wolf Spider during the attempt....God rest his Snout.
It's...if people think the state it's in right now counts as fixed, maybe I'm the odd one out. Just saying, it's still God awful. R.i.P Lewis, he deserved a better brain
I agree, there are still plenty of issues & there will still be issues after full release. Hopefully with full release they'll focus on the issues since they won't be working on content anymore.
I think they did well with the pet changes they've made, I haven't had a pet since my first aphid justly because the effort was so much more than the reward! They actually feel like pets now!
@Original Ryan I never did figure out how to assign my pet house to my pet. My original pet hung around inside my house all the time and so I figured he would always stay there, but no unfortunately.
maybe the increased gliding speed will help getting into the basket on the bike handles by the shed, because there is a good amount of the tough and fashion rocks in there :D
You use to be able to deposit things in their inventory (at home) while adventuring. Then you could "drop" them out of their inventory and when you got back everything would be on the floor. Is this still a thing?? Think it will be patched??
I appreciate you for making a video on this I'm really digging the gnat like I had mentioned before with the pet and vulnerability off would it help out more and also have you lost anything recent from the pet inventory I know you said when it died but what if they couldn't die
Absolutely! I've not had any pets die, but they've basically disappeared. I've had a few randomly fall through the world as well. Like I said, I don't put anything valuable in the pet inventory for fear of losing it. If they're invulnerable, they're still subject to the randomness that can happen & I don't know what will happen to their contents.
I know they said today would be the day for Xbox I can't wait anymore LOL thanks for the testing and I hope that's one thing that they work on and perfect the extra inventory slot is what's important
Think the fat boys drop 4 gnat meats & 4 spoiled. I'll have to double check because Gnatcho Libre eats a lot! 😆 Hopefully the +10 inventory works as intended!
As far away as possible from what I've seen. Thry should've fixed it to where your pet stays at your base now as noted in the latest patch notes. I've not tested this since the patch, but plan on it today.
I've never noticed any icon of the dead pet. Most of mine have just disappeared when I return to my base lol. I'm checking into some of the newer changes.
I think that’s the biggest problem with pets. It would make sense to get your stuff back when it dies but what happens when the pet glitches or disappears. It would be pretty frustrating
great vid, totally agree on having more pet house designs also you can try taming the gnat near the mysterious machine as there's always 1 near the water . does the pet status affect the pet icon from appearing? I've had mine disappear while away from my pet and had to locate the pet and call it to get the pet icon back. extremely frustrating to say the least. If only the devs can put the call pet button so and instantly summon or spawn the pet where our characters are.
The pets have never been a fleshed out opportunity. They tried to make them pets to be cute & cuddly in your home AND make them useful without leaning into one way or the other. I'd be fine with either, but go 100% into it!
Hey love your content man. Been watching for awhile and honestly thought I subbed back when I found you (bad for that) but was wondering if you or anyone knew if your pets will take slurries out of a chest or basket, would be helpful to keep them around
Hey! No worries Chris, I appreciate it! We do know the answer to your question & that's a "No.". The pets won't feed themselves, we tested it a few streams back & they wouldn't. Even trying to put the slurries in the pet's inventory & they wouldn't eat it.
@@OriginalRyan ah ok thanks a lot I appreciate that lol we tried to an hour haha, I was like damn it’s in the inventory, I dropped it he won’t pick it up lol
@@OriginalRyan one more thing, I keep telling my friend that we need to fight the haze lab before moving into the upper yard. They have already went exploring there but is there a reason why you do the labs in order? We’ve done hedge, pond and black ant hill
I haven't received the 0.14 update yet (Xbox X/S) and am waiting to continue playing for its new armor upgrading mechanics AND the gnat-as-pets for the increased on-the-fly (lol! I crack me up =;O) inventory. (BTW, your Gnats-as-Pets announcement video was a crack up!)
Technically I built my house first! He just happened to live there after the update & we got along really well so Reggie has become a HUGE part of our world & community!
Pets are completely broken at the moment. 1.) They don't follow you. 2.) They suck at path finding. 3.) They roam around aimlessly and get themselves killed. 4.) Ants will eventually break into their pens and devour them unless you're on guard 24/7 5.) They get sad even when well fed/petted. 6.) Sometimes they refuse to eat.
A lot of your points are false to be fair. They don't follow you unless you call them. They DO suck at pathfinding. They don't roam around aimlessly. I've never had an ant "break in" & devour them lol. They might still get unhappy, but that doesn't affect their use or cause them to leave. They might be refusing to eat because they've eaten recently & aren't hungry. All in all, they're more useful than they've been in the past, but some things still need work. It seems like you need to try & work with them a bit more to realize some of the fixes.
@@OriginalRyan - Why would I lie? Every single one of my points is valid as they all happen to me repeatedly. My base is built in the Antlands on the baseball. I built a pen on the ground and the ants constantly chew at the fencing to get in. They then eat my pets. I suppose I could build a multi layered mushroom brick fortress around them but I'd really rather not. Besides, that won't help against the random stink bug who wanders through and decides to fart all over my pets. Yep that's happened to me twice so far as well. They do not follow me when I call them. They go in the opposite direction and get murdered by other insects. Yes, they do roam around on their own and sometimes quite the distance. Quote: "They might be refusing to eat because they've eaten recently & aren't hungry." My aphid wouldn't touch his dinner for days. He became sad and just jumped up and down in one area of his pen. The second I opened the gate he took off. I'm sure he will eventually get eaten by something. I spent 5 hours today trying to guide my pets to a safer pen. I even built a walled pathway for them to follow. No amount of petting, putting food down or calling them would cause them to follow me or the path laid out for them. So if you're lucky enough to get a pet where you want it for safe keeping, without having ants trying to eat them constantly then yes, the marginal perk you get makes it worth it. I do hope they can work out the "bugs" because pets could be far more useful and fun than they are right now. I'm glad you don't have these problems.
You must just have some terrible luck then aside from your chosen base location. I've had some issues with them, but not that many. Biggest issue is them just desyncing & falling through the world until they die. Biggest perk is the 10 inventory slots though when it works.
Because I don't get paid to test things, I test things for viewers. I didn't test every possibilty prior to this particular video, however it was tested & shown on a live stream. Would you rather me just spread the info to people asking about it or do another video? Maybe you should say "Thank you for the video, but did you ever get a chance to test what happens to your belongings placed in the pet's inventory?" And I'd reply, "Thank you! I did & what happens is if the pet dies, you can collect items from the pet's inventory because they just drop, but if the pet disappears or glitches & dies, the belongings are lost forever so I recommend only using the pet inventory for backup or excess resources." Maybe use your thought box before trying to be rude to someone if you're too lazy to test something in the game yourself.
@@OriginalRyan if people werent to lazy to test things im game ypu wouldnt have a job on youtube. He wants to ge paid to play games amd post videos on youtube but leaves out such an obvious thing in which he had an answer for in his comments he really was just to lazy to include it.

putting chapters in your videos would be really useful so your viewers can skip to the parts of the video that is relevant to what they are looking for

Rip Lewis
Gone too soon...like most pets.

Yeah, hopefully they work because I'd like to keep those extra 10 inventory slots! 😆
All 3 of my pets seemed to have become lost. I can see their icons where they are I guess, but when I go to the location, I can't find any of them?
They're likely stuck. Have you gone to their respective per houses & tried recalling them basically to see if they respawn or come back?
@Original Ryan I never did figure out how to assign my pet house to my pet. My original pet hung around inside my house all the time and so I figured he would always stay there, but no unfortunately.
You have to have a pet house & just go click on it after taming a pet. After that, it should be assigned & you can name it.
maybe the increased gliding speed will help getting into the basket on the bike handles by the shed, because there is a good amount of the tough and fashion rocks in there :D
Dunno how because that seems to be more of an upward trajectory, but I'd have to check it out & see.
You can glide over there from the fence without the gnat pet
I would like to tame a gnat for my aphid so when I leave my base to do stuff I have 2 instead of 1 can you tame meaty gnats
You can absolutely do that, but you can only have 1 pet "attached" at any given time so you can only get the 10 slots, not 20 from multiple pets.
You use to be able to deposit things in their inventory (at home) while adventuring. Then you could "drop" them out of their inventory and when you got back everything would be on the floor. Is this still a thing?? Think it will be patched??
Hmm, I never tried it so I'm not sure to be honest.
@@OriginalRyan Well if you try it please let me know. Been busy with work so haven't been able to play. Plus no pets, yet, on this playthrough.
Will do!

Gnatcho Libre! Pretty sure Fatty Gnattys will also drop a ton of spoiled meat when you kill them. I love this potential extra storage for sure.
Think the fat boys drop 4 gnat meats & 4 spoiled. I'll have to double check because Gnatcho Libre eats a lot! 😆 Hopefully the +10 inventory works as intended!
We all know about you and that little backpack 🐰
😆
@@EveBrandy 😂🤣
Is it only the gnats that hold inventory?
Any pet!
@@OriginalRyan copy that. thank you.
Absolutely!
So you don't have to have the pet with you to get the slots just attuned so just attune it and lock it up?
That's how it's workin so far!
from how far away can you use pet inventory?
is it possible to trap your pet in your house and still use pet inventory ?
As far away as possible from what I've seen. Thry should've fixed it to where your pet stays at your base now as noted in the latest patch notes. I've not tested this since the patch, but plan on it today.
I think that when the pet dies you can go and access it’s inovatory when it’s dead. Mabye theirs a timer on it for like 7 days until it all disappears
I've never noticed any icon of the dead pet. Most of mine have just disappeared when I return to my base lol. I'm checking into some of the newer changes.
I think that’s the biggest problem with pets. It would make sense to get your stuff back when it dies but what happens when the pet glitches or disappears. It would be pretty frustrating
Agreed.
we found a nice glitch from the gnat pet. every time we killed a wild gnat by the oak tree, we got insane amounts on grub stuff.
Hmm lol. Nice!
We able to get meaty gnats and infected gnats as well or just gnats?
As far as I kniw, just plain ol gnats, but I've not tried either yet.
I'd test it my self but console still does havevthe pts 😭
Should be available now! It's been released within the last few minutes!
@@OriginalRyan haven't seen anything on the discord. Will have to check when I get back home
It was posted not long ago on the Grounded discord. Also, PTS patch notes came out. They announced it on Twitter as well.

Hopefully! They're still a bit wonky if you go too far, at least mine are. I'm assuming they die because when I get back they're just gone sometimes.
@@OriginalRyan Yeah they definitely still need a bit of tweaking. But I'm glad their more useful now than before.
when is the xbox pts coming back out ?
Should be today still from what I'm hearing!
I wish that if you got stronger that you'd be able to get bigger/better pets. Like a beefy gnat, ladybug, rolyroly poly, or scarab pet.
Woulda been nice!

How do you put the armor on the pet? We are on Xbox and can’t figure it out
You have to have the pet house & the pet "assigned" to that house. After you've done that & made the armor, you can equip it via the pet house.
@@OriginalRyan ah ok thanks a lot I appreciate that lol we tried to an hour haha, I was like damn it’s in the inventory, I dropped it he won’t pick it up lol

very well presented dude. consistent. liked!

@@OriginalRyan yes thanks!
The leaks ive seen on the dev build we gonna need all that extra space 😁
Where did u see this at? I've been trying to look it up since hearing the dev build got leaked but have had no luck finding any information
Must be the most tragic backstory for a Gnat ever 🥺
Edit: "Hang on to your friends' body parts for me, will ya?"
🤣
Dude I LOVE your house it's so cool looking!
Much appreciated! Took some time & had some renovations done too lol.
There is a gnat spawn near the mystery machine
There are a lot of gnat spawns. The flooded area is closest to my main base.
Thanks! This is great!
Absolutely!
And you kept yours alive! Better than you know who!
🤣 yep, guess I got a smart one that knows to fly over the water & not under it.
@@OriginalRyan 🤣🤣
bro built his house around a rolly polly and he chillin.
Technically I built my house first! He just happened to live there after the update & we got along really well so Reggie has become a HUGE part of our world & community!
So you can have as many pets as you want, but can only have one be active right?
Yep!
The gnat is the only viable option. The other pets can't follow you across water. So if you have a water-locked base, forget about it.
True.
Have the Nat legs always been that goofy? I love it hahaha
😆 the fireflies are the same. Their legs just dangle & flop around.
@@OriginalRyan I just noticed that and it cracks me up. Thanks for the content!
😆 absolutely!
I am more curious of your roly poly and ladybug 'pets' xD
Just happened that I built where Reggie, my roly poly, was trying to live lol.
Are we able to have multiple pets at a time?
Yes! BUT, you can only have one attached to you at a time.
The best part is that the gnats are flying food
😆 you can get a lot of gnat meat by dropping one spoiled meat slurry! Food for days!
Good to see them finally not totally useless
It's really useful if they can just not randomly die or glitch out. I'd literally have them for the available inventory space alone!
Gnat armor dlc incoming
😆 I could see that.
Can you tame a meaty gnat?
I've not tried, but I'm assuming no.
i like the lobby youve built
Thanks!
Nice video!
I love pets.
Thanks Matthijs!
Firing up vid, Hope you have a fantastic night out there💯
Same to you Hammer! Stay safe! 👊 🔨
I can imagine if the dev make mosquito 🦟 pets to just to troll us since there the most annoying bug in game. 😆

Happens when two different players experience different things. 🤷♂️
The only pet possible to keep alive is the gnat, so if you don't want to hear it buzzing about 24/7 then pets are still completely useless.
100%! Especially since they patched the ability to utilize the pet backpack without the pet near you. Useless.
