@@Altiar253 They are really strong in the early stages of the game. However, you are correct that they become much easier as you gain access to better weapons!
I'll probably have to look into this on the next new-ish file for Jerky stockpiling, using the grown Toadstool method. Roasts are essentially invalidated by Meals, but Jerky is always valuable.
@@phinqsif you get up on the light post around the brim where it's super bright at night then they basically come right to you. super easy to farm them I have a zip going over there and it's superb food source
There are 2 different ways to reroll trinkets, post 1.4. 1- Using the sausager, save your game beforehand. Then start making as many trinkets as you want. Sleep to speed up the process. Check the abilities on the trinkets. If you're not happy, load the manual save and retry. The abilities are chosen the moment you start making the trinket. Edit: The trick with the sausager only works starting at NG+3, if you have infected all 3 ant queens. Otherwise, it can work earlier, but with trinkets with 2 effects (NG+2) or 1 effect (NG+1) 2- When fighting enemies that have a high chance to drop cones, kill a few of them close to each other but don't loot. When they are all dead, equip a trinket with Loot Luck and activate Dissection Expert, save the game, THEN loot. If you don't get cones, then keep playing and try again later. If you do get cones, look at the abilities, if you're not happy reload, then loot them again. The items you get are picked when enemies spawn, but the abilities on the trinkets they drop are picked the moment you loot them. Edit: this last trick can be used as early as NG+1, with Black Ox Beetles dropping cones with a 5% chance (higher with Loot luck from Mut, trinket and/or stuffed insects). There are 3 easy locations where you can find at least 2 Beetles close to each other for this trick, being: South of Moldorc Castle, under the rocks (2 of them), North of Moldorc castle, on the northern side of the wooden fence (2 of them), and in the undershed, near the entrance (3 of them)
@@phinqs if you ever get back into the game and need a bit of advice about new stuff, don't be shy, you can ask me. I started the game late, as I play it on PS5 and it just came out a few months ago on that console, but I do have a tendency to find the best ways to "abuse" games using the core mechanics (not bugs or glitches) to power through them. I also found some tricks that no other youtuber has covered in their videos, it's just a pain to try and explain it without showing a bit of gameplay or screenshots, and most youtubers have now left Grounded to head towards other games.
I’ve unintentionally built something like this for my base, only it’s apparently for Red Ants. I put spike strips for added defense around my base, which is not far from the Red Ant hill. Every time I cook meat, or put meat on the jerky rack, within minutes I have DOZENS of dead ants surrounding my base 🤣
i hope devs don't patch this up and remove this, because it's gonna be an unintentional feature of the game, adds a realism to the game, and it kinda make sense.
I don't think it is intended but it definitely makes sense in the grand scheme of the game. Also, this has not been patched in well over a year so I doubt they will patch it now!
Pretty sure it is intentional. Weevils are attracted to mushrooms (mushrooms, toadstools, chunk and mushroom slurries), aphids are attracted to plant slurries, and ants to spoiled meat slurries, as well as any food that is cooked and left on your spit.
@@phinqs sure is!! It helps a lot to have food everyday without having to run around searching for the meat critters. Players have made aphids and weevils farms
Way easier method .Use the shrink ray put literally just one grass wall piece over the hole on the side and jump in spread the shrooms around and jump out. Takes like 5 shrooms wait two days boom it’s filled with 20 weevils easy.
Thank you for sharing! I am not familiar with your method but if it works then that is great! There are many options for gathering food. This is just a method that I found to be the most useful for me!
I have played it. I think that if you only focussed on the absolute necessities then you could complete it in 30 hours. However, I would say that the general player will spend at least double that amount of time enjoying the game at their own pace. I think I played it for around 100 hours on my first playthrough alone.
If you play on "Mild" difficulty and streamline the story, maybe 30hrs but I'd say more like 45hrs. If youre gonna play on the "normal" difficulty, you will have to prepare yourself much more and gathering resources will be alot harder. Id say it's more like 60-70hrs that way. Either way, there is a ton of stuff to collect, make, places to explore, bases to build etc., which can easily turn into 100hrs+ of in game time.
@@mingywantwingy1379 I agree! Personally, I found Grounded to be more time consuming when compared to other games in the genre. However, the game is a lot of fun so I would definitely recommend it to others.
Nah I would rather keep them alive so I can instantly cook them with the coaltana, killing them would mean I’d have to cook it with the camp fire but it’s faster to and easier to use coaltana to cook it, bad suggestion unless ur early/midgame.
@@D0qy actually, if u want u can use spicy weapon, u will get the cooked one when u killed the weevil, early game i think this kind very good for the starter
This seems all good but how would you keep the ants from falling in and killing the ants is there a way to filter the ants out so they won't fall in with them
The enemy AI can be a little unpredictable at times. I would recommend leaving it for a couple of nights. If the trap has not managed to catch any bugs in that time, knock it down and rebuild it in a slightly different position. I have found that the ground terrain can make the trap a little awkward at times for the bugs.
It is more time consuming to actively hunt food. The more time you spend hunting the less time you can spend progressing! However, if you like the active hunting method that is entirely fine too! It is all about finding a method that works for you.
I do not think think this accessory was in the game when I made this video. However, it is good to know that a few easy food options are now available!
I think so. There is definitely a huge amount of hours content in this game. Additionally, if you enjoy survival-craft games, this is definitely one of the better options available at the moment.
You can find clay close to water deposits. There is an area close to the sprinklers, South-East of spawn, that has quite a few deposits. You can unlock the clover roof by buying the multi-story recipe from BURG.L. Hope this helps!
I think that you would have to adapt it. You could create a raised platform in the middle of the box with different types of slurries. This would attract the corresponding bug (aphid/weevil). Let me know how you get on!
Aphids are attracted to plant slurries. Just make a box in the middle, 0.5x0.5x0.5, put a few slurries in there and close it up. Aphids will be attracted, but cant eat it, and be trapped in there. Also if you are farming the trinket, make sure to use Rascal Rogue mut and sticky fingers trinket, and kill them with only your fists, to maximize the chances to steal from them
i did this shyt but it doesnt work. instead of climbing and falling in the pit .them just running back and forth a line of them (or up and down the big tree). and never run away, so i still get what i want but not the way it intended to.
This technique can be temperamental depending on the gradient of the ground. I would recommend rebuilding it in a different location. I’m sure that it will work correctly if you do!
All over and INSIDE it... everytime I sleep, I wake up to 2-3 weevils stuck under my garden patches and have to temporarily relocate them to free the weevils (and kill them)
@@phinqs indeed!! I have since relocated my mushroom farm (and actual base) because of the incessant weevil noises. My ADHD wouldn't let me ignore the cries and had to move my whole garden patches everytime I slept 😅
It can be funny sometimes. I would try to rebuild it on slightly different terrain and make sure the roof pieces are snapping to the top of the wall. Hope this helps!
@@Remmeister2000 I built my base close to the spawn location but that probably does not help you much. Generally, anywhere where you can find naturally spawning mushrooms is a good place for the trap - in my experience anyway!
@@phinqs Oh good, there is a couple areas nearby I can get mushrooms and I know where to go to get more. I'm just irritated that the Weevils get stuck. Then once I do get a good number of them in my trap; I come back one day and they are all gone. Idk where they are all disappearing to
You would have to use plant slurry, instead of mushrooms, to attract aphids. The trap will work the same but you will either have to platform to keep the plant slurry out of reach, or refresh the plant slurry when it runs out. I hope this helps!
Good question. The weevils do eventually eat the mushrooms but it takes a lot longer than you would expect. Typically, I drop around 10 mushrooms at the start then check up on it whenever I visit to collect the food. After several days, there is normally still mushrooms in the trap. Thanks for the comment!
I tried this.. no idea how or what I’ve done wrong but they’re not using it and I accidentally befriended one instead so now I have three pets to look after. 🤦🏻
If you are using plant slurry or mushroom slurry, and they manage to reach it, you will befriend a pet. This is why I recommend using mushrooms instead of mushroom slurry. Also, it helps to build it in an area that already has a lot of roaming weevils! I hope this helps!
@@phinqs thanks so much! Eventually popped a couple of half grass plank floors over the whole unit to create a roof with smaller whole in the centre to fall into, and it worked so much more effectively. Previously they were curious, walking up to the edge and backing off. I finally made the connection with the slurry, but not before I collected a menagerie of pets, and since it’s my first run through I’m playing mild so I guess I’m stuck with them. Thanks again for the tips!
@@littleladylost I like the idea of adding a roof to this design. I am glad you managed to get it working and I am sure you and your army of pets will take over the garden in no time!
@phinqs if you cook food and never take it off the rack it stays good forever so make as many cook racks as you think you need make for great early game fun prep
Or hear me out since I play solo and constantly on the move, get the coaltana and you’ll have cooked food everywhere you go, aslong as you can spot a aphid or weevil to kill
The Spicy Coaltana is great for this. However, it is only really accessible quite late in the game. This method can be employed at any stage of the game, which is why it is my favourite method. Thanks for your comment!
I literally have a whole group of 100 people that come on literally I made a whole entire sale of the stuff and I got so much credit from them it’s a currency for what my friends have
The ants kill them for you and can't escape. I would just check it every couple of days to make sure it has not been destroyed. It is much better than hunting them manually, which is the alternative.

48 X Clover Leaf
24 X Sap

@@cadeorade1948doesn’t matter. As long as weevils can get in, and can’t get out, you’re fine.

You are absolutely right. You can build it around a mushroom to have the same effect. However, I did not know this at the time of making this video.

@phinqs if you cook food and never take it off the rack it stays good forever so make as many cook racks as you think you need make for great early game fun prep
@@budcats1 I didn't know that. Thank you for sharing!
Just make it outa grass
Yes, this will work! The only difference is that ants will destroy it quicker when they are attacking the weavels inside!
Ty ok
I am happy to help!
Or hear me out since I play solo and constantly on the move, get the coaltana and you’ll have cooked food everywhere you go, aslong as you can spot a aphid or weevil to kill
The Spicy Coaltana is great for this. However, it is only really accessible quite late in the game. This method can be employed at any stage of the game, which is why it is my favourite method. Thanks for your comment!

I literally have a whole group of 100 people that come on literally I made a whole entire sale of the stuff and I got so much credit from them it’s a currency for what my friends have
I'm really glad you enjoy the build. I would do the exact same and claim all the credit, haha! Thanks for your comment.
Until ants come by for your bait or the bugs trapped inside. Not a good design, sadly :(
The ants kill them for you and can't escape. I would just check it every couple of days to make sure it has not been destroyed. It is much better than hunting them manually, which is the alternative.
