Grounded introduces players to an action-packed survival adventure where they shrink to the size of ants and navigate the challenges of their own backyard transformed into a vast world teeming with insects like ants, bees, spiders, and more.
Encountering Red Ants is a common occurrence in Grounded, as these neutral creatures roam in search of food and prey. Red Worker Ants, found in Red Ant Caves, provide a crucial resource known as Red Ant Eggs, utilized in crafting explosives like the Bratburst. To acquire these eggs, players must delve deep into the Red Ant Caves.
Locating Red Ant Caves
Red Ant Caves are essentially subterranean habitats housing colonies of Red Worker Ants and valuable resources such as marble and quartzite. These caves, situated in the northwest region of the backyard near the intersection of Central Grasslands and the Haze, are home to Red Ant Eggs and various chambers including the main halls, egg chambers, and treasure chambers.
The treasure chamber deep within the Red Ant Caves conceals prized possessions like a BURG.L Chip, an Ice Cap Mint, and Sturdy Quartzite. Besides these, explorers can stumble upon additional items within the caves, including:
- Rotten Bee Armor pieces (Face Mask, Shin Guards, Shoulder Pads)
- Brittle Quartzite Shards
- Sturdy Quartzite Shards
- Brittle Marble Shards
- Mint Shards
- Pebblets
- Slime Mold Stalks
- Fungal Growths
Crafting Red Ant Armor
The Red Ant Armor, comprising the Red Ant Helmet, Red Ant Arm Guards, and Red Ant Knee Guards, is fashioned from red ant components. Players can unlock the crafting recipe for these armor pieces by inspecting Red Ant Parts and achieving Brainpower Level 2. Detailed crafting instructions for each piece are outlined in the game.
