Grounded: Quickstart for new players | Getting the Insect Axe

Grounded is releasing to version 1.0 on September 27th. Here is a quickstart guide for new players to get you started for its full release. The first order of business: get the upgraded Insect Axe. I played Grounded a few times back when it first came out. After 2 years of early access, they're finally releasing the full version! Today's video will be an early tour and guide for new players. One of the first big goals when you get started with this game is the Insect Axe as it allows you to chop down weeds which are used to build all the important things in your base. If you take my advice by changing the default settings when creating a new game, keep in mind that this may disable getting any achievements. This video is also helpful for those having trouble with lady bugs and bombadier beetles. Stay tuned for the end of the video for a neat trick! 0:00 Introduction to Grounded 1:16 Getting Started with a New Game 2:35 Gathering Food and Water 3:13 Details about the Insect Axe 3:38 Spider Webs into Silk Rope 4:05 Preparing for Lady Bug Combat 4:46 Crafting a Weevil Shield 5:36 Melee Weapons 5:52 Lady Bug Combat - Shield and Dagger 7:58 Lady Bug Combat - Two Handed Parry 8:45 Preparing for Bombadier Beetle 9:27 Building a Red Ant Club 9:51 Bombadier Beetle Combat - Two Handed Melee 11:00 Bombadier Beetle Combat - Ranged Archery 12:20 What the Insect Axe unlocks 12:55 What's next?
