Stay grounded
Grounded finally hit 1.0 last month, after more than two years of early access via Xbox Game Preview. Critics spoke favorably of the game when it came out in full, but that hasn’t stopped developer Obsidian from continuing to work on the title.
The team has already released Grounded’s 1.01 patch and it is full of major game changes and bug fixes. Here’s everything included in this week’s update:
Grounded 1.01 Patch Notes
CHANGES:
- The PEEP a Creature action is now “E” on the keyboard and “Right Bumper” on Controller. This is to ensure that the “Set Waypoint” control is not the same key as PEEPing a creature in PEEP mode.
- Weapon and gear stats now show smithing improvements separately from the base values, in a separate color.
- Added unique symbols to the different labs in the garden for easier identification.
- Custom game settings that cannot be changed mid-game have icons next to them to indicate this status when launching a custom game.
- Arrows now show attack stats when selected in the inventory screen.
- Crow adjusted audio.
- Exploding Strange Spores in the Haze now have an audio signal when preparing to explode.
- Creatures randomly return to their home locations during the player’s rest.
- Hot Deposit actions now have audio.
- Flowering dandelions drop pollen when cut.
