Grounded Tips

I'm not sure if heavy armor slows you down, but it does increase stamina costs. If you play as a tank, you need to carry a spare set of armor and mutations strictly for running.

It's better than leaf, that's about it. The stun resist can be nice though.

I don't remember if the backpack has an upgrade. The only ones I remember were health, stamina, max mutations, hunger/thirst drain, healing efficiency, and stack sizes for resources/consumables/arrows.

All you really need to carry is the sleek aphid slippers for movement

For weapons, I used 1. Spicy Coaltana 2. Club of the Mother Demon.

Spicy Coaltana is peak, but I think the club from all the Mix.Rs (Prod Whacker?) was better than the brrodmother club

#28 I already had the club, and I didn't want to do Mix.Rs.

Mix.Rs are so annoying tbh, I hated the JavaMatic

I gave up and turned health down to 0% after trying for half an hour.

For the JavaMatic.

It took me about 4 tries before I realized that i could wall off the choke points instead of protecting the cords

I used the black strategist armor for most of the game and never got any tier 3 armor. I really wanted the fire strategist armor, but I didn't want to spend 20 - 30 minutes cheesing a black widow fight.

Did you ever kill Shmector?

Yeah, pretty annoying fight, but it wasn't too difficult

I died three times :|

And then I clubbed him to death.

I didn't die, mainly because my build wouldn't allow that to happen, and also because I brought too many smoothies and bandages

Biggest annoyance in the game: Either any mite, or the fire worker ants.
