Crafting and surviving form a key gameplay aspect of Grounded 2. Building Shelters, new tools, and workstations early on can make for a smoother experience as you move ahead and gain the ability to scavenge for rarer materials and better loot. An item of importance early on is Clay, required in almost all of the Shelter crafting recipes, from Foundations to Cookery.
