How to get Grass Seeds in Grounded 2

Grass Seeds in Grounded 2 are important items that help you transform your Omni-Tool into a Shovel. The game gives you the task to get this crucial upgrade very early on, and thankfully, the location of Grass Seeds is not far away. As experience from other survival-craft games leads one to believe, this should drop from just chopping grass.

This action-adventure game will take you through several obstacles that you need to overcome and gather necessary resources. Grass Seeds in Grounded 2 are not the most uncommon items, but crucial for the early game. Although looking for this item can be a bit tedious at first, you will be able to spot it easily once you know where it drops.

This article will highlight the best way to get Grass Seeds in Grounded 2.

Grass Seeds specifically drop from grass that has florets (pointy yellow grass flowers) on top.

There are not many early cases where you need this resource in Grounded 2, so if you're looking this up, you were likely led here by the Omni-Shovel upgrade.

So to start with, exit the cave system from back where you came, and then return into the greenery. Look for the blades of grass that have spiky flowers on top, which are relatively easy to spot even at night. You should search for green grass clusters rather than dry grass. After you've found one, identify its stem, and then get to chopping.

Now, here's the tricky part: after you chop the grass with the Omni-Axe, you'll need to physically pick up the Grass Seed - so make sure it doesn't roll away into the shrubbery before you spot it. Multiple Seeds can drop from cutting down one grass stem.

Even though the Grass Seed looks massive, it doesn't weigh much in Grounded 2. You just need one for the upgrade in the early game, so nab it and run back to the Ranger Station to turn it in.

There's not much use for Grass Seeds we have found in Grounded 2 so far - neither in crafting gear, nor in building furniture, or construction material. The only use right now seems to be the first tier of Omni-Shovel, but that's probably because the game is still in Early Access.

That being said, the Omni-Shovel is an indispensable tool to progress - you can dig up all sorts of stuff with it, starting with (but not limited to) grubs and larvae.

Using Grass Seeds in Grounded 2

Grass Seeds in Grounded 2 have limited functionality for now and are most useful in getting the Shovel upgrade for the Omni-Tool. For the upgrade, you will need to gather the following items at the Terminal:

1 Grass Seed
2 Sprig
350 Science

Once you use these resources, you will be able to obtain the first level for the Omni-Tool. Now the shovel can be used to dig around, move dirt, and find Grubs to hunt. By upgrading the tool further, you can unlock higher tiers to dig up more difficult elements on the map.

What can Grass Seeds in Grounded 2 make?

Apart from the Omni-Tool upgrade, Grass Seeds in Grounded 2 can be used to create Green Machine drinks. It is a niche resource that has a specific function in the game and can help you solve problems in the game that require higher-tier digging power and other tool variations.

You can find the recipes for the items and gather the resources as required in the game. This makes it easier to prioritize activities and makes it possible for you to make the most out of limited materials.

Grass Seeds in Grounded 2 might receive more functionality in later updates to expand their use. Fans can keep an eye out for the official Grounded 2 website for future patches. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more updates, guides, and news.
