What are the best item set bonuses in Grounded 2?
There's no such thing as best, given that each bonus will directly affect your unique playstyle. However,a few are worth looking into on a general basis. A good example is Aphid Slippers; they'll allow your character to run faster, which is always welcome, since you'll be doing a lot of running about (at times, away from Bugs).

Another great example is the Gas Mask. Nothing like being able to withstand toxic fumes, and go about your business without a care in the world. Of course, crafting it will take some time and effort, but it will be worth it in the end. That said, craft items that suit your need, and not based on how they look. Bonuses are powerful things that will help your character progress more easily.
