Grounded is Obsidian Entertainment’s new survival game, which went into early access on July 28, 2020. Players can now explore the world by themselves or with a group of friends online. There are dozens of different resources to collect, and recipes to craft with them. In this guide, we gathered a list of all the Grounded tools recipes and put them together in one handy crafting guide.
You may also want to check out our Grounded base building recipes to get a better idea of what you can craft. There are different tiers of items, and you can find more craftable recipes through item analysis and collecting resources out in the wild. While there are many items in the game, it’s not exactly clear how to craft them all the time. For that reason, we thought you might find this guide handy.

Some of these items require higher tier resources, which you may not have uncovered yet. If that’s the case, there’s no need to worry.

The more distance you travel, the better stuff you will find.
