Get Weed Stems in Grounded: Chop Dandelions!

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're looking to snag some Weed Stems in Grounded? Smart move! These are super useful, kind of like Grass Planks but for slightly tougher builds. Think of them as the next step up.

The main way to get Weed Stems is by chopping down actual Weeds. Now, there are a few types of weeds in the yard:

Dandelion (Tier I): This is your starting point. Perfect for beginners!
Husky Weeds (Tier II): You'll need a stronger axe for these.
Bur Weeds (Tier III): Definitely for later in the game.

So, for now, focus on the Dandelions. They're everywhere! Just look up for those fluffy white seed heads, or keep an eye out for their distinctive leaves. Chop the main stem, and boom – Weed Stems!

Heads up: When you pick up Weed Stems, you'll have to carry them on your shoulder. This means you can't use any other tools until you drop them or use them up. You can carry up to 5 at a time, so plan accordingly!

Storing Your Hard-Earned Stems

Here's a bit of a curveball: you can't just toss Weed Stems into regular storage chests. Nope, they'll despawn if you leave them lying around on the ground. To keep your stash safe, you'll need to craft a Stem Pallet. This handy item can hold up to 21 Weed Stems, which is way better for base building.

To get the recipe for the Stem Pallet, you'll need to analyze a Dry Grass Chunk using the Resource Analyzer. It's a bit of a process, but totally worth it!

Building Your Stem Pallet

Here's what you'll need to build a Stem Pallet:

Icon	Material	Quantity
	Dry Grass Chunk	x3
	Crude Rope	x 2
	Pebblet	x2
	Sprig	x4

How to Get Sprigs

Sprigs are super common. You'll see these small, two-leafed plants scattered all over the yard. Just walk up and grab them – no tools required!

How to Get Dry Grass Chunks

Look for dead grass, the stuff that's golden in color. Chop it down with your axe, and you'll get Dry Grass Chunks. They're pretty easy to find throughout the yard.

How to Get Pebblets

These are just small pebbles you can pick up off the ground. Super common! If you need more, you can also get them by smashing bigger rocks with a hammer.

How to Make Crude Rope

To craft Crude Rope, you'll need Plant Fiber. You get Plant Fiber by picking those small, low-lying plants you see everywhere. Once you have enough Plant Fiber, you'll need to analyze it at the Resource Analyzer to unlock the Crude Rope recipe. Then, you can craft them by hand: 3 Plant Fibers make 1 Crude Rope.
