Grounded’s latest update focuses on bug fixes

Obsidian Entertainment has delivered a new update for its survival game Grounded that aims to address a few of the community’s top issues.

According to the patch notes, bases built on certain objects will no longer collapse after being modified, melee and ranged attacks won’t fail to register, and backpacks that fall through the world will now resync to the correct position. Additionally, bees now drop less pollen, stuffed insects can be placed on furniture, and Hoop’s hair will behave correctly in Photo Mode.
