Where to find Acorns in Grounded 2

Acorns spawn near oak trees inGrounded 2. One of the closest you’ll find early on is directly south of the Snackbar in the Entrance, bout you can also spot them in the game’s northern regions. It’ll appear as a large tree with orange and brown leaves, allowing you to differentiate it from pine trees.

As you get closer to an oak tree, you’ll begin spotting large acorns on the ground. You’ll need to unlock the Omni-Tool to break them, rewarding you with an acorn top, shells, and bits to use in building and crafting.

How to use Acorn top and shells in Grounded 2

Of the three items you may obtain from acorns, their tops and shells are crucial for building valuable early-game structures like garden patches, smoothie stations, and water containers. You’ll also need multiples of both for acorn gear, including the Sturdy Shell trinket, Acorn Plate, and Acorn Greaves.

Here are some additional examples of workstations and items that use acorn tops and shells:

Acorn tops and shells are also usable in the Resource Analyzer, allowing you to learn new recipes from the get-go and gain some science points.

How to use Acorn bits in Grounded 2

Acorn bits are much less versatile than their top and shell counterparts. Rather than using them to build, they’re a requirement for cooking certain foods. Below is a list of recipes that include Acorn Bits:

If you enjoy cooking inGrounded 2and want your inventory full of helpful dishes, keep some Acorn Bits on hand so you’ll be ready for your next session. Otherwise, your main priority will likely be farming for acorn tops and shells due to their vast array of uses both in the early and mid game.
