New Grounded mode - Playgrounds
The Grounded Playgrounds mode allows you to create, share, and play an endless amount of new content. Playgrounds has over 300 world props to use to build your own backyard, 400+ items like equippables, resources, and consumables, more than 100 harvestables, and all the creatures! Yes, that includes bosses!

New Map UI
We made some major adjustments to the Map UI. Not only can you clean up the clutter, you will also be able to see which SCA.B and Milk Molars you have collected so you can reference it with the ones you are missing on a Wiki page! Each icon category can now be toggled on and off for group visibility.
BURG.L Quests Revamp
Combat Overhaul
New Trinkets in Grounded
Recognizing that trinkets have typically been more of a mid-to-late-game feature, we’ve introduced a new set specifically designed for early gameplay. Each trinket corresponds to a classic RPG role—so whether you fancy yourself a tank or an archer, you’ll find a trinket tailored to your playstyle.

The “default” smoothie has been changed to help better communicate its purpose as a basic healing potion.
Dandelion Tufts
Dandelions no longer need to be equipped, and players no longer have to decide between equipping a tuft or a trinket. Instead, tufts are single-use items with no durability. To balance this change, tufts can be stacked, and dandelions yield more tufts when chopped down.
That being said, the “Fluffy Dandelion Tuft” trinket now has unlimited uses, enhancing its value and making it more of an interesting accessory choice.
Combo system overhauled:
