The Grounded team is excited to bring Update 1.2.0 to the community this week. Rightfully titled The Super Duper update, this massive update brings with it many quality-of-life changes, more than a hundred new items to craft, a brand new Base Coziness feature, and wasps, a new terrifying creature to fight. But first, let's dive into the Super Duper… an item duplication machine!

THE SUPER DUPER UPDATE
Item Duplication - The Super Duper is a new piece of equipment installed in the Oak Lab. Players will find the Super Duper machine the next time they visit BURG.L! This machine will allow players to duplicate specific equipment and items using Raw Science. To use the Super Duper, players must locate Duper Discs throughout the yard. The first disc unlocks operation of the machine, while the other discs grant the player the ability to unlock duping of higher-tier equipment and items. It can even duplicate trinkets, unique items, and upgrade stones. Making this even more helpful for players, any item duplicated will include all of the item's Smithing upgrades, saving a lot of time for when you and your friends need to gear up quickly and get back to adventuring.Check out the Super Duper update video as you get real cozy at your base and meet the new neighbors in the backyard. See what the buzz is about in Update 1.2.0 as we share all the handy features, new creatures, and other significant improvements. It's the update that will bring the sting of the hive.


NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Coziness At Its Best - Bases are now more than just protection against giant insects that want to eat you. It's time to chillax at your base and get cozy with the new Base Coziness system. Buildings, furniture, and decorations now add to the coziness level of your base. If you are around enough cozy buildings, your level of coziness will rise. There are five total levels of coziness. For each new level of coziness you reach, you can unlock new decorative building recipes, a mutation that's useful for base building, and new emotes. Being in a cozy location will also give you status effects: decrease hunger, decrease thirst drain, and slow healing.
