Grounded

Grounded checklist

A short Grounded checklist. Use it before, during, and after a session on backyard biomes, burrows, and MIX.R events.

Before you queue

Confirm keybinds, audio, and a single goal. Grounded feels worse when you invent the plan in the loading screen.

Pack for MIX.R, not for every possible fight. Extra slots are for the thing you came to take.

During the run

At the first contact, decide: take burrows or leave. Mid-fight indecision is how kits disappear.

Keep smoothies on a timer. If the timer dies, the run is over even if the bag looks good.

After you extract

Unload, repair, and write one sentence. Grounded notes beat memory after a long night.

Do not immediately requeue angry. Obsidian Entertainment games reward the next calm loop, not the revenge queue.

When you finish this checklist, you can also explore these notes.
