To unlock glob recipes in Grounded, specifically for Mighty Globs, you need to locate specific BURG.L Chips, return them to BURG.L, and then purchase the corresponding upgrades and blueprints from his terminal. These key items enable you to craft essential resources for upgrading your gear.
Unlocking the Mighty Glob Recipe
Mighty Globs are crucial for upgrading your weapons and armor to higher tiers in Grounded, significantly boosting their effectiveness. The recipe for crafting these powerful items is not available from the start; it must be unlocked through exploration and interaction with BURG.L.
- Locate the Black Anthill BURG.L Chip:
- The first step is to find the Black Anthill BURG.L Chip. This chip is situated within the challenging Black Ant Lab, an underground complex located on the western side of the yard.
- Tip: Be prepared for combat with various ant species, dust mites, and other hostile creatures as you navigate the lab.
- Deliver the Chip to BURG.L:
- Once you have secured the Black Anthill BURG.L Chip, return to the Oak Lab, where BURG.L resides. Interact with him to turn in the chip. This action makes new upgrades and recipes available in his shop terminal.
- Purchase the Advanced Smithing: Mighty Glob Upgrade:
- Access BURG.L's shop terminal. Here, you will find the "Advanced Smithing: Mighty Glob" recipe available for purchase using Raw Science. Once purchased, you will officially have the ability to craft Mighty Globs.
Crafting Mighty Globs: The Oven Requirement
Even after unlocking the Mighty Glob recipe, you won't be able to craft them immediately without the proper crafting station. Mighty Globs are crafted using the Oven.
- Locate the Haze BURG.L Chip:
- Deliver the Chip to BURG.L:
- Just like with the Black Anthill Chip, take the Haze BURG.L Chip back to BURG.L in the Oak Lab and turn it in.
- Purchase the Oven Blueprint:
- Access BURG.L's shop terminal again. The "Oven" blueprint will now be available for purchase with Raw Science.
- Build the Oven:
- After purchasing the blueprint, gather the necessary resources (such as Clay, Boiling Glands, and other materials) and construct the Oven at your base. With the Oven built and the Mighty Glob recipe unlocked, you can now craft Mighty Globs to enhance your gear.
