Struggling to find grass seeds in Grounded 2? You’re not alone! These tiny but crucial items are key to unlocking the shovel attachment for your Omni-Tool — which is essential for digging up clay, grubs, and other valuable resources. But unlike sticks or pebbles, grass seeds require a bit of searching and a sharp eye. Here’s how to find them fast and upgrade your gear without wasting time.
🛠️ Why You Need Grass Seeds
Grass seeds aren’t just decorative — they’re the gateway to digging. You’ll need them to craft the Omni-Tool’s shovel mod, which unlocks digging abilities. With this, you can collect:
- Clay chunks
- Grub larvae
- Buried materials
Without the seeds, your survival tools will stay stuck in the basics — so finding them early is a smart move.
đź“Ť Best Locations: Where Grass Seeds Grow
You won’t find grass seeds lying around on the ground. The secret? Look up!
Grass seeds grow on tall grass flowers — long stalks that shoot upward from healthy grass patches.
🔎 Top spots to check:
- East of the Snackbar
- North of the Snackbar
🌿 These areas have vibrant green grass, which is where the grass flowers bloom.
⚠️ Avoid the southern side of the map — it’s mostly filled with dead, brown grass, which never produces seeds.
🌼 How to Spot Grass Flowers Easily
Keep your camera tilted upward and scan for thin flower stalks with small blooms on top. Once you’re close, a small interaction prompt will pop up identifying them. But once you’ve seen them a few times, you’ll recognize the visual cue faster than the prompt.
🪓 How to Harvest Grass Seeds (No Upgrades Needed!)
Once you’ve found a flower stalk:
- Equip your Omni-Tool.
- Use the axe function to chop the stalk.
- The flower will fall, dropping 1–2 grass seeds.
✅ No upgraded axe required – even the basic axe can chop down grass flowers.
🧺 Pro Tip: Grass seeds don’t rot or spoil, so stockpile them when you can!
❌ What Not to Do
- Don’t waste time chopping dry, brown grass. These don’t yield anything useful.
- Don’t search on the ground only. Seeds only grow up high, not underfoot.
Final Tip đź’ˇ
Want to speed things up? Bring a few spare tools and do a seed-gathering run near the east or north grass patches. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re crafting upgrades in bulk.
