How to Craft a Torch

By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

This page offers a guide on how to craft a Torch in Grounded. Torches are important for being able to navigate during the nighttime. You’ll also need one for exploring caves. And they run out so you’ll have to continue making them!

Use the torch to go out exploring at night.

How to Unlock the Torch Recipe

The Torch recipe can be unlocked by analyzing Sap at the Resource Analyzer. Once the recipe’s been unlocked, you can make them by hand! To equip a Torch, put it on your hotbar - you can hold a torch whilst also holding a tool or weapon, meaning you can go out in the evenings!

Analyze Sap to unlock the Torch recipe.

How to Get Sprigs

Sprigs are a medium-sized two leafed plant found in abundance in the yard. You can grab them from the ground without the use of any tool.

Sprigs are a very common resource.

How to Get Sap

Sap is a sticky yellow goo that can be found all over branches, particularly around Oak Hill. You can also find lots of sap on the shelves in the Oak Lab.

Once you possess a hammer you can also obtain them from large globs of Sap. And later on, you could even make a Sap Catcher to collect sap from the comfort of your base!

Sap can be found in the Oak Lab as well as out in the open.

How to Craft Crude Rope

Crude Ropes can be crafted by hand using x3 Plant Fiber per Crude Rope. Plant Fibers can be obtained from picking small, low-lying plants which can be found all over the ground. And before you can make Crude Rope, you’ll need to first analyze Plant Fiber at the Resource Analyzer to unlock the recipe.

How to Get Dry Grass Chunks

Dry Grass Chunks can be obtained through chopping Dry Grass blades. To chop down the Dry Grass, you’ll need an axe - head over to our guide on How to craft a Pebblet Axe for more information.

Later, you can also build a Jerky Rack and dry out Plant Fiber to make Dry Grass Chunks.
