By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

This page offers a guide on how to make a Repair Tool in Grounded. Repair Tools can be used to repair broken structures, and can also repair MIX.Rs if you’ve previously failed to protect them.

How to Unlock the Repair Tool Recipe

In order to unlock the recipe for the Repair Tool, you’ll need to first analyze "Clay" iconClay at the Resource Analyzer. Clay can be obtained by smashing up the red boulders found in and around puddles and ponds using an "Acorn Shovel" iconAcorn Shovel.

How to Make Crude Ropes

"Crude Rope" iconCrude Ropes can be crafted by hand using x3 "Plant Fiber" iconPlant 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 Red Ant Parts

"Red Ant Part" iconRed Ant Parts are obtained through killing "Red Worker Ant" iconRed Worker Ants and "Red Soldier Ant" iconRed Soldier Ants. They can be found around the "Mysterious Machine" iconMysterious Machine and around Ant Totem Cave. They aren’t hostile until you hit them, but be careful of when you do engage them - sometimes there’ll be more than one hanging around and that’s when you might run into some trouble.

Fight off some red ants to obtain Red Ant Parts.

How to Get Clay

Clay is obtained from digging up red boulders found in and around puddles and ponds. You’ll need an acorn shovel to dig up clay - head over to our guide on How to Make an Acorn Shovel for more information.

Clay can be shovelled from red rocks under water and around it.
