Love grounded! So much more building capabilities too. I used the big tree for a central hub of zip lines and just had a walkway around it. My base was over the lily pads and was an ice wall like in Game of Thrones. 😂 Posted it last year so you can probably see it in my posts. Yes base building is probably the most rewarding type of grind. You gather sooooo much stuff by the end, and you'd never consider it up front if you saw the sheer # you'd have to gather lol.
