How to Build a Lean-To: To Lean To

Learn how to unlock and craft the Lean-To in Grounded! Gather clover leaves and sprigs to build your first shelter and sleep through the night.

Alright, so you're looking to build your first real structure in Grounded, huh? The Lean-To is a super important early-game item because it lets you sleep through the night, which is a lifesaver when those creepy crawlies come out after dark. Plus, it's your first step towards setting up a proper base. Let's get you sorted!

How to Unlock the Lean-To Recipe:

First things first, you need the recipe. To get it, you'll need to analyze a Clover Leaf at the Resource Analyzer. Once you've done that, you can craft the Lean-To yourself. You can place it down anywhere you like, and even move it later if you decide to relocate your camp. Think about where you want your main base to be eventually, and try to place it there!

What You'll Need to Craft a Lean-To:

Here's the shopping list for your new shelter:

How to Get Clover Leaves:

You'll find Clover Leaves by chopping down Clover plants. These are pretty common all over the yard. Make sure you have a Pebblet Axe or something better to chop them. Each clover plant will give you about 2-3 leaves, so you should be able to gather plenty without too much trouble.

How to Get Sprigs:

Sprigs are those little, two-leafed plants you see sticking out of the ground. They're also super common, especially in grassy areas. The best part? You don't need any tools to pick these up – just walk over them and grab 'em!

Once you've got all your materials, just open up your crafting menu, select the Lean-To, and place it down. Boom! You've got your first shelter. Now you can finally get some rest without worrying about what's lurking in the dark.
