In Grounded, Field Stations are little, geometrically shaped huts dispersed throughout the yard. They're fairly easy to spot because they don't fit in with the organic biomes they inhabit. They are futuristic-looking and display small satellite dishes. Field Stations contain three key items: a Resource Analyzer, an ASL Terminal, and a Resource Surveyor. If a player hasn’t set a spawn point in a bed, the closest respawn hub will be near the closest discovered Field Station.
There are a total of 14 Field Stations throughout the game, which are distributed in their distinct locations. Each location in the game corresponds to various landmarks or the general biome. In this guide, all 14 of the Field Stations are in 9 separate biomes; the Grasslands, the Flower Bed, Haze, Hedge, Koi Pond, Picnic Table, Sandbox, Trash Heap, and Woodpile. Before initiating this journey, players may want to have a general idea of where they want to start and the route to the finish. Moreover, zip-zagging around the yard to acquire various Field Stations can take up much more time and complicate the game's flow.
It is also important to note that the Resource Surveyor and the ASL Terminal will be left unpowered until the player ventures and finishes both the Oak Lab and the Hedge Lab accordingly. The first Field Station players will find is the "Starting Field Station," which is covered in the tutorial portion of the game. Keep the appearance in mind because every Field Station looks virtually the same.
