If you want the ladybug buggy in Grounded 2, you need to swipe a ladybug egg first. And do a bunch of other things before that, since you need to unlock and craft a special nest where the ladybug egg can incubate. All of this requires materials from the Garden region, so if you’re just starting out in Grounded 2, you won’t be getting your hands on the third buggy type anytime soon.
Below, we explain where to find a ladybug egg in Grounded 2 so you can get a ladybug buggy.
Where to find a ladybug egg in Grounded 2
Ladybug eggs pop up in the chard patch (the spot with the big blue-y purple-y leafy vegetables), which is just east of the hammer point of interest. Where in the patch they spawn seems to be random. Some players have had to climb the webs to reach higher platforms, though we were lucky and found several at nearly ground-level. We recommend bringing your ant buggy instead of the spider buggy, even if you do have to climb webs. The ant carries items, which makes returning the egg to wherever you’ve built your ladybug nest much easier, even if walking across webs is slower with it.
However, you need to complete some other steps before grabbing the egg.
How to get the ladybug nest blueprint and hatch the ladybug egg in Grounded 2
You need a ladybug nest before you can do anything with that egg, and unlocking the blueprint takes a bit of exploration. It’s tied to a disk you find in a secret Ominent candy factory, a location more dangerous than the name might suggest. Before you set out, we recommend you either equip gear that slows sizzle buildup or make a mintito smoothie if you want to take your time in the factory. (You need to acquire and analyze an ice splinter from the ice cream cart to unlock that recipe.)
The candy factory entrance is under the Fairy House point of interest, in the northeast corner of the Veggie Garden map. You can reach this area in a couple of ways. One is by hopping up there from the chard patch, which is much faster if you use the spider buggy. Alternatively, you can follow the hose near the hammer onto the potting bench, then jump down from there.
Either way, make sure you’re ready for a fight or a quick dash once you get there. The area looks tranquil, but there’s a wolf spider patrolling in front of the fairy house. Dash inside the house, and climb down the ladder to enter the facility. You’ll find a dead Ominent worker in the hallway, which is bad for them but good for you, since they have a mintito smoothie you can swipe. This single smoothie is enough for a quick trip to the facility, but if you want to explore further, you’ll want a second one on-hand.
Anyway, a rust beetle is guarding the way into the factory furnace. Its primary attack is spitting juice that builds up your tang meter, which reduces damage resistance when full, and occasionally lunging at you. If you’ve got a two-handed club (which you should), you can just bash it with charged attacks to end this fight quickly. Bonus points if you hit its rear end (the bug’s weak point).
Drink your smoothie once the bug is squashed, head inside the furnace, and walk to the other end of the room. Turn around, and you’ll see a short ladder leading to a conveyor belt. Climb that, and follow the belt into another room. On the left is a door into another (sizzle-free) research room.
Grab the disk from the desk at the room’s entrance, and pop it in the research terminal at the other end of the room to unlock the ladybug nest blueprint.
To build the ladybug nest, you need:
- Lint rope (process lint clumps on the spinning wheel)
- Weed stems (the process of obtaining these is the same as it is other parts of the park)
- Chrysalis leather (hang chrysalis hide on the drying rack, like you do with blueberries and lingonberries
You can find lint clumps on the underside of the picnic table’s cloth or on some vegetables to the west of the Fairy House. Chrysalis hide comes from the chrysalis pods you’ll see hanging down from leaves in the Garden, including in the area where you find ladybug eggs. Shoot them down with an arrow, then use the Omni-Tool’s axe to harvest the hide. However, you’ll need the tier-three axe to harvest both the hide and lint clumps, so make sure to upgrade that first.
