Grounded is an FPS game where players are shrunk down to the size of an ant and thrown into a backyard teeming with tough insects. In this tiny world, the grass becomes a towering obstacle, and the dewdrops transform into refreshing water sources. Players will need to gather resources, build a base, and craft tools and weapons to survive and fight off hungry insects.

The "Fully Yoked" Update introduces the Yoking Station, a game-changing tool for weapon enthusiasts. This mighty tool allows you to push your gear beyond its limits, upgrading weapons (not armor) to level 15. Nevertheless, unlocking the Yoking Station is quite confusing. Luckily, this guide explains how to do so.

How To Unlock The Yoking Station In Grounded

By following these steps, you can easily get your hands on the Yoking Station in Grounded:

Enter The Remixed Yard

The Yoking Station isn’t available in the standard backyard and requires you to venture into a remixed yard first. This new and challenging environment is crowded with revamped landmarks and even deadlier creatures. There are two main ways to get access to a remixed yard:

  • Find the Mysterious Machine: While exploring the original backyard, you’ll come across the Mysterious Machine hiding under a shed. Interacting with this machine activates a randomized remixed yard.
  • Start a New Game with “Remix Mode” Enabled: Create a new game and select the World Size option. From here, activate the Remix Mode. Doing so will generate a remixed yard from the beginning of the game.

Locate The Advanced System Library (ASL)

When you are in the remixed yard, your next step will be to locate the Advanced System Library. It is a high-tech structure that resembles a giant computer terminal and serves as a shop for many powerful items.

The entrance of the ASL is marked by a glowing blue orb at its base.

Gather Raw Science

The ASL operates on Raw Science, which is a new resource dropped by MIX.R. You can gather Raw Science by battling a MIX.R or by exploring the remixed yard to uncover hidden caches. Your goal is to collect 50,000 Raw Science to buy the Yoking Station.

Collect The Required Resources

In addition to Raw Science, the Yoking Station itself requires a few specific crafting materials. Here is a list of everything you’ll need:

Crafting Material(s)

Resource Description

5x Duper Jelly

It can be obtained by defeating infected Stink Bugs.

5x Supreme Whetstone

These can be found throughout the remixed yard.

5x Supreme Plating

Crafted by Bombardier’s parts; dropped by bombardier beetles.

1x Broodmother Infused Ooze

You’ll need to defeat the infected Broodmother in the remixed yard. It is quite a formidable opponent, so stay on your toes.

Purchase the Yoking Station

Once you have everything you need, head back to the ASL and buy the Yoking Station. You can use it to upgrade your weapons. Doing so will increase their damage and effectiveness. Some upgrades may require you to venture deep into the remixed yard.
