Grounded - Mysterious Machine Walkthrough - How to Repair Lasers

Investigate the mysterious machine

When you find the mysterious machine for the first time, you will be prompted to interact with it to activate it. Jump on the mysterious machine and find the start button. There is three buttons arranged next to each other, but only the first ones work for the moment. Tap on it and the three lasers surrounding the machine will come to life. Unfortunately, only one of them works without a problem. The second laser is obstructed by something and the third laser is weakened for some reason.

Unlock the obstructed laser

Unlocking the Obstructed Laser is a quick and easy fix, but you need to learn how to craft items in Grounded before you can deal with it. To unblock the obstructed laser, you need to cut the giant blade of grass this blocks it, but you will need a aitch do this. Crafting an ax is pretty straightforward, just open your inventory and go to the Crafting tab. A Pebble ax, the first ax you learn to craft in Grounded, requires 3 Strands 2015. shingle, and 1 Woven fiber to manufacture. Strands et shingle can be found lying around, but Woven fiber requires you to make it from Vegetable fiber (see our Guide to woven fibers to learn how to make it). Craft the ax and cut the blade of grass to unlock the clogged laser.

Find out what weakens one of the lasers

Now that the first laser is taken care of, it's time to move on to the second, more complex problem: finding what is weakening one of the lasers. Before you go, you'll want to create a spear because you are going to have fights. You can use the aitch you designed to cut the blade of grass earlier, but a spear is much more effective during a fight. You can create a Lance Pebblet with 2 Strands 2015. Vegetable fiber, and 1 Pebblet, and you can find all of these materials in the field without much hassle.

You will also need a torch because this part of the quest involves a brief excursion underground. Fortunately, a torch can be crafted quite easily in Grounded. Crafting a torch requires 2 Strands 2015. Sap 2015. Woven fiberand 3 Pieces of dry grass. Strands can be found lying around and Woven fiber is made from Vegetable fiber, but the other two materials are probably new to you at this point. Sap can be found lying around but this is rare. Follow the proximity ants and they can lead you to a sap deposit. Look for little orange orbs. Pieces of dry grass can be obtained by destroying dry blades of grass (who appear fané) with a aitch. Once you've acquired the necessary materials, craft a torch and go.

With a weapon in hand, follow the glittering laser to its base. You will find a exposed wire underneath with a bunch of Lawn mites chew on it. To fix the laser, you just need to kill all the mites. By following the wire, you will be led underground in a sombre caves. Equip your torch and continue to remove mites from the lawn. You'll know you've reached the end when you meet some rocks blocking the way forward. From there, return to the surface and return to the Mysterious Machine.

Now the button below should be enabled. press the second button and one cinematic will play. There was a strange explosion au Oak, but for now, the Mysterious Machine quest is over.
