How to Build a Zipline & Zipline Tower in Grounded

Ziplines are one of the most efficient ways to travel across the Grounded yard, allowing you to quickly move between distant locations. This guide walks you through the complete process of building a zipline tower system, from selecting the ideal starting height to connecting your anchors with silk rope.

Choosing Your Starting Location

The first step in building a zipline tower is selecting a starting point that’s positioned at a significant height. The oak tree is an excellent natural choice, as it rises higher than most other structures in the yard. If you’re creating a custom zipline system, you’ll need to build a tall tower at your desired starting location to gain the necessary elevation for effective ziplining.

Installing Zipline Anchors

Once you’ve reached your high point, it’s time to place the zipline anchors. To create a zipline anchor, navigate to the middle piece of the construction menu and select option number three.

Place your first zipline anchor at your starting location. Then, place the second zipline anchor at your destination point—this is where you want to be able to zipline to. For example, you might position your destination anchor near the hedges or other areas of interest in the yard.

Understanding Zipline Benefits

While using a zipline may initially seem like it takes some time to execute, the time investment pays off significantly. Ziplining is drastically faster than running the same distance on foot, making it an excellent way to shorten travel time when you need to return to the same location repeatedly. This is especially useful when you’re regularly visiting resource areas, such as places where you can gather berry chunks.

Connecting Your Anchors With Silk Rope

The final step is connecting your two zipline anchors. Use silk rope to bridge the gap between your starting anchor and your destination anchor. The amount of silk rope you’ll need depends on the distance between your two anchor points. Once connected, your zipline system will be fully functional and ready to use.

Summary

Building a zipline tower in Grounded is straightforward: start at a high location (like the oak tree or a custom tower), place a zipline anchor at your starting point, place another anchor at your destination, and connect them with silk rope. This simple system will significantly improve your mobility and make traversing the yard much more efficient. Whether you’re heading to gather resources or exploring new areas, ziplines are an essential tool for any Grounded player.
