How to Get Thistle Needle in Grounded

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of obtaining Thistle Needles in Grounded. Whether you’re just starting out or haven’t unlocked the Resource Surveyor yet, we’ll show you exactly where to find these valuable resources and how to collect them efficiently.

Finding Thistle Needles in Flooded Areas

Before you’ve unlocked the Resource Surveyor, you can find Thistle Needles in specific flooded areas of the map. You can reference your map on the left side of your screen or check the map display in the bottom right corner of your interface.

Look for distinctive pointy, spiky plants that have a pinkish-purple flower at the top. These are the Thistle plants you’re searching for, and they contain the needles you need.

Collecting Thistle Needles

Once you’ve located a Thistle plant, collecting the needles is straightforward. Simply walk up to the plant and press E to pick up the needles. Each plant will yield needles that you can collect.

To maximize your collection, try jumping up the leaves of the plant as you move through it. This allows you to progressively gather more needles from a single plant.

Using Thistle Needles

Thistle Needles are valuable crafting materials with multiple uses:

Spiky Sprig Weapon — A melee weapon you can craft using Thistle Needles

Sprig Arrows — The first range weapon available in the game, created from these needles

Summary

Gathering Thistle Needles in Grounded is an essential early-game task. Head to the flooded areas of your map, locate the spiky plants with pinkish-purple flowers, and press E to collect the needles. With these resources, you’ll be able to craft both melee and ranged weapons to help you progress in your adventure.
