How to Use A Grinder to Make Plant Fibre in Grounded

Plant fibre is an essential crafting material in Grounded, and the easiest way to obtain it is through a grinder. This guide walks you through building a grinder and converting various plant matter—grass pieces, clover, weed stems, and more—into plant fibre efficiently.

Building Your First Grinder

The first step is to construct a grinder. You’ll need to access your crafting menu by pressing B, then navigate to the middle section and select option number four. The grinder requires the following materials:

2 Acorn Shells

3 Flower Petals

5 Red Ant Parts

2 Weed Stems

These are all common items that you can easily find throughout the world, so gathering them shouldn’t present any challenge.

Converting Plant Matter to Plant Fibre

Once you’ve built your grinder, approach it and press the use button to access its conversion menu. The grinder offers multiple conversion ratios depending on the plant material you have available:

Plant Fibre Conversion Rates

Sprig: 1 Sprig = 1 Plant Fibre

Weed Stem: 1 Weed Stem = 8 Plant Fibre

Eelgrass: 1 Eelgrass = 3 Plant Fibre

Clover: 1 Clover = 2 Plant Fibre

Grass Plank: 1 Grass Plank = 5 Plant Fibre

Why the Grinder is Your Best Option

The grinder eliminates the need to hunt for tiny individual plants scattered throughout the world. All of these plant sources—sprigs, weed stems, eelgrass, clover, and grass planks—are abundant and easy to locate during your exploration. By using the grinder, you can convert large quantities of plant matter into plant fibre quickly and efficiently, rather than spending time searching for rare drops.

Summary

Using a grinder is the most efficient method for producing plant fibre in Grounded. Once you’ve gathered the materials to build one (acorn shells, flower petals, red ant parts, and weed stems), you’ll have access to multiple conversion recipes. Choose the plant material that’s most abundant in your current location, and convert it into plant fibre at favorable rates. This approach saves time and allows you to focus on other aspects of the game.
