Where to find Spider Silk in Grounded
Spider Silk is one of the most important materials used in the crafting of mid-to-late tier items in Grounded. Unfortunately, as with all materials with “spider” in the name, you’ll need to be brave in order to gather it.
Spider Silk can be harvested either from spider webs, or from the corpse of a spider. We’ll cover the second option below. But unfortunately, even the former option is likely to bring you into contact with Orb Weaver Spiders, which are some of the most dangerous creatures in Grounded.
As you may have seen, Orb Weavers spin their own webs on the ground, in the shape of a cone pointing upwards.But these conical webs don’t give you Spider Silk. What you need is to find theflat webs stretched across surfacesthat are dotted about the garden. An example is pictured above.
Moving too close to these webs will get you stuck in them for a short time, but whether you get stuck in or not, all you need to do to gather Spider Silk is to bash the web with your fists a few times. Eventually the web will be destroyed, but not before you are able to harvest a good 5 Spider Silk from it.
