To unlock and activate the resource surveyor in Grounded, you must find and interact with a specific activation switch typically located within a Field Station.
The Activation Process
Unlocking the resource surveyor involves a straightforward interaction. Once you locate a Field Station or a key story objective area, look for a console or a designated switch. Activating this switch is the pivotal step. This action will trigger a significant in-game event:
- A cutscene will play, visually indicating the system coming online.
- The entire resource surveyor system will boot up across the entire Yard, making its functionality available throughout your game world.
- You'll often hear an in-game confirmation, such as "scabby surveyor connection established," signaling that the system is fully operational and ready for use.
What Does the Resource Surveyor Do?
The Resource Surveyor is an invaluable tool for any survivor navigating the vast backyard. Once unlocked and operational, it allows you to:
- Locate vital resources: The system helps pinpoint the exact locations of various resources you might need for crafting, base building, or survival.
- Streamline resource gathering: Instead of aimlessly searching, you can use the surveyor to highlight specific resource nodes on your map, making your expeditions far more efficient.
For more details on its functions and how to utilize it effectively, you can consult resources like the Grounded Wiki's Resource Surveyor page.
Where to Find the Activation Switch
While the exact location of activation switches can vary as you progress through Grounded's story and explore new areas, they are consistently associated with Field Stations. These stations serve as crucial hubs for scientific operations and often house the advanced technology required to interface with the backyard's systems, including the resource surveyor. Exploring these stations thoroughly will lead you to the necessary activation point.
