Surviving the Bugs & Building the Base| Grounded 2

The ultimate base-building marathon in Grounded 2! Rejoining KeecoCakes in voice and Docha_Tiarna in the community, we set out on an ambitious 7-hour construction project to build a permanent, impenetrable "Taj Mahal" stronghold near the Snack Bar and Picnic Table. In this episode, we solve tricky "unsupported structure" placement bugs, haul hundreds of mushroom bricks and grass planks across the yard using our mounts, and design a massive, fully categorized master storage facility. To top it off, we engineer an ingenious automated water harvesting system using an elevated platform and mount-roar physics to instantly knock water drops into collection barrels!
