As you progress in Grounded 2, your ability to craft items that boost your gameplay unlocks as your intelligence increases. When you explore and find new resources—like plants, bugs, and food—you analyze them at the Resource Analyzer. Doing so reveals useful recipes you can craft to help during your adventures in the park.
Your Brainpower level controls which additional items you can craft at the Workbench. Each level up to level nine offers new recipes to unlock, providing more tools, weapons, and armor. Knowing your current Brainpower level helps you see what you can craft and what resources are needed for each recipe in Grounded 2.
### How To Increase Brainpower
As you explore Grounded 2, you’ll encounter new resources. These include various plants, insects, and edible items. Collecting and harvesting these resources is vital not only for crafting but also for increasing your Brainpower.
Your Brainpower reflects your knowledge. Every time you learn something new—such as analyzing a resource or defeating a new bug—you gain more knowledge. This progress unlocks new recipes, allowing you to craft better gear that enhances your chances of survival in the park.
The only way to boost your Brainpower is by analyzing new resources you come across during gameplay. Ranger Stations are equipped with a Resource Analyzer, where you can scan each new resource to gain Brainpower points.
> Tip: Every time you encounter a new bug or harvest an unfamiliar resource, take it to the nearest Ranger Station for analysis.
