How to get fire bricks in Grounded 2
Grounded 2’s fire bricks are essential crafting components used in multiple recipes, most notably for creating a diving suit needed to explore the pond’s depths and access the abyss area. However, the game doesn’t immediately reveal how to craft them. To unlock the fire brick recipe, players must first scan phantom quartz, a new resource introduced in the “Into the Abyss” update. Phantom quartz is a pink gemstone that appears in specific locations throughout the game world, and discovering it requires dedicated exploration or prior knowledge of its existence. Beyond simply finding the material, players will need access to a new processing station to actually convert phantom quartz into fire bricks. This progression requirement reflects Grounded 2’s broader crafting system, where recipes must be unlocked by scanning new materials rather than being immediately available. The game gradually gates access to advanced crafting options, requiring players to discover and prepare multiple components before production can begin.
