As you progress through Grounded 2, you’ll begin to need 
Pine Needles. These are used in many crafts, including the powerful Glacial Sting stave. However, these can be difficult to find if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Read on to find out how to get Pine Needles and what crafts you need them for.
Pine Needles are required for Tier II building as well as to upgrade the Omni-Shovel.

Best Pine Needle Locations¶
The best place to find Pine Needles is in the northeast corner of the Ice Cream Cart quadrant of the map, close to the eastern border. From the Ice Cream Cart (center of the quadrant), head northeast toward the green part of the map (tree). When you reach the area, look on the floor for Needle Stacks and chop them up for Pine Needles. This whole area is filled with them, so you should be able to get more than enough to meet your needs. Note, if you require Blueberries for the Omni-Axe upgrade, you can find an entire field of them south of the Ice Cream Cart.
Head to the northeast corner of the Ice Cream Cart quadrant to find Pine Needles.
You’ll need a Tier II Omni-Axe to obtain them.
