Key Features – Grounded 2 Mod Options at a Glance

Three expert-tuned presets:

Epic Visuals (12GB+ VRAM): Unlocks maximum settings—volumetric clouds and fog, maximum shadows, and top-tier atmospheric effects for a stunning look.
Visuals & Balance (8GB VRAM): Blends sharp visuals with stable FPS; disables distracting post-processing like motion blur, cleans up pop-in, and uses balanced global illumination.
Ultra Performance (6GB or less): Trims all the GPU fat for a buttery-smooth framerate; trims shadows, foliage, and Lumen to basics, but keeps water realistic.


Unlocks advanced Unreal Engine 5 settings hidden from the in-game menus for true PC tweaking power.
Massive FPS boosts, reduced stutter, and modern GPU-threading for smoother play in demanding zones.
Latest update: Fixes the blurry texture bug, so visuals stay sharp and stable whether you’re pushing limits or just want a no-nonsense run.

Where This Mod Shines: Real Impact for Every Style
The Definitive Engine Tweaks Mod works behind the scenes but has a visible impact everywhere. You’ll notice:

Exploration: Crisp, consistent visuals as you scout new map regions, with fewer nasty stutters during fog or heavy storms on all presets.
Base Building: Ultra Performance preset means fewer slowdowns when stacking massive structures or triggering physics-heavy chain reactions.
Combat: Sharper shadows and removed post-processing (Visuals & Balance) make enemy outlines easier to spot—great for spider showdowns or stealthy night raids.
Immersion: Epic Visuals preset turns Grounded 2 into a PC showcase, loading every layer of atmosphere, cloud, and dynamic light—the definitive photomode or high-end monitor experience.

No matter if you’re marathon streaming, pushing for the sleekest ultra-wide setup, or just want consistent performance when the bugs pile up, this mod lets you set the tone. Not just “prettier”—smarter.
Installation & Prerequisites

Find Your Config Folder

– Steam: %LocalAppData%\Augusta\Saved\Config\WinGRTS

– Xbox App/Game Pass for PC: %LocalAppData%\Augusta\Saved\Config\WinGDK
Open “Run” (Windows Key + R), paste the path for your version, and press Enter.
Look for Engine.ini. If missing, create a new text file and rename it to Engine.ini (not .txt!).
Open the downloaded preset file and copy all text. Replace the entire contents of your Engine.ini with the new settings. Save and close.
Enable Read-Only: Right-click Engine.ini → Properties → Check “Read-only” → OK. This stops the game from overwriting the tweaks.

To uninstall, just delete Engine.ini (the game will make a fresh one), or uncheck “Read-only” and restore defaults.
