In what I can only assume is Grounded 2's final mission and boss fight—I wouldn't know, I'm yet to beat it for reasons I'm about to go into—the trek to the Network Centre in the Networking mission is perilous in more ways than one. After spending hours exploring the Statue region and then climbing up to the Network Centre, I'm here to say "do the exact opposite of what I did" to avoid misery. And don't worry, this'll be as spoiler-free as possible.
After tracking down the two O.R.C transmitters in Signals and Stashes, you'll be sent on a quest to the Statue area in the northeast—already quite a trek from my base in Snackbar. You'll sneak in through the pipes, fight a miniboss, and finally emerge in the statue gardens, where you'll find new bugs, including praying mantis and fully-grown northern scorpions.
