Where To Find Greenhouse Turbo Optical Disk 5 in Grounded 2
The Greenhouse Turbo Optical Disk 5 in Grounded 2 is located high up inside the Greenhouse area and is only accessible during the Toxic Tangle update. Reaching it requires careful movement across lights and power cables, and in some cases protection from sizzle damage, depending on your story progression.
These are the summarised steps, but we walk through each step in more detail coming up:
- Prepare for sizzle damage
- Reach the top-left side of the Greenhouse
- Traverse the Greenhouse roof edge
- Cross the power cable and first light
- Jump to the second light
- Collect the Greenhouse Turbo Optical Disk
- Exit the Greenhouse safely
- Return to the Greenhouse Ranger Outpost

How to Get the Greenhouse Turbo Optical Disk 5
Step 1: Prepare for Sizzle Damage
Before heading to the Greenhouse, it’s recommended to equip sizzle-resistant gear, especially if you have already progressed the main story and turned the greenhouse lights on.
Ideally, equip the Sizzling Circlet, Sizzling Robes, and Sizzling Boots, and activate the Fresh Defense mutation to reduce sizzle buildup. If you attempt this before completing the main story, you may be able to reach the disk without the armor, but it is still safer to bring it.
Step 2: Reach the Top-Left Side of the Greenhouse
Make your way to the top-left side of the Greenhouse. Look for a climbable plant and begin ascending it carefully.
Climb all the way to the top, following the plant and roots upward until you emerge on the outside edge of the Greenhouse structure.
Step 3: Traverse the Greenhouse Roof Edge
Once outside, jump onto the Greenhouse roof and begin moving along the edge toward the bottom-left corner of the structure.
Follow the roots and roof edges carefully. This section may look different depending on your main story progress, but the route remains the same.
Eventually, you’ll re-enter the Greenhouse interior and land on a black power cable.
Step 4: Cross the Power Cable and First Light
Leave your Orb Weaver Buggy behind before continuing, as it cannot traverse the cable.
Run across the black power cable until you reach a light fixture. Nearby, you’ll notice Bombardier Beetles and a Milk Molar.
Jump onto the light and break the Milk Molar first. This is important because once you move forward, you won’t be able to return easily. After breaking it, retreat and allow your sizzle meter to reset.
Step 5: Jump to the Second Light
Once your sizzle meter has cooled down, sprint from the first light to the second light. You’ll need a running jump to make it safely.
Land carefully and sprint across the surface, then jump onto the next power cable on the far side.
Ignore the Optical Disk and rummage pile for now, as sizzle buildup and enemy pressure can make this section dangerous.
Step 6: Collect the Greenhouse Turbo Optical Disk
Wait for your sizzle meter to reset, then head to the Greenhouse Turbo Optical Disk, which sits on top of a light next to a rummage pile.
The rummage pile only contains two slime mold stalks, but the real reward is the Optical Disk itself. Grab it quickly and prepare to leave.
Step 7: Exit the Greenhouse Safely
You cannot return the way you came, so follow the nearby power cable instead. At the end, break the chewing gum blocking the path.
Turn slightly right and continue along the cable until you can drop down onto a plant below. You will take minor fall damage, but this is the safest exit route.
Follow the power cable along the edge until you reach a shelf near a plant pot. From here, you can safely bring out your Orb Weaver Buggy again and descend.
Step 8: Return to the Greenhouse Ranger Outpost
Drop down through the plants below and head to the Greenhouse Ranger Outpost. Use the Ranger Station terminal and insert the Greenhouse Turbo Optical Disk to unlock its rewards.
