Stockpiling becomes a necessity in this highly immersive survival game, even if it is harder to do so if you are playing solo. Not only do you have to keep an eye out for storms, but certain resources also become scarcer as the seasons change. Whether it’s thunderstorms or just a shower of rain you’ll experience, it makes it harder to survive as it gets colder if you don’t have armour with decent cold resistance. Smalland: Survive The Wilds has an amazingly detailed weather system in place. While gathering resources and getting some good bases up and running is always a good idea, you also have to keep an eye on the weather, as storms can freeze you to death. ![]() The world looks a lot bigger when in first-person, making navigating a little harder since every turn may look the same, but at the same time, it is just a little bit more fun. Smalland: Survive The Wilds also allows you to play the game in either third-person view or first-person view, giving you the challenge of being able to easily see the different resources and insects around you or being focused on just what’s in front of you in first-person. You can easily check out what they are weak to by activating the Antenna Vision, allowing you to not only see what the insect is called but also what resources are around you. Because of this, it is easier to have at least one weapon of each damage type on you. However, you will struggle to kill a sawyer beetle as their weakness is pierce damage. For example, a gecko can be easily dealt with when you have a weapon with slash damage. Each enemy you encounter will also have its strengths and weakness corresponding to the different weapon damages. These are mostly insects and maybe a lizard or two. Finding the correct NPCs are made easier by checking your quests in the compendium, and you can easily see which NPCs you need to travel to.Īs you travel around in Smalland: Survive The Wilds, you’ll come across different beasts. You have to explore and find the NPCs with the correct quest to continue the storyline and to get hold of stronger armour since you cannot make them yourself. The game does focus on having a non-linear story, so it’s not as easy as tracking a quest marker down, e.g., 7 Days to Die with its easily discernable quest markers on the minimap. There isn’t much in terms of following the storyline and oftentimes, it feels as if there is no direction to go ahead with the storyline. You won’t have to face the puzzle again to get up and down the tree, as you have access to the Tree Butler, this being operates a small hot air balloon that you can use to ascend and descend quickly. ![]() Once you have climbed to the top and claimed it, you’ll have access to a large area where you can create a large base of operations with no insects, arachnids, or lizards nearby, making it a safe zone. These massive trees have a jumping puzzle for you to get to the top. If building a base near rivers or anywhere in the fields isn’t something you wish to do, all you have to do is to find a Great Tree. The map is large and offers much to explore and investigate, but having a stationary base is a godsend when you need to offload materials, upgrade, and repair as well as make a good home-cooked meal for your character. These are heavily encountered around the starting area and become scarcer as your travel further out from The Burrows.
