Smalland Giant’s Fall Update: Patch Notes, New Pyrite Resource, NPCs, & more

Developer Merge Games is hard at work in improving Smalland as the company moves forward with the game’s early access roadmap. Recently, the developer released the Giant’s Fall update in Smalland, introducing new content, quality-of-life improvements, and fixes to various bugs for players to enjoy.

Smalland Giant’s Fall Update: New Features and Improvements

The new Giant’s Fall update in Smalland presents players with a new resource material: Pyrite. Use the new Metal Hatchet to farm this new material. New crafting recipes also come with this new material, including a new greatsword weapon and an armor set. Additionally, creative players can customize their in-game bases with over 30 new metal components and new cosmetic vines. Traveling around the map can also be faster than usual after taming a Hornet mount. Plus, use the tamed Hornet to attack hostile creatures in the world of the Smallfolk. But be wary as you explore the map, especially when farming silk, as colony spiders are now in the game. However, players can evade these battles or even deliver items to different places using the new catapult system. Talk to Nok for the blueprint of this ingenious contraption. While you’re exploring the new content in the Giant’s Fall update, don’t forget to visit the two new NPCs: the Historian and the Merchant. New players can also find a new body type in the character creation window.
