[2022] Wolves and bears too early

RNG spawns. Pay attention to your surroundings. For the most part they only spawn at night that early into the game also; So be extra careful at night, and when heading out the following day.

It's important to note here that you can now have a gun and a chunk of ammo day 1 too- Recommend making that a priority craft. Just takes some pipes, glue, and wood.

Originally posted by BGratz: Not sure if its still possible, but a wolf eating you before you could make your first stoneaxe was,...not so nice

Possible? Yes. Likely? No.

There is, and has been, a safe zone set around your spawn point when you make a new character- No zombies or hostile-capable animals will spawn in this zone for 12 hours.

The sticker here is that if you go too far from spawn, Or enter a POI far enough to spawn zombies, the spawn protection will end.

So, Yes, If you spawn in and just meander in one specific direction without really doing your tutorial (which is basically always doable within 25 blocks of where you spawn), you can exit this spawn protection and end up being attacked before getting to make an axe or club.

But, In practice, This really shouldn't be a concern for most people the majority of the time- Especially now that the game literally directs you to accessible wood/stone/nest sources for the tutorial steps.
