1x Gather | 2x with Skill Perks | PvE Survival | Monthly Wipes Welcome to First Encounters, the slow-burn start of a much larger story.

Most ignored the signs… until it was too late. Features: Tiered NPCs: Monuments feature custom NPC tailored to challenge level and server theme. Roaming Zombies: Easily killed zombies roam the empty land. Dynamic Events: Classic events reworked, plus new activities for all skill levels Player-Shaped Questlines: Hand-crafted quests tied to the unfolding mystery Skill Tree: Progression that rewards all playstyles through XP and role-based perks Fully community friendly: no features locked behind donations. Raidable Bases: Offline-friendly PvE raiding. Convoys: Whether you enjoy the roads or the train tracks, there's one for you! Custom Map: Explore unique terrain and get around with ease in unique locations with easy-to-use licensed vehicles Stack Almost Everything: Stack way more than just boxes! Water Bases: Build your base on the water for strategic advantage or some peace. Basements: Add a hidden basement to your base. Ripe Plants Don’t Die: Your harvest is safe, always. First Encounters is perfect for newer or relaxed players who want to ease into Apocalyptia's chaos, but don’t get too comfortable. The story’s only just beginning.
