Day one never happened to me so far. But i don´t use a torch in my first POI, i don´t mine during the first few nights. Neither do i cook and smelt in the forge at the same time. And ofc no dew collector on day one. That´s the 101 of the apocalypse to be careful when you have nothing.
Stay elevated, keep the noise down, run away if needed. It´s manageable.
