BG Gaming Welcome Centres

Free public crafting hubs run by the BG Gaming admin team to help new survivors get started.

The BG Gaming Welcome Centres are public crafting hubs that the admin team builds on most maps in the cluster. The idea is simple: when you join a new map — whether it’s your first day on BG Gaming or you’ve just transferred over from another map — you shouldn’t have to spend two hours grinding stone and thatch to make a single Smithy.

Each Welcome Centre is stocked with public-access crafting stations covering the full early-game tech tree — Smithy, Fabricator, Mortar & Pestle, Refining Forge, Industrial Forge, Chemistry Bench, and more. You can use them freely, no permissions needed, no tribe membership required.

Below you’ll find a map-by-map guide to where every Welcome Centre is, including the easiest routes in by land and by air. We’ll be expanding this page as more centres come online — check back for Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction and the rest.
