Once Human Guide to Get and Use the Wish Machine

The highly anticipated mobile version of the post-apocalyptic survival game, Once Human, is set to launch on April 23, 2025. This title has been among the most wishlisted games in its genre since its announcement in 2024. Central to the gameplay of Once Human is the Wish Machine, a key feature that enables players to obtain crucial blueprints for weapons, gear, and other items vital for surviving the game's harsh world. This guide offers a detailed look at how to unlock, construct, and make the most out of the Wish Machine.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is straightforward as the game encourages early access to this feature. Simply progress through the main storyline quests until you reach the Greywater Camp in the Iron River section. Here, you'll encounter the Wish Machine. Interact with it to decide whether to transfer it to your base or craft it using the required resources. To construct the Wish Machine, you'll need the following materials:

• Copper Ingots: 25
• Rusted Parts: 10
• Metal Scraps: 5
• Rubber: 3
• Glass: 5

Once you've gathered these materials, navigate to the building menu under Facilities > Function Facility to build the Wish Machine in your territory.

Each draw from the Wish Machine costs 500 starchrom, while a 10-pull requires 5000 starchrom. After selecting your draw, you'll participate in a mini-whacking game where you hit a llama with a mallet. The llama you strike doesn't affect your reward, but you must make the hit. If you prefer to skip the game, use the bypass Cutscene button to proceed directly to the results.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

While the Wish Machine's mechanics are simple, players can enhance their efficiency with these strategies:

• Evaluating Costs: Consider the cost-effectiveness of directly purchasing blueprints from the Blueprint Shop, especially for high-tier items, as opposed to relying solely on the chance-based mini-game.

• Budgeting Starchrom: With starchrom being a limited resource, focus your spending on blueprints that best suit your gameplay strategy.

• Understanding Probability: Keep in mind that the rewards from the mini-game are randomized. If you're targeting a specific item, prepare for multiple draws or opt for a direct purchase from the Blueprint Shop.

For an optimized gaming experience, players can enjoy Once Human on a larger screen using BlueStacks on their PC or laptop, complete with keyboard and mouse controls.
