"How to Get and Use the Wish Machine in Once Human"

Get ready, survival enthusiasts! The eagerly awaited mobile version of the post-apocalyptic game Once Human is slated for release on April 23, 2025. Since its announcement in 2024, it has consistently topped wishlists among fans of the genre. A standout feature of Once Human is the Wish Machine, a crucial tool that allows players to obtain blueprints for weapons, gear, and essential items, significantly enhancing their survival experience in the game's desolate world. This guide is your go-to resource for everything you need to know about unlocking, building, and effectively using the Wish Machine.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine in Once Human is straightforward, as the game encourages early access to this feature. You'll encounter the Wish Machine by progressing through the main storyline quests. It becomes available during your journey through the Greywater Camp in the Iron River section. Once you've found the machine, interact with it to decide whether to transfer it to your base or craft it using the required resources. Here's what you'll need to construct the Wish Machine:

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

After collecting these materials, you can build the Wish Machine at your base by navigating to the building menu and selecting Facilities > Function Facility.

Using the Wish Machine involves spending Starchrom: a single draw costs 500 Starchrom, while a 10-pull requires 5000 Starchrom. After confirming your selection, you'll participate in a mini-game where you hit a llama with a mallet. While the outcome of the mini-game doesn't affect your reward, you must complete it. If you prefer to skip this step, you can select the "Bypass Cutscene" option.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

While the Wish Machine's mechanics are simple, you can maximize your efficiency by following these tips:

• Evaluating Costs: Consider the cost-effectiveness of using the Wish Machine versus directly purchasing blueprints from the Blueprint Shop, especially for high-tier items.
• Budgeting Starchrom: Since Starchrom is a limited resource, prioritize spending on blueprints that enhance your preferred gameplay style.
• Understanding Probability: Keep in mind that the rewards from the mini-game are randomized. If you're after a specific item, be prepared for multiple attempts or consider purchasing it directly from the Blueprint Shop.

For an enhanced gaming experience, consider playing Once Human on a larger screen using BlueStacks on your PC or laptop, along with your keyboard and mouse.
