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

The eagerly anticipated mobile version of the post-apocalyptic survival game, *Once Human*, is slated for release on April 23, 2025. Since its announcement in 2024, it has consistently ranked among the most wishlisted titles in its genre. A key feature in *Once Human* is the Wish Machine, which plays a crucial role in enhancing players' survival experience by allowing them to obtain blueprints for weapons, gear, and other vital items. This guide offers a detailed look at the Wish Machine, covering how to unlock, construct, and effectively use it.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is designed to be straightforward, encouraging players to access it early in their gameplay. To set up the Wish Machine, simply progress through the main storyline quests. You'll encounter the Wish Machine during the main quest line at the Greywater Camp in the Iron River section. Once you interact with the machine, you'll have the option to either 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

After collecting these materials, you can build the Wish Machine in your territory by navigating to the building menu under Facilities > Function Facility.

Using the Wish Machine involves spending starchrom: a single draw costs 500 starchrom, while a 10-pull requires 5000 starchrom. Once you've made your selection, you'll participate in a mini-whacking game where you hit a llama with a mallet. Although the llama you hit doesn't affect your reward, you must successfully make the hit. If you prefer to skip this game, you can select 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 straightforward, players can maximize their efficiency by following these tips:

• Evaluating Costs: The mini-game offers a chance-based approach, but directly purchasing desired blueprints from the Blueprint Shop might be more cost-effective, especially for high-tier items.
• Budgeting Starchrom: Given the limited availability of Starchrom, prioritize spending on essential blueprints that align with your gameplay style.
• Understanding Probability: Recognize that the mini-game’s rewards are randomized. If you're aiming for a specific item, be prepared for multiple attempts or consider a direct purchase from the blueprint shop.

For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy *Once Human* on a larger screen using a PC or laptop via BlueStacks, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
