"Guide to Obtaining and Using the Wish Machine in Once Human"

The highly 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 as one of the most wishlisted titles among fans of the genre. A crucial element in Once Human is the Wish Machine, which enables players to obtain blueprints for weapons, gear, and other vital items, significantly enhancing their survival experience in the game's desolate world. This guide offers a detailed look at the Wish Machine, covering how to unlock, construct, and make the most out of it.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is straightforward, as the game encourages early access to this feature. To unlock it, you simply need to progress through the main storyline quests. You'll encounter the Wish Machine during the main questline in the Greywater Camp within 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. To construct the Wish Machine, gather 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.

A single draw from the Wish Machine costs 500 Starchrom, while a 10-pull requires 5000 Starchrom. After confirming 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 make the shot. If you prefer to skip this, 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 easy to grasp, players can optimize their use with these tips:

• Evaluating Costs: The mini-game is chance-based, but buying desired blueprints directly from the Blueprint Shop might be more cost-effective, especially for high-tier items.
• Budgeting Starchrom: Since Starchrom is a limited resource, prioritize spending on essential blueprints that match your gameplay style.
• Understanding Probability: The rewards from the mini-game are randomized. If you're after a specific item, be ready for multiple attempts or consider purchasing directly from the Blueprint Shop.

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