"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 as one of the most wishlisted games among fans of the genre. A standout feature in *Once Human* is the Wish Machine, which is crucial for acquiring blueprints for weapons, gear, and other vital items, significantly enhancing the survival experience in the game's desolate landscape. This guide offers an in-depth look at the Wish Machine, detailing how to unlock, construct, and effectively use it.

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, specifically within the Greywater Camp in the Iron River section. Upon encountering the machine, you'll have the option to either transfer it to your base or craft it using the following materials:

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

Once you've gathered these resources, you can construct 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. After confirming your selection, you'll participate in a mini-game where you hit a llama with a mallet. Although the outcome of the mini-game doesn't affect your reward, you must complete it. If you prefer to skip this, 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 simple, players can optimize their use of it with these tips:

• Evaluating Costs: Consider the cost-effectiveness of using the Wish Machine versus directly purchasing desired blueprints from the Blueprint Shop, especially for high-tier items.
• Budgeting Starchrom: With Starchrom being 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 opt for a direct purchase from the Blueprint Shop.

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