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

The mobile version of the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic survival game, Once Human, is set to launch on April 23, 2025. Since its announcement in 2024, it has become one of the most wishlisted games among fans of the genre. Central to the gameplay is the Wish Machine, a crucial feature that allows 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, including how to unlock, construct, and effectively use it.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is straightforward, as the game encourages early access to this feature. To set up the Wish Machine, you'll need to progress through the main storyline quests. It becomes available during the main quest line in the Greywater Camp of the Iron River section. Upon encountering the machine, you'll have the option to transfer it to your base or craft it using specific resources. Once unlocked, you'll need the following materials 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 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. Once you've made your selection, the process begins with a mini-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 simple, 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.
