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

The much-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 climbed to the top of many gamers' wishlists within the genre. A key feature of Once Human is the Wish Machine, a vital tool that lets players obtain blueprints for weapons, gear, and other crucial survival items, thereby enriching their experience in the game's desolate world. This guide offers an in-depth look at the Wish Machine, detailing 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 set up the Wish Machine, simply advance through the main storyline quests. You'll encounter the Wish Machine during the main questline in the Greywater Camp of the Iron River section. Upon encountering the machine, interact with it to decide whether to 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 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 choice, a mini-game initiates where you must hit a llama with a mallet. While the outcome of your hit doesn't affect the reward, hitting the llama is necessary. If you wish to skip the mini-game, select the "Bypass Cutscene" option.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

While the Wish Machine's operation is simple, players can enhance their efficiency by considering these tips:

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