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

The highly anticipated mobile version of the post-apocalyptic survival game, Once Human, is scheduled for release on April 23, 2025. Since its announcement in 2024, it has become one of the most wishlisted games in its genre. A key feature in Once Human is the Wish Machine, which is crucial for players looking to enhance their survival experience by obtaining blueprints for weapons, gear, and other vital items. This guide will walk you through unlocking, building, and effectively using the Wish Machine.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is straightforward as the game encourages early access to this feature. You can unlock it by progressing through the main storyline quests. The Wish Machine becomes available during the main questline in the Greywater Camp within 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. To construct the Wish Machine, you'll need:

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

Once you've collected these materials, you can build the Wish Machine in your territory by navigating to the building menu and selecting Facilities > Function Facility.

A single draw from the Wish Machine costs 500 starchrom, while a 10-pull costs 5000 starchrom. After confirming your choice, you'll participate in a mini-whacking game where you strike a llama with a mallet. The outcome of hitting the llama doesn't affect your reward, but you must complete the action. If you prefer to skip this game, use the "Bypass Cutscene" button to proceed directly to your reward.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

While the Wish Machine's mechanics are simple, you can optimize your use of it with these tips:

• Evaluating Costs: Consider the cost-effectiveness of using the Wish Machine compared to purchasing desired blueprints directly from the Blueprint Shop, especially for high-tier items.
• Budgeting Starchrom: Starchrom is a limited resource, so prioritize spending on blueprints that match your gameplay strategy.
• Understanding Probability: The mini-game offers randomized rewards. If you're after a specific item, be prepared for multiple draws or consider a direct purchase from the Blueprint Shop to guarantee your desired outcome.

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