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

The eagerly awaited 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 among the top wishlisted games in its genre. A key feature within Once Human is the Wish Machine, which players can use to obtain blueprints for weapons, gear, and other crucial items, significantly enhancing their survival experience in the game's desolate world. This guide offers an in-depth look at the Wish Machine, detailing how to unlock, construct, and effectively utilize it.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is designed to be straightforward as the game aims for players to access it early on. You can initiate the setup of the Wish Machine by advancing through the main storyline quests. It becomes available during the main quest 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 required resources. Once unlocked, constructing the Wish Machine will require 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 and selecting Facilities > Function Facility.

A single draw from the Wish Machine costs 500 Starchrom, while a 10-pull requires 5,000 Starchrom. Confirm your choice to initiate the process, which involves a mini-whacking game where you hit a llama with a mallet. The llama you strike does not affect the outcome of your reward, but you must successfully hit it. If you prefer to skip the game, you can use the "bypass Cutscene" button to proceed directly.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

While the Wish Machine's mechanics are straightforward, players can enhance their efficiency by following these tips:

• Evaluating Costs: Although the mini-game provides a chance-based system, directly purchasing desired blueprints from the Blueprint Shop might be more cost-effective, especially for high-tier items.
• Budgeting Starchrom: Considering the limited availability of Starchrom, it's wise to prioritize spending on essential blueprints that match your gameplay style.
• Understanding Probability: Keep in mind that the rewards from the mini-game are randomized. If you're targeting 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 with BlueStacks, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
