"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 among the top wishlisted games within its genre. Central to the gameplay is the Wish Machine, a vital feature that empowers players to obtain blueprints for weapons, gear, and other crucial items, significantly enhancing their survival experience in the game’s ravaged world. This guide delves into the Wish Machine, detailing how to unlock, construct, and effectively utilize it.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is straightforward as the game encourages early access to this feature. To set it up, players simply need to progress through the main storyline quests. You'll encounter the Wish Machine during the main quest line at the Greywater Camp in the Iron River section. Upon encountering it, you have the option to either transfer it to your base or craft it using the necessary resources. To construct the Wish Machine, you'll need:

• 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 5000 starchrom. After confirming your selection, you'll engage in a mini-whacking game, where you strike a llama with a mallet. The llama you hit doesn't affect the outcome, but hitting it is necessary. If you wish to skip this, use the bypass cutscene button to proceed directly to the reward phase.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

While using the Wish Machine is straightforward, players can enhance their efficiency with these strategic tips:

• Evaluating Costs: The mini-game involves chance, but directly purchasing desired blueprints from the Blueprint Shop can often be more cost-effective, especially for high-tier items.
• Budgeting Starchrom: With starchrom being a limited resource, prioritize its use on essential blueprints that complement your gameplay style.
• Understanding Probability: The rewards from the mini-game are randomized. If you're targeting a specific item, be prepared for multiple attempts or consider buying it directly from the Blueprint Shop.

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