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 remained one of the most wishlisted games among fans of the genre. A key feature in *Once Human* is the Wish Machine, which is crucial for players aiming to enhance their survival experience by acquiring blueprints for weapons, gear, and other vital items. This guide offers a detailed look into the Wish Machine, covering how to unlock, build, and effectively use it.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is designed to be straightforward, as the game encourages early access to this feature. You'll encounter the Wish Machine by advancing through the main storyline quests, specifically in the Greywater Camp of the Iron River section. Upon encountering the machine, you have the option to either transfer it to your base or craft it using specific resources. Here's what you need to construct the Wish Machine:

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

Once you've gathered these materials, you can construct the Wish Machine in your territory by navigating to the building menu under Facilities > Function Facility.

Using the Wish Machine involves spending Starchrom: a single draw costs 500 Starchrom, while a 10-pull requires 5000 Starchrom. After selecting your draw option, you'll engage in a mini-whacking game where you strike a llama with a mallet. The llama you hit doesn't affect your reward, but you must successfully make the shot. If you prefer to skip this game, simply select the 'Bypass Cutscene' button.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

While using the Wish Machine is straightforward, you can maximize its benefits with these tips:

• Evaluating Costs: Consider that the mini-game is based on chance. For high-tier items, it might be more cost-effective to purchase blueprints directly from the Blueprint Shop.
• Budgeting Starchrom: Starchrom is a limited resource, so prioritize spending on blueprints that match your gameplay style.
• Understanding Probability: The rewards from the mini-game are randomized. If you're after a specific item, be ready 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 BlueStacks on their PC or laptop, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
