Get ready, survival enthusiasts! The highly anticipated mobile version of the post-apocalyptic game, *Once Human*, is slated to hit the app stores on April 23, 2025. Since its announcement in 2024, it's been topping wishlists for fans eager to dive into its immersive world. A key feature that promises to elevate your gameplay is the Wish Machine, a unique system that lets you snag blueprints for weapons, gear, and other vital items crucial for surviving in the game's harsh environment. This guide will walk you through unlocking, building, and making the most out of the Wish Machine.
How to Unlock the Wish Machine
Unlocking the Wish Machine is a breeze, as the developers want you to get your hands on it early. Simply follow the main storyline quests, and you'll encounter the Wish Machine during your journey through the Greywater Camp in the Iron River section. Once you meet the machine, you'll have the option to either move it to your base or craft one with the required resources. To construct your Wish Machine, you'll need:
- Copper Ingots: 25
- Rusted Parts: 10
- Metal Scraps: 5
- Rubber: 3
- Glass: 5
After collecting these materials, head to the building menu under Facilities > Function Facility to set up your Wish Machine within your territory.
A single draw from the Wish Machine costs 500 starchrom, while a 10-pull will set you back 5000 starchrom. Once you've made your choice, you'll engage in a fun mini-game where you whack a llama with a mallet. Don't worry, the outcome of the game doesn't affect your prize, but you do need to hit the llama. If you're not in the mood for games, just hit the bypass cutscene button to skip it.
Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit
While using the Wish Machine is straightforward, here are some tips to help you maximize its potential:
Evaluating Costs: The mini-game is a gamble, but sometimes buying blueprints directly from the Blueprint Shop can be more cost-effective, especially for those high-tier items you're eyeing.
Budgeting Starchrom: Starchrom is a precious resource, so spend it wisely. Focus on blueprints that fit your playstyle and will significantly boost your survival chances.
Understanding Probability: The rewards from the mini-game are random. If you're after a specific item, be ready for multiple tries or consider a direct purchase from the Blueprint Shop to save time and starchrom.
For an even more immersive experience, consider playing Once Human on your PC or laptop using BlueStacks. Enjoy the game on a larger screen with the precision of a keyboard and mouse, making your post-apocalyptic adventures smoother and more enjoyable.
