The much-anticipated mobile version of the post-apocalyptic survival game, *Once Human*, is scheduled to launch on April 23, 2025. Since its announcement in 2024, it has consistently ranked among the top wishlisted titles for fans of the genre. A key feature within the game, the Wish Machine, plays a crucial role by enabling players to obtain blueprints for weapons, gear, and other vital items, significantly enhancing their survival experience in the game's desolate world. This guide offers a detailed look at the Wish Machine, including steps on how to unlock, build, and use it effectively for your benefit.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is straightforward, as the game encourages players to access it early on. You'll encounter the Wish Machine as you progress through the main storyline quests. It becomes available during the questline at the Greywater Camp in the Iron River section. Once you encounter it, you'll have the option to either transfer it to your base or craft it using specific resources. To construct the Wish Machine, you'll need 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 under Facilities > Function Facility.

To use the Wish Machine, you'll need Starchrom: a single draw costs 500 Starchrom, while a 10-pull requires 5000 Starchrom. Confirm your choice to initiate the process, which includes a mini-game where you hit a llama with a mallet. While the outcome of the mini-game doesn't affect your prize, hitting the target is required. If you prefer to skip the game, you can use the "bypass Cutscene" button.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

Although the Wish Machine's mechanics are simple, players can enhance their efficiency by considering these tips:

• Evaluating Costs: The mini-game is based on chance, but for high-tier items, it might be more cost-effective to buy directly from the Blueprint Shop.

• Budgeting Starchrom: Given the limited supply of Starchrom, 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 tries, or opt for 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 through BlueStacks, complete with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
