Once Human: How to Get & Use Wish Machine

The mobile adaptation of the acclaimed post-apocalyptic survival game Once Human arrives on April 23, 2025. Since its initial announcement in 2024, this title has consistently ranked among the most anticipated games in the survival genre. The Wish Machine stands as a crucial gameplay element, enabling survivors to obtain weapon blueprints, equipment, and vital resources to endure the game's harsh landscape. This guide offers detailed insights into unlocking, constructing, and optimizing this essential feature.

Unlocking the Wish Machine

Accessing the Wish Machine represents an early-game milestone designed to accelerate player progression. You'll automatically encounter this mechanic by following the main questline in Greywater Camp's Iron River district. Upon discovery, you'll receive the option to either relocate it to your base or craft a new unit. The construction requires these materials:

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

With materials gathered, navigate to the building menu under Facilities > Function Facility to deploy this valuable resource to your territory.

Each Wish Machine attempt consumes 500 Starchrom (5,000 for multiple attempts). After confirming your selection, you'll engage in an interactive whack-a-llama minigame - though the result carries no bearing on your reward quality. Players preferring streamlined access can skip this animation via the Cutscene bypass option.

Strategic Wish Machine Utilization

While mechanically simple, these professional tips can enhance your resource efficiency:

• Cost Analysis - Compare the Wish Machine's RNG rewards against direct blueprint purchases, especially for top-tier equipment
• Resource Allocation - Strategically conserve Starchrom for blueprints that complement your survival approach
• Probability Awareness - Understand the random nature of rewards; target-specific items may require multiple attempts or alternative acquisition methods

For enhanced gameplay, consider running Once Human through BlueStacks to experience the post-apocalyptic world on larger displays with precise keyboard and mouse controls.
