"How to Get and Use the Wish Machine in Once Human"

Author : Hannah May 20,2025

The highly 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 been one of the most wishlisted games among fans of the genre. Central to the gameplay is the Wish Machine, a key feature that allows players to obtain crucial blueprints for weapons, gear, and other survival essentials, enriching the experience in the game's post-apocalyptic landscape. This guide offers a detailed look at the Wish Machine, covering how to unlock, construct, and effectively use it.

How to Unlock the Wish Machine

Unlocking the Wish Machine is designed to be straightforward, encouraging players to engage with it early on. Progress through the main storyline quests, and you'll encounter the Wish Machine during the main quest line at the Greywater Camp in the Iron River section. Once you've found it, interact with the machine to decide whether to transfer it to your base or craft it using the following resources:

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

After collecting these materials, you can construct the Wish Machine in your territory. Access the building menu under Facilities > Function Facility to set it up.

Using the Wish Machine involves spending starchrom: a single draw costs 500 starchrom, while a 10-pull requires 5000 starchrom. Confirm your choice to initiate the process, which starts with a mini-game where you hit a llama with a mallet. The outcome of hitting the llama doesn't affect your reward, but you must make the hit. If you'd rather skip the game, use the "bypass Cutscene" button to proceed directly.

Tips for Using the Wish Machine to Your Benefit

While the Wish Machine's mechanics are simple, players can maximize their efficiency by considering the following tips:

  • Evaluating Costs: The mini-game involves a chance-based system, but purchasing desired blueprints directly from the Blueprint Shop can be more economical, especially for high-tier items.

  • Budgeting Starchrom: With starchrom being a limited resource, focus your spending on blueprints essential to your preferred playstyle.

  • Understanding Probability: Keep in mind that the rewards from the mini-game are randomized. If you're after 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 BlueStacks on their PC or laptop, coupled with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
