Once Human News

Dear Metas,
Since the official release of Once Human version 1.4.4, we have been gathering community feedback and actively addressing your concerns. Here are the latest fixes we have implemented:
1. Fixed an issue where the Hotbar could not be used in Clean Mode under certain conditions.
2. Fixed an issue where server lag would occur when a large number of Metas gathered in the same area.
3. Fixed an issue where some returning Metas were unable to log in properly.
4. Fixed an issue where creating a new character as a returning Meta caused incorrect main/alt account recognition in the cross-character sharing system.
5. Fixed an issue where some Metas on permanent servers could not purify Nova Deviations.
6. Fixed an issue where using the Mrwish Rocket Launcher in Securement Silos EX1 caused abnormal status effects on Sennacherib.
7. Added a dynamic difficulty system for Lunarspawns: Their HP and damage now decrease when fewer Metas are nearby, and they gain enhanced attributes and the ability to summon multiple Deviations when more than 3 Metas are nearby.
8. Made adjustments and fixed issues in Pollution Zones:
1) Fixed an issue where Metas with full Sanity could still be attacked by Fools, and where Fools would continue attacking even when facing a Meta.
2) Improved Fool animation speed; they now fall to the ground instead of instantly blacking out and returning after taking damage, allowing for better combat response.
3) Public Crisis Events will no longer spawn Fools, and their Contamination has been reduced. This change addresses performance issues and aligns with risk-reward design principles.
9. Fixed an issue where item Durability would not update correctly when items were discarded.
10. Fixed an issue where arrows embedded in monsters would not be retrieved when using Auto Take.

[h3]Pre‑Download Process[/h3]
1. When you reach the login screen you'll be randomly assigned to a character‑creation‑only server.
Note: The pre-creation server is just for pre-creating and customizing characters. After the mobile launch, you can pick any official server to start playing.
Tap "Enter Game" to start creating your character.
2. Customize your character's look however you like—you can even bring back familiar faces like Aleksei and Rachel! Check out the "Meta-Human Recommendations" in the bottom-left corner for even more surprises.
Note: Once you save your customized appearance, you can return and adjust it anytime during the pre-download phase. Your saved appearance will carry over into the official release's customization screen.



3、After perfecting your look, press "Save and Preview" to see your style in action. Freely combine cool Fashion items and adorable Deviations to show off your style!



4. Strike a pose and press "Save and Share" to capture the moment! With one tap#OnceHuman #oncehumanmobile, post it on social media. We'll be there to give you a like!
Customization Data Transfer Process at Official Release
Once the game officially releases, go to the scenario selection screen, pick your server and scenario, then tap "Create Character." We'll prompt you to confirm whether you want to inherit your pre-created character. Choose "Confirm" to carry it over, or choose "Cancel" if you want a fresh start and create a new one from scratch.
Note: Canceling will wipe your pre-creation data, so make your choice carefully!

Device Requirements
Check the table below for recommended device specs. If you plan to download all game content, it's advised to reserve 25-30 GB of storage. The game supports partial data downloads so you can prioritize the content you wish to experience first.



Mobile device optimization is still ongoing. Some models may fall short of our target performance for now, so we strongly recommend using a device that meets or exceeds the specs listed above. We'll keep fine‑tuning compatibility to make sure more Metas can enjoy a smooth mobile experience.

Dear Metas,
The mobile version of Once Human will officially launch on April 24, 2025. To help you log in smoothly, we have prepared a visual guide and FAQ.
Launch Times by Region:


Server Access Flowchart:


Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I enter the game?
A: After April 24, 2025 at 8:00 AM, you can quickly enter the game by tapping Log In on the server selection screen.


Q: Which servers can I choose?
A: On the server selection screen, tap More Servers to open the server list and choose a server. We recommend selecting a server from the Novice list. The selection column and description column on the left are as follows:
Novice Servers recommended for beginners. These scenarios have lower difficulty.
Manibus (Novice) List of all novice scenario servers
Manibus, The Way of Winter, Evolution's Call, Prismverse's Clash List of non-novice scenario servers


Q: Why are there so many servers on the server list?
A: The PC version launched on July 10, 2024 and servers are cross-platform, so all previously opened servers are on the list. We recommend joining a newly opened server.
You can also find and join servers that your friends are in, so don't worry about getting separated.

Q: Will there be player caps or server queues?
A: We have prepared enough servers to meet player demand and will promptly address any unexpected issues.
However, to ensure an immersive and balanced experience, we limit the number of players on each server. If a server is full, you can join other recommended servers, or use a friend's invitation code to gain access. Note that the availability of invitation slots is also limited.

Q: What if I joined the wrong server, but have already made purchases?
A: Once Human features multi-character sharing for premium items. Paid items will be synchronized across all characters on your account.

Q: Are there mobile-only servers?
A: On the server selection screen, check the Mobile Only option to display mobile-only servers. Mobile-only servers cannot be accessed on PC, even if you signed up for them using the mobile version.

Below are the new server IDs available during the mobile launch. Subsequent servers will be numbered in sequence.


If you encounter any issues, please reach out to us on social media or the Co-Dev Feedback Platform. Thank you for your support!

Dear Metas, the moment we've all been waiting for is finally here! To help you get started, we've put together answers to the most frequently asked questions:

Pre-Download Time:
https://www.oncehuman.game/news/update/20250423/40780_1229512.html
Official Release Time:
https://www.oncehuman.game/news/update/20250423/40780_1229512.html

1. Is account data shared between mobile and PC?
Absolutely! The upcoming mobile release supports cross-platform data sync with the PC version, allowing you to freely switch between devices. Follow the instructions below for a seamless experience:



2. What are the mobile version's system requirements and how much storage should I prepare?
Check the table below for recommended device specs. If you plan to download all game content, it's advised to reserve 25-30 GB of storage. The game supports partial data downloads so you can prioritize the content you wish to experience first.



Mobile device optimization is still ongoing. Some models may fall short of our target performance for now, so we strongly recommend using a device that meets or exceeds the specs listed above. We'll keep fine‑tuning compatibility to make sure more Metas can enjoy a smooth mobile experience.

3. What UI and control improvements have been made on mobile?
We aim to give mobile players the same high-quality experience as on PC, while tailoring the interface to phone‑friendly gestures. Our guiding principle is "streamlined, never stripped‑down." Here's how we adapted the PC's complex systems for mobile:
1)Dynamic radial menu
Key features, like Backpack and Build, pop up instantly through a radial menu, reducing interface layers.
2)Smart assist
While gathering, the game auto‑suggests the right tool. Nearby loot is picked up automatically. Combat includes gentle aim‑assist with manual fine‑tune. You can enable Auto-Fire (scope‑only or global) so the weapon shoots as soon as your aim locks onto a target.
3)Modular HUD
You can customize the entire layout or hide non‑essential elements to boost immersion.
 
4. What should I do if the game crashes or won't let me log in?
Crash fixes
Basic checks
1)Close other apps that might be eating memory (video, streaming, etc.).
2)Quit the game completely or restart your phone, then try again.
3)Make sure at least 4 GB of storage (iOS/Android) remains free after installation.
4)On the login screen, tap Compatibility Check. If your model fails, consider upgrading or switching devices.

Advanced checks
1)Game-related repair: On the login screen, tap Repair Client.
2)Clear the game cache:
Android: Settings → Apps → Game → Storage → Clear Cache.
iOS: Delete and reinstall the app (link your account to keep your data).
3)Confirm your OS version: iOS 12 +  / Android 8.0 +  / HarmonyOS 3.0.0 +.
4)Turn off power‑saving mode; it may affect performance.
5)Disable any accelerators or VPNs; they can conflict with the game.
6)Uninstall, clear residual files, and reinstall from the official store.

Login issues
Checks:
1)If you joined an earlier test, delete the old test build first.
2)If you never joined a test, capture a screenshot/video of the error message and note the steps leading up to it.

5. What should I do if the game lags?
1)Performance optimization tips
To improve overall smoothness, fine‑tune these settings:
Lower graphics quality: Settings → Graphics → select "Battery Saver" or "Smooth."
Disable effects: Settings → Graphics → adjust "Special Effect Toggle", "Shadow Quality", and "Other Players."
Cap the frame rate: Settings → Graphics → set FPS cap to "Low" or "Medium."
Adjust resolution: Settings → Graphics → set Resolution to "Low" or "Medium," or enable Adaptive Graphics.
2)Device and system optimizations
The following device and system optimization steps can also help improve performance:
Thermal management: Avoid playing while charging and consider using a cooling attachment for your phone.
Disable system animations: In developer options, adjust window and transition animation scales to 0.5x or turn them off completely.
Update drivers and OS: Ensure you're using the latest version of your phone's operating system.
3)Network checks
Lag can also be network‑related. Try the following steps:
Switch networks: Alternate between Wi‑Fi/4G/5G.
Latency check: If in‑game ping > 100 ms, consider using a network accelerator.

6. Where can I send feedback or get support when I encounter issues?
If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, contact us via the feedback channel or in‑game Customer Support (see the screenshot below for its location). Thank you for your understanding and support.





Once Human Development Team

Dear Metas,
We'll be taking the servers offline for maintenance on April 22 at 16:00 (PT) to roll out Version 1.5.1. Downtime is expected to last roughly three hours (the actual duration may differ). Please plan your play‑time accordingly. When maintenance ends, mobile pre‑download opens on the official site. Mobile login becomes available on April 23 at 17:00 (PT) with data shared between PC and mobile.
This update brings a new Bicycle vehicle, new reward events, optimizations, and bug fixes. New scenarios and the Visional Wheel will arrive in May. Stay tuned!
Below are the details of this update:

[h2]New Content[/h2]
[h3]New Vehicle: Bicycle[/h3]
Build a Bicycle in the Vehicle Garage (unlocked via the "Vehicle Garage" Memetic) and hit the stunt stage!
Solo Stunts: Let Your Creativity Soar!
Ride full throttle into the air and pull off insane spins and flips midair! Whether you're pulling 360s or extreme airtime, every trick you land could make you a legend!




Multiplayer Stunts: The Ultimate Test of Friendship!
Who says stunts can only be done solo? You can now stack up to 5 passengers on the back of your Bicycle for some completely unhinged group stunting action!




[h3]New Wilderness Character Standing Actions[/h3]
We've added a new feature that lets you showcase your character's standing actions in the wilderness! You'll find this feature in the Actions tab, and it supports exclusive actions from Legendary cosmetic sets. We've also added a batch of universal standing actions to give you even more ways to express yourself.


[h3]New Construction Block Structures[/h3]
Added half‑size square foundations, ceilings, and walls; roofs with shallower angles; lower stairs; and mirrored left‑right stair variants.
The changes are as follows:

• Wood Stairs 03/04/05 are now Left-Side Wood Stairs 03/04/05.
  
• Reinforced Stairs 03/04/05 are now Left-Side Reinforced Stairs 03/04/05.
  
• Steel & Wood Stairs 03/04/05 are now Left-Side Steel & Wood Stairs 03/04/05.
  
• Added Right-Side Wood Stairs 03/04/05, which will unlock alongside their left-side counterparts in the Memetics.
  
• Added Right-Side Reinforced Stairs 03/04/05, which will unlock alongside their left-side counterparts in the Memetics.
  
• Added Right-Side Steel & Wood Stairs 03/04/05, which will unlock alongside their left-side counterparts in the Memetics.
  
• Half‑size materials unlock at the corresponding Small Support and Small Roof nodes.
  
• Added 1/2 Wood Parapet, 1/2 Stone Parapet, 1/2 Concrete Parapet, 1/2 Small Parapet (Parapets 04/05/06).
  

[h2]New Features[/h2]
[h3]New Blueprint Rating Rules for Novice Server Scenarios[/h3]
When you finish a scenario and enter a novice server, blueprint star ratings are limited, and those limits are relaxed as the scenario advances. For example, R500 - Memento is capped at 3 stars in Phase 1, 4 stars in Phase 2, and 5 stars in Phase 3.
* Once character data is shared across your account, veteran players who join novice servers could end up with a major stats advantage. To ensure fairness, we've introduced this restriction. That said, we understand the true strength of seasoned Metas lies not in numbers, but in their experience and skill. Since novice scenario servers are PVE-only and don't involve PvP combat, we sincerely hope all players can collaborate, grow together, and help build a welcoming community across Nalcott. Thanks for being a part of it!
[h3]New Item: Capybara Beans[/h3]
Everyone's favorite capybaras are now carrying mysterious jelly beans, each with a surprise inside! Whether tame or wild, capybaras will occasionally drop Capybara Beans when idle. Try them out and discover their various effects!

[h3]New Feature: Team Lobby[/h3]
We've added a new team lobby for squad sign-up! Now you can browse all active sign-up squads on your server, making it easier than ever to find the right squad to join.

[h2]New Events[/h2]

  Unlimited uses during the trial. Show off your unique style!

• After the update, remaining time across all characters will be combined into your account's current Meta Pass duration, and can now exceed the previous 180-day cap. (For example: if Character A has 100 days left, B has 150, and C has 30, your account's new total will be 280 days.)

• After your current Meta Pass is upgraded, you will receive a Crystgin refund based on the remaining Meta Pass validity days of all your characters, as per the new version's Crystgin refund rules. For example, if you have two Meta Passes with 100 (equivalent to four Meta Passes) and 50 days (equivalent to two Meta Passes), your rebate will be 180 Crystgin.
  
• Note: You must log in with each character to receive the Crystgin rebate for their existing Meta Passes.
  
• All unclaimed Mitsuko's Marks from the old Meta Pass will be sent separately to each eligible character via in-game mail. After that, you can begin claiming the daily reward crate with any character, but limited to one per account per day.

1. Added a "Resource Points" feature to the item inheritance list to support more strategic planning when switching scenarios.
2. Added a "Quick Inherit" feature. Metas can now inherit items using preset plans or customize their own. Be sure to review the items to be inherited before confirming to make the most of your Resource Points!
[h3]Social[/h3]
1. Optimized the blacklist feature. Blacklisted players cannot send you voice or chat messages, friend requests, or team requests.
2. Adjusted facility interaction permissions in territories to be disabled by default. Existing permission settings will remain unchanged. For those who haven't set permissions before, you'll need to re-enable them after the update.
3. Added online status display to the Friends List.
4. Added a "Nearby Players" list to the Regional Channel, based on your character's coordinates in the wilderness.
5. If the Hive leader is inactive for 30 days, leadership will transfer to an eligible online member. Here's how the new leader is chosen:

• The new leader must have been in the Hive for over 24 hours.
  
• The new leader must have logged in within the last 30 days. Selection is based on level and the time they joined the squad. If levels are the same, the member who joined earlier will become the new leader.
  

[h3]Construction[/h3]
1. To improve territory selection for new Metas, the starting territory size in the Manibus (novice) scenario has been adjusted from 28.8 to 21.6. Other scenarios' territory sizes remain unchanged.
2. Optimized water pipes and production facilities.
Detailed improvements include:
1) Smart Output Management
The Water Pump and Rainwater Collection System now allow you to select their outputs. Available outputs are dependent on the resources of the current region.
Refining Facilities and Water Filters now feature conversion lists, making it easier to view and select desired outputs.


2) Automatic Part
Refining Facilities now support connection to Water Pumps. Water Tanks can be connected to water pipes, and Brewing Barrels can be linked to Water Tanks, enabling full automation from production to conversion to storage.
Water Tanks now support automatic intake and storage of Impure Acid, Acid, Barreled Crude Oil, Portable Mixed Fuel, and Barreled Premium Fuel.
Automatic Irrigation Facilities now only support Purified Water, and is fully compatible with automated setups.


3 Formula Integration and Adjustment
Brewing Barrel formulas have been streamlined: Corn Ale and Malt Ale have been moved to the Advanced Stove. Plant-based acid formulas have been moved to the Large Synthesis Bench. Brewing Barrels now only support the formula: Purified Water + Impure Acid = Acid.


4) Other Facility Adjustments
Refining Facilities and Brewing Barrels now support pipe connections.
Refrigerators now display both input materials and output results in the ice-making interface.
Compost Bins and Meat Driers now use queue-based crafting, allowing you to preview all craftable items.
The Stardust Water Pump and Icebreaking Water Pump have been renamed to Stardust Refinery and Cold Crystal Ore Refinery respectively, with their Memetics and descriptions updated accordingly.
5) Compensation Mechanism
Facility output calculations while players are away from their territory have been improved for greater precision and fairness.
After the update, any items remaining in affected facilities will be transferred to the temporary storage of the Vault for collection.
6) Usability Adjustments
To help Metas better manage production pipelines and understand final output flow, some production rules have been simplified. Facilities like the Rainwater Collection System now only produce one type of resource at a time. For facilities that originally produced multiple resources simultaneously, production time has been proportionally shortened to maintain overall efficiency.
