Once Human News

[p]Dear Metas,[/p][p]In a post-apocalyptic world full of danger, everyone needs a safe territory of their own. Based on Metas’ feedback, we'll be optimizing Construction mode in the September 24(PT) update to address issues such as a cluttered interface and difficulty selecting the right components. The changes are as follows:[/p][p]1. Mirrored building components will no longer be listed as separate items. After the update, they will appear as a single option in the Build menu, with a corner mark to indicate they have a mirrored version.[/p][p]2. After selecting a component with the corner mark, you can press H to switch between its mirrored versions.[/p][p]NOTE: Don't worry, skins will not be affected by these changes.[/p][p]The detailed changes are as follows:[/p][p]We hope these changes will make construction a smoother and more intuitive process, and look forward to your incredible creations! We'll keep working on improvements to Construction mode, so please don't hesitate to send us feedback via the Co-Dev Feedback Platform, customer support, or our social channels.[/p][p][/p][p]Once Human Development Team[/p][p]

[p]Dear Metas,[/p][p]As Starfall Inversion nears its end, the Visional Wheel turns once more. A crimson moon will rise again, bringing its strange and dangerous power to Nalcott! Metas, are you ready?[/p][p]Here are the details for the new Visional Wheel:[/p][p]Visional Wheel: Lunar Revelry[/p][p]A crimson moon rises, enshrouding all realms in its light. A doom forever yet to come will descend once again. The Blood Moon will manipulate Nalcott for its amusement, provoking conflict among humans with tempting treasures. Only by defeating its avatar, the Lord of Moonlight, will you earn the ultimate reward.[/p][p][/p][p]Duration:[/p][p]Starts after the September 24(PT) update[/p][p]Ending time TBC[/p][p]Affected scenarios:[/p][p]Manibus (excluding novice), Evolution's Call, Prismverse's Clash, The Way of Winter, Endless Dream[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Survival Environment[/h2][p]Every day from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM (30 minutes in real time, double that of S0: Lunar Oracle), as day turns to night, the Blood Moon will rise over Nalcott. During this time, Deviants will grow stronger, and Metas will be infected with Lunacy, diminishing their Sanity.[/p][p][/p][h2]Lord of Moonlight[/h2][p]The Lord of Moonlight is the avatar of the Blood Moon itself. Its appearance is ever-changing, and it is far more powerful than the Lunarspawn upon whom it bestows life and madness. It has descended upon Nalcott to instigate conflict for its own pleasure and entertainment.[/p][p][/p][p]Rules:[/p][p]·       During a Blood Moon, you will be subject to the moon's gaze. When the gaze's intensity reaches a certain level, the Lord of Moonlight will take on your appearance and summon Lunarspawn to protect itself.[/p][p]·       On the verge of death, the Lord of Moonlight will use an Adrenaline Shot and summon clones to assist it in battle.[/p][p]·       In some cases, the Lord of Moonlight may even transform into a powerful Morphed Lord of Moonlight, which yields even better rewards when defeated.[/p][p]·       When the Lord of Moonlight defeats a Meta, it will level up and grow stronger, while also taking  Metas’ Lunar Whispers.

Tonight, under the moon, let the show begin![/p][p][/p][p]*This image is a preview; the final effect is subject to the in-game display.[/p][p][/p][p]Rules:[/p][p]·       The Blood Moon will divide Nalcott into sectors. Metas in each sector must band together to defeat the Lord of Moonlight. If you defeat the Lord of Moonlight within the event period, you will gain Lunar Essence, which you can submit to earn an equal number of sector points.[/p][p]·       To encourage participation and challenge their teamwork, there will be seven rounds of 1v1 trial matches between sectors. When submitting Lunar Essence, you can vote for a Lunar Omen to inflict the opposing sector. This will affect the abilities of their Lord of Moonlight. There are six Lunar Omens in total. The more Lunar Essence your sector submits, the stronger the omen's effects. The three Lunar Omens with the most votes will take effect in the opposing sector, creating different levels of difficulty.[/p][p]·       Each round of matches lasts one week. The sector that earns the most sector points during this time will earn 1 victory point. Unite to resist the Blood Moon and receive the ultimate glory![/p][p]* As the Lord of Moonlight is a formidable opponent, sectors will be divided by time zone (region) to make it easier for you to challenge it together. You can check your sector on the event screen.[/p][p][/p][h2]Lunatic Medley Event[/h2][p]Collect Lunar Whispers to unlock awesome rewards, including new weapon skins, and collectibles.

Together with Crescent mods, they'll be included in a mod selection crate for you to choose.[/p][p][/p][h2]Oracle Crate[/h2][p]Participate in Blood Moon game modes to acquire special items, recipes, formulas, Lunar and Crescent mod selection crates, Lunar animals, and Morphed Deviations.[/p][p]NOTE:[/p][p]Explore strongholds and defeat Lunarspawn to open Oracle Crates, which may contain these returning Blood Moon Morphed Deviations: Lonewolf's Whisper, Festering Gel, Snowsprite, By-the-Wind, Zeno-Purifier, and Pyro Dino.[/p][p]Take part in the Lord of Moonlight game mode to open Oracle Crates, which may contain three new Blood Moon Deviations: Electric Eel, Atomic Snail, and ZapCam.[/p][h2][/h2][p][/p][h2]Basic Blood Moon Rules[/h2][p]Lunacy[/p][p]·       Lunacy causes you to steadily lose Sanity, down to a minimum of 20%, when outside your territory.

However, gathering resources in the wilderness may trigger Deviant attacks.[/p][p]Wilderness Changes[/p][p]·       Deviants in the wilderness will go berserk, growing more aggressive and dealing increased damage. Unique Blood Moon enemies will also appear in settlements to hunt Metas.[/p][p]·       Hidden Oracle Crates will appear in settlements, requiring a certain number of Lunar Whispers to open.[/p][p][/p][h2]Returning Survival Items[/h2][p]Survival items from Lunar Oracle will make their return, including Lunacy Stimulant, Lunacy Suppressant, and the Unusual Braised Meat and Roulette Dumplings recipes.[/p][p][/p][p]1.
