Once Human is a post-apocalyptic open-world survival game that tasks players to navigate a chaotic world.
This beginner's tips and tricks guide will help you get started. They also help you learn what to focus on when starting the game. You have a choice to either tackle these challenges alone or with a group of other people.
There are various missions that you can complete for useful rewards. The game also has several regions that you can explore. It features many hidden secrets that you can uncover while traveling.
Locate a Safe Haven
One of the first things that you should prioritize in Once Human is finding your own space. This is a safe haven where you can relax and prepare for your explorations. It can also hold various items and be where you build your crafting tables, according to TheGamer.
A tip for choosing an area is that it should be close enough to a variety of resources, including logs and ores. These are very useful in mass when you begin building your base and crafting workbenches.
You should also make sure that your base is located somewhere with a reliable food source. Deer are a good way to get meat but you can also make a base near a fishing spot if you want to.

Use Memetics To Unlock Technologies
Once Human lets players unlock various crafting recipes in the Memetics menu. You can access this under the Memetics - Cradle tab by pressing "K." You should regularly check on this tab and update it to gain access to new technologies.
You have four fields with skill trees that can be opened up; Infrastructure, Crafting, Logistics, and Building. You unlock these by using Meme Points or Ciphers and Energy Links. You can earn Ciphers when you level up, complete season challenges, and catch new Deviations.
Energy Links can be acquired by completing commissions and tasks as well as clearing various dungeons in the game.
Save Up on Stardust Source
One of the most important resources in Once Human is Stardust Source which can be used to calibrate weapons and gear. You need a lot of these to craft armor-piercing ammunition, biomass, and plasma missiles, DualShockers said.
Hold off on calibrating items if you are not yet using high-tier weapons or gear. This process consumes a lot of Stardust Source that you can use elsewhere. Storing a lot of resources in the early game will make the late game easier to manage.
Look for Communication Towers
After finishing the tutorial, you should head towards the nearest Communication Tower that you can see. These act like the game's fast travel points that will save you a lot of time and effort moving around.
Communication Towers are also relatively easy to locate as they can be seen on the map with their own unique mark. You can activate the tower when you get to it so that you can fast-travel between towers or from your home base to a tower, according to IGN.
