How to Craft All Pickaxes in Once Human

As a seasoned survivor in the post-apocalyptic world of Once Human, I can’t stress enough the importance of mastering the art of crafting pickaxes. These tools have been my lifeline, from mining essential ores to chopping wood for shelter and tools.


In the post-apocalyptic setting of “Once Human”, an abundance of useful materials such as ores, timber, and stones can be found for crafting a wide range of items including tools, shelters, weapons, and armor. A crucial item to gather these resources effectively is referred to as a mining tool or pickaxe. As you advance in “Once Human”, various types of pickaxes will become available, each with improved efficiency in resource collection.

Upgrading your pickaxe allows you to gather resources faster and sometimes, you’ll need a specific type of pickaxe to mine certain resources. There are six different types of Pickaxes in Once Human. Each of them has increased efficiency over the previous one, allowing you to chop wood and mine ore faster. Read on to learn how you can craft all the Pickaxes in Once Human.

Every pickaxe comes equipped with a wear-and-tear indicator known as the Durability meter. As you use it, this meter decreases until eventually the pickaxe breaks beyond repair. Unfortunately, once broken, you won’t be able to fix it – instead, you’ll need to create a new one every time that happens.
