Once Human: How to Craft and Use Automatic Doors

Once Human: How to Craft and Use Automatic Doors

As a seasoned survival crafting RPG enthusiast with countless hours spent building and perfecting my bases in various games, I must say that Once Human has truly outdone itself with its automatic doors feature. The intricate process of creating these self-opening wonders is both challenging and rewarding, making me feel like a true master electrician.


Similar to many survival crafting RPGs, the game Once Human includes an intricate base-construction system, empowering players to develop distinctive and practical living areas. Initially, you’ll begin with a compact area, but as you advance, you can gradually extend it. The Build interface offers numerous choices for various structures, amenities, and ornaments to design a cozy home base.

Although it’s impossible to construct self-opening doors entirely from scratch, you can create mechanisms that mimic the function of automatic doors. This tutorial provides all the necessary information for building automated doors within the game “Once Human,” elevating your base to a new dimension.

In the information provided earlier, it’s clarified that Once Human doesn’t come equipped with self-opening doors. Instead, you’ll have to construct your own electrical circuit by combining various components. The process begins by activating both the Solar Generator and Electrical Kit, which are found in the Logistics tabs of the Memetics menu.

Next, you’ll need the following items to make an Automatic Door. Each one has a specific purpose:

Door Frame The basic structure of the Automatic Door.
Dynamic Sensor or Camera To detect movement or players near the door.
Pressure Plates Transforms physical pressure into an electrical signal which can serve as additional triggers to open the door.
Switchboard To control the door’s operation based on sensor input.
Power Source Preferably a Solar or Hydraulic Generator to power up the Dynamic Sensor and Pressure Plates.
Wall Terminals To connect the components together.

After gathering the necessary components, the true test lies ahead: arranging them appropriately to construct a fully operational automatic door. Here’s a step-by-step guide on building an automatic door using the ‘Once Human’ system:

  1. First, place the Door Frame where you want the Automatic Door at your base.
  2. Next, install two Pressure Plates on both sides of the door, making sure they’re directly connected to the door.
  3. Then, place two Switchboards on opposite sides of the wall near the Door. Use Wall Terminals to connect the switches to your Power Source. By default, the Switches are red but once powered up, they should turn Green.
  4. After the boards are connected, install two Dynamic Sensors or Cameras on both sides of the Door, making sure they have a clear view of the Pressure Plates. Again, use wires to connect the Dynamic Sensors to the Switchboards and Pressure Plates. Finally, connect the Pressure Plates on both sides to the door from their respective sides.
  5. With that, the circuit will be complete, and your Automatic Door will be ready for use.

How To Use The Automatic Door

If you’ve properly configured the circuit and ensured a steady power source, then the Automatic Door can function independently, responding automatically whenever someone or another player steps onto the pressure pad. This action sends a signal to either open or close the door.

With the aid of Camera sensors, the door will grant access exclusively to you and your comrades, preventing entry by Deviants and adversarial players. Moreover, an Automatic Door not only expedites your movement in and out of your base but also bolsters security.
