Once Human: How to Get & Use Vending Machine

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent in survival games, I can confidently say that Once Human has taken the genre to new heights with its meta-human survival mechanics and the addition of Vending Machines. The thrill of scavenging for resources, crafting weapons, and forming alliances is heightened by the prospect of trading with other players.


In Once Human, not only will you be battling for survival, but you’ll also have the opportunity to live as a meta-human. As a meta-human, your days will consist of scavenging for resources, manufacturing weapons, and joining forces with other players. To amplify your adventure, trading with fellow gamers is an option. However, to begin exchanging goods, you must acquire a Vending Machine first. Keep reading this tutorial to discover the steps to obtain and utilize this essential facility.

How to Unlock a Vending Machine

A Vending Machine is a valuable addition as it enables you to trade goods with other players. To utilize this machine, begin by navigating to the Memetics menu and then selecting the Logistics tab. Look for the vending machine technology, which can be yours for 700 Energy Links and five Ciphers once unlocked.

Energy Links can be acquired by completing commissions, quests, or opening chests.

How to Craft a Vending Machine

After accessing the memetic, you can now construct it in your main base. To initiate this, hit the B key to enter build mode, then click right to open the build menu. Make your way to the Facilities tab in the build menu. In this tab, locate the Vending Machine under the Function Facility category.

Materials required for crafting a Vending Machine are:

  • 20x Steel Ingot
  • 10x Copper Ingot
  • 8x Standard Parts
  • 3x Electronic Parts
  • 6x Glass

Based on my personal experience, I strongly advise you not to overlook the importance of providing the Vending Machine with adequate power. With my past encounters with similar appliances, I can tell you from experience that a lack of power can lead to frustration and disappointment. So, please do remember that this machine needs 2 watts to function properly. To ensure a smooth operation, make sure to connect it securely to a reliable power source using suitable wires. Trust me, taking these precautions will save you the hassle and potential annoyance of dealing with a malfunctioning Vending Machine.

How to Use a Vending Machine

Once the vending machine is constructed, engage with it by pressing the “F” key to bring up its menu. On the left side of the screen, you’ll see a list of all the items you have in your possession. The vending machine’s shelves are located on the right, where you can put items to be sold.

To use the machine, select any item that you want to sell, choose the desired quantity, and set the price. Here, you have the option to select between Item Exchange (exchange your item for another one) or Energy Links (setting a price in currency). Once you are done with pricing, select Put Up For Sale or click F to add that item to the vending machine’s shelves.

How to Attract Customers to the Vending Machine

To get the best results from your Vending Machine, it’s essential to draw in customers. You can achieve this by effectively promoting your machine. To publicize it, click on the gear icon next to “Enter Advertisement.” This action will open up an option for you to compose an appealing tagline for your vending machine.

Based on my own experience and observing successful businesses, I strongly believe that crafting a compelling and concise slogan is crucial for attracting customers, especially when you have limited characters to work with. With only 30 characters at your disposal, every word counts. A catchy and promising slogan can make your business stand out on the game map and pique the interest of potential customers. So take your time, brainstorm some ideas, and create a slogan that truly represents your brand and resonates with your audience. Trust me, it’s worth the effort!
