Once Human Resources Guide | Crafting Materials List

Our guide will tell you how to get all of the Once Human resources you'll need for crafting including Tin Ore, Standard Part, and more!

A big part of Once Human is crafting the items you need and building up your base, but you can't just make something out of nothing — you'll need all sorts of crafting resources to create these items. Read on to learn where to find the basic resources you'll need!

How to Get Crafting Resources in Once Human

There are five ways to get crafting resources in Once Human:

1. Gathering Raw Materials: Some items (such as Logs) are most easily acquired by gathering them in the natural world.
2. Processing Raw Materials: Certain crafting resources need to be refined from raw resources. For instance, you can turn Logs into Charcoal at a Furnace, and that's the easiest way to get Charcoal.
3. Disassembling Scrap: Once you get the Disassembly Bench, you can turn the random Scrap you find (such as Ballpoint Pens, Staplers, Toilet Plungers, etc.) into other resources such as Adhesive, Shabby Fabric, Rusted Parts, and the like.
4. Killing enemies: You can get certain resources (such as Acid) by killing enemies. Naturally, different enemies drop different types of resources; as an example, the human bandits you'll encounter in Level 10+ areas will drop Gunpowder instead of Acid.
5. Completing Tasks: Completing Story Tasks (or Tasks found throughout the world) may reward you with some resources.

Once Human Resources List | How to Get Crafting Materials

Here are all of the Once Human Resources we've found thus far and where you can get them. We'll also list which items can be put into a Disassembly Bench to get you these resources and how much of each resource you get from disassembling it.

Note that most items you put into a Disassembly Bench will give you multiple resources. For example, Disassembling a Toilet Plunger will give you 2 Metal Scraps, 2 Rubber, and 1 Adhesive.

Copper Ore can be found all throughout the world; all you need to do is look for the rocks with yellowish crystals sticking out of them.

Disassembly Bench Sources: Ammo Pack (2), Basketball (2), Book (1), Camouflage Bag (3), Old Currency (2), Satchel (3), Shirt (3), Swimming Ring (2)

How to Get Silver Ore

Disassembly Bench Sources: N/A

Silver Ore is a rare resource that can be found throughout the world as far as we can tell. You might find one ore vein within an entire zone if you're fortunate. It looks similar to Tin Ore, so make sure to understand the differences between the two before ignoring them!

As with Tin Ore, you won't be able to harvest Tin Ore unless you have a Copper Pickaxe.

How to Get Sulfur

Disassembly Bench Sources: N/A

Sulfur can be found throughout the world of Once Human; it can be found in the rocks with yellow powder on them.

You won't need Sulfur for much in the early game, but it forms a critical component of Gunpowder. You're going to need a fair amount of Sulfur to craft your own ammo once you start making guns!

---

How to Get Tin Ore

Disassembly Bench Sources: N/A

You can get Tin Ore by exploring areas rated for Level 10 and higher. Tin Ore has roughly the same shape as Copper Ore, but it has a grey color. The closest (and safest) area you can get it is the parts of Broken Delta rated for Level 12, across the river to the southwest of Deadsville.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to harvest Tin Ore until you've unlocked the Copper Pickaxe and crafted it.

---

Disassembly Bench Sources: Blanket (1), Gardening Shears (3), Glue (1), Paint Brush (2), Plastic Card (3), Steel Piliers (2), Water Bottle (2), Wrench (4)
