How to farm resources in Once Human

• Killing enemies: Certain materials will drop from enemies depending on their level and their type.
• Completing tasks: After completing Story Tasks you’ll get rewarded with a huge amount of materials.
• Disassembling Scrap: If you’re the type who grabs anything they can in a map, using the Disassembling Bench will certainly provide you with a huge stock of resources.
• Crafting Raw Materials: After gathering Raw Materials scattered throughout the map, you can refine them using utilities like Furnace, Stove, and more.

There are four different methods for you to get resources in Once Human, besides collecting items you find on the map.

The best you can do is to stick to the method that best suits your playstyle. For example, if you’re more into scavenging every item, you should stick to using the Disassembling Bench. But combining all these methods will get you stacks of materials.
