The Storage Battery in Once Human is an item meant to store and deliver electrical energy for advanced tools and structures throughout the game. This item is also important for operating larger, automated systems such as logging and mining platforms that help players collect resources more efficiently.
As Once Human revolves around base building and resource control, a reliable energy supply is crucial for defending your base and producing high-tech gear. Our guide explains how to get Storage Batteries in Once Human to maintain energy flow.
How To Craft Storage Batteries in Once Human
To unlock the Storage Battery recipe in Once Human, you first need to access the Memetics tree by pressing “I” on your keyboard. From there, navigate to the Logistics tab, which contains various crafting and development nodes.
Look for the third row, where the Electrical Kit node is located, as this node will unlock the Storage Battery recipe. Ensure you unlock the Solar Generator node before doing that to progress in this crafting tree.
Once that is done, you can unlock the Electrical Kit by spending 5-7 Ciphers and around 2000 Energy Links. After unlocking it, the Storage Battery recipe will become available for crafting.
Once the recipe is unlocked, gather these specific materials to craft the Storage Battery:
- Steel Ingots (15x) - Steel Ingots are made using Iron Ore, which can be found in places like the Iron River or Highlands. These ores are smelted using a Furnace or an Electric Furnace along with Charcoal.
- Rubber (20x) - Rubber can be gathered by scavenging items made from rubber (e.g., dismantling tires from abandoned vehicles). Another option is using the Disassembly Bench to break down junk that contains rubber.
- Acid (20x) - Acid can be obtained from two primary methods—farming zombies (higher-level enemies yield more Acid) or crafting it using an Acid Plant or Osmosis Water Purifier at your base. You can also trade for Acid at specific vending machines found in areas like Blackfell.
- Electronic Parts (10x) - These parts are typically found in loot crates, particularly in locations like Blackfell, or can be scavenged from machines and electronic scrap.
As long as you have these materials, you can keep crafting Storage Batteries at the Intermediate Supplies Workbench (or an advanced workbench, depending on your setup. Ensure you have sufficient space to operate this large crafting station, as it will be necessary for assembling the battery.
Crafting the Storage Battery allows you to power key tools like chainsaws and electric drills, which are essential for cutting down trees and mining efficiently.
Storage batteries are equally important for running automated resource-gathering platforms and streamlining many labor-intensive tasks. This will ensure your survival over time and keep you from being overwhelmed by the world’s harsh conditions.
