To optimize resource runs in Once Human, coordinate team roles based on character classes and leverage shared Deviations for efficiency.

Setting Up for Co-op Resource Runs

Before embarking on a co-op resource expedition, ensure your team is well-prepared:

prerequisites

  • Choose character classes strategically: Beastmaster for aiding animal-related tasks, Gardener for enhancing plant resource management, and Chef for improving food production.
  • Align roles based on the specific resources you aim to gather during the expedition.
  • Plan Deviation abilities in advance to cover vital tasks such as mining and carrying capacity, ensuring a balanced setup for the team.

Effective Expedition Strategies

Employ these strategies for maximum efficiency on your expeditions:

steps

  1. Map out the target regions in Nalcott based on resource types—forests for wood, cities for salvageable parts, and so on.
  2. Monitor public events and anomalies for opportunities to collect rare resources.
  3. Ensure your team uses gliders and available vehicles for faster transportation between selected resource-rich zones.

Leveraging Deviations to Aid Gathering

Deviations can significantly enhance your resource-gathering efforts:

  • Use mining-oriented Deviations to streamline the extraction process, saving time and energy.
  • Properly store unused Deviations in display cabinets to maintain a varied set of abilities for future expeditions.
  • Combat-focused Deviations can be deployed to manage hazards efficiently while your team gathers resources.
