Once Human New Version Is Live! Starfire Festival Rewards Are Here!
Once Human's brand new version is now live! Multiple modes to choose from! Rewards to claim non-stop! PC and mobile data sync free to play!
The rules of Nalcott are not set in stone—and this time, you will be the ones rewriting them. Since Custom Servers launched, we've been amazed by the fantastic server ecosystems Metas have created. Now, to give Server Hosts even more freedom and help you build a post-apocalyptic world with your own personal style, the May 13 (PT) update will introduce two major additions to Custom Servers: custom gear and items, plus upgraded exclusive rewards.
After the May 13 (PT) update, Server Hosts can customize gear and items under Server Settings → Gameplay Settings.
Note: Available customization options will depend on the scenario type you choose. Gameplay Settings will continue to receive regular updates, so please check the in-game descriptions for the latest details.
1. Custom Weapon Settings: Start with an existing weapon, then adjust its stats, reset its traits, and add extra effects. With that, you can create a special weapon made exclusively for your world!
Customizable options include: weapon name, required level, max Durability, Attack, Fire Rate bonus for firearms, magazine capacity for firearms, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Weakspot DMG, core weapon trait, and 4 additional passive effect slots.
2. Custom Armor Settings: Start with existing armor, then adjust its stats, reset its base effect, and add extra effects. With dozens of effects to choose from, you can mix and match to create armor sets with very different styles.
Customizable options include: armor name, required level, max Durability, HP, pollution resistance for non-RaidZone scenarios, Psi Intensity for non-RaidZone scenarios, Force for RaidZone scenarios, base effect, and 4 passive effect slots.
3. Custom Consumables: This update will also add customization for food, medicine, and drinks. Server Hosts can give them unique names and combine multiple effects to create stacked benefits.
Once customization is complete, Server Hosts can deploy these items through any supported Custom Server distribution settings. This includes enemy drops, supply crate drops, starting backpacks, one-time tip gift packs, in-server shops, leaderboard rewards, Server Host Functions → Add Item, and more. Custom items will be clearly marked in the distribution menu, making them easy to find and distribute.
With greater freedom comes greater pressure on server calculations. To keep Custom Servers stable over the long term and protect server data, this update will introduce a Settings Value capacity system. Each custom setting you add will take up a certain amount of Settings Value based on its data complexity. Once the total reaches the system's safety limit, no additional special settings can be added.
If you run out of capacity, simply reset lower-priority custom items to their default state to free up the corresponding Settings Value. We'll also keep optimizing server performance and will consider raising the capacity limit based on live server conditions, giving you even more room to create.
Since Custom Servers launched, we've continued expanding customization options and creative freedom. At the same time, we've also been thinking about how to help Server Hosts earn even more rewards. Since the Community Creation Program went live last December, it has already shared hundreds of thousands of RMB in rewards with Server Hosts, and we're thrilled to see that progress. But we know there's still more we can do. A thriving ecosystem is built on every active Custom Server, so to better reward and thank Server Hosts for their contributions, we're launching a new Exclusive Rewards Event. The original Community Creation Program will remain unchanged, and on top of that, a generous new prize pool will be up for grabs!
Event Period: May 13 – May 27 (PT)
Event Rules: All active Custom Server Hosts during the event period will be enrolled automatically. To take part, simply keep building and managing your server while raising its Activity Index. The higher your server's Activity Index, the larger your share of the prize pool will be. So start building, promoting, and growing your own world!
* For more event details, go to Custom Server → Community Creation Program → Events after the update.
* Server Hosts can view their Activity Index under Custom Server → Community Creation Program → Data.
That concludes this Dev Blog. Thank you for your attention, and we sincerely invite you to give Custom Servers a try. Whether you're an experienced server host or an eager newcomer, do join the official Custom Server channel on our Discord:https://discord.gg/OnceHuman
