Located in the southern region of Broken Delta, this settlement is right next to the shore, which makes it a good source of Polluted Water. You can also loot some Beryllium Crystals and plastic from the crates that spawn in this region. The recommended level for this location is 12, but you can come here even at lower levels.

8) Merlin Isle Frontier

Vehicles in Once Human require Barreled Premium Fuel to function.

This is a PvP zone so beware of the other survivors while you are out hunting for fuel in this location.

In Deadsville, players encounter key characters like Lowe, who play a significant role throughout the storyline until the final missions.

This location in Dayton Wetlands is not only a good place to loot some crops, but here you have a chance to meet and capture your very first friendly deviant other than the paper butterfly, Buzzy Bee. If you put this deviant in the Secrument Unit in your base, it can help you grow plants and crops.

5) Meyer’s Market

Story missions will eventually guide players to Meyer’s Market settlement, where tin is accessible for the first time. This allows players to craft bronze tools and use recipes requiring tin or bronze. You should follow the story missions to unlock this location after Deadsville.

4) Greywater Camp

Acid is incredibly handy in Once Human. Greywater Camp is one of the best locations in the game for farming acid. The recommended level for this location is 23, and you can farm some Vanadium Crystals from this location. After unlocking this location, try to move your base here.

3) Tall Grass Inn

Tall Grass Inn serves as a mid-game quest hub, and the surrounding zones are rich in aluminum, especially to the west. In this region, you can also find some silver ore that can be sold for energy links to be used in various crafting recipes. This area has some pretty powerful enemies to try to be in at least level 30 before coming to this area.

2) Blackheart Region

Blackheart is very rich in minerals. You can find all the high-tier minerals like gold, silver, tungsten, aluminum, iron, tin, and copper here. Blackheart is also a great location if you are looking to build an isolated base. However, keep in mind that this is currently one of the most hostile areas in the game, so try to be at least level 50 before coming here.

1) Gaia Military Base

One of the most important locations to be unlocked in the early game. You can find some Iridium Crystals and other high-tier resources here. We recommend being at least level 30 before coming to this location as it also has some very powerful Elite enemies.
