As a crafting-survival game with surprising depth, Once Human doesn't shy away from the basics of the genre either.
You have countless resources necessary for crafting and construction.
Various tools are required to harvest specific resources, with upgrades needed for late-game materials.
Why You Need Tin Ore in Once Human
Multiple crafting and construction recipes in the game require tin, with the most notable being Bronze Ingots.
Bronze Ingots are necessary to craft various weapons, armor, and specific workbenches in the building menu.
If you want to explore more of the world using a vehicle, you'll need to refine and purify fuel for your cars and motorcycles.
For a Fuel Refinery, you require Bronze Ingots.
It's a never-ending cycle of resources converting into other resources for more valuable workbenches and production facilities.
Where to Find Tin in Once Human
The best spot to farm tin in abundance in Once Human is in and around the region of Broken Delta, southwest of Deadsville.
It's the zone where you'll find Meyers Market.
If you leave the main gate and head up the road over the bridge outside of Meyers Market, just near the train tracks to the northeast, you'll find numerous tin ore nodes on a hillside.
The entire zone of Broken Delta is littered with tin ore nodes, especially on hillsides where they tend to spawn most frequently.
How to Farm Tin Ore and Get a Copper Pickaxe
Your initial pickaxe isn't enough to farm tin ore in Once Human.
You must upgrade it.
For tin, you'll need to secure a copper pickaxe, which stems from the Copper Pickaxe's Memetics under the Infrastructure technology tree.
It's an early-game tech easily unlocked with a single Meme Point.
Once you unlock the technology, visit a Supplies Workbench.
You'll need the following materials to craft your first copper pickaxe:
- 5 Log
- 7 Copper Ingot
- 2 Rawhide
It's relatively cheap for its overall efficiency and use cases.
Importantly, it'll have you prepared to get to work farming as much tin as you desire.
Tin is just one of the many resources in Once Human that appear unimportant until you realize the ore feeds into most other crafting mechanics in the game.
As such, you'll want an abundant supply back at your base.
