Once Human is a bit of a unique “survival-MMO”, where survival is part really takes a back seat after a few initial levels. Despite that, the food and drinks in the game never lose their importance, in fact, they become more important as you progress towards the endgame. Food and Drinks provide important buffs to your character, some of them extremely unique.
Besides the recipes you unlock naturally via your Memetics and Specialization, there are also “Special Recipes” scattered all around the map in Once Human. We have collected all these special recipes and linked each of them to a spot on the map for you to easily find!
Special Recipes are often found in cafeterias, sometimes on dining tables, sometimes next to the cash machines in various shops. If you want to collect some of them to utilize very specific buffs or all of them just for the sake of it, you don’t have to guess their locations – just click the map icon conveniently located next to the Special Recipes names.
