Hydraulic Generators are one of the best energy sources when it comes to building a sustainable base in Once Human. The only condition is you need to locate your base near a water body. Much like most equipment in the game, you first need to obtain the blueprint for the Hydraulic Generator before you can build it. This guide has everything you need to know to get and use a Hydraulic Generator in Once Human.

How To Get Hydraulic Generators in Once Human
In order to unlock the blueprint for Hydraulic generators in Once Human, you must reach Tier 4 of the Logistics Category through the Memetics Tree. Once you reach this milestone, you’ll get access to the Hydraulic Generator Memetic. You need to spend 7 Ciphers, 2000 Energy Links & Electric Kit Memetic to unlock the blueprint.
Building Hydraulic Generator in Once Human
After unlocking the blueprint for the Hydraulic generator, you need to spend these resources to build it:
- Aluminum Ingot x 100
- Electronic Part x 15
- Engineering Plastic x 15
- Fuse x 5
- Log x 50
- Special Parts x 15
How To Use Hydraulic Generators in Once Human
Hydraulic Generators in Once Human cannot be placed in any water body – it needs to be a flowing and clean one. It is recommended to step into the water body and place the turbine in water. This is essential for the turbine of the generator to be placed properly. To make the generator work, you have to position the generator’s base on land (near the water source) and the turbine in water. You might have to try different placements until you can crack the best configuration. Once the setup is complete your generator will start producing power.
Next, you need to connect the generator to Circuit Modules in your base using wires. You need to perform this task by pressing X while still in build mode. This will distribute electricity to power your facilities. To ensure the longevity of your Hydraulic Generator, make sure to inspect and repair it regularly.
Tips While Using Hydraulic Generators in Once Human
While we have already covered the most important points while using Hydraulic Generators, here are some additional tips that will help you:
- Maintain spacing between generators: As you progress in Once Human, you will need multiple generators to power your base. In this regard, you must avoid placing multiple generators too close. It can interfere with the power supply in your base.
- Alternative Power Sources: While Hydraulic Generators are probably the most ideal energy source, it is necessary to pair them with different types of generators. This will reduce your dependency on the same energy source.
