Where To Get Fuel in Once Human

Search the trunks of abandoned cars or refine Acid to collect more fuel for your motorcycle in Once Human. Getting the materials and the Ciphers to unlock the refinery Memetic is going to take some time in your playthrough, so I recommend starting with the abandoned cars. Nearly all of the main roads in the game will have broken-down cars, but the trunk needs to be closed if you have any chance of finding Portable Mixed Fuel inside. If you see that the trunk has not been searched at all, keep moving down the road.

  • Search the trunks of abandoned cars.
  • Use the Fuel Refinery.
  • Take control of Oil Refineries in PvP servers.
  • Level up the Battle Pass.

You can continue to collect Portable Mixed Fuel for the remainder of your Once Human playthrough whenever you really want to maintain your bike. However, it’s not the best way to maintain the resource. Instead, you should invest in the Fuel Refinery skill for your Territory, which allows you to build yet another set of machinery. Once it’s all built, you can then refine Acid or your Portable Mixed Fuel to create barrels of Premium Fuel.

There are two other ways to earn Fuel in Once Human, but they are very situational. The first is to level up the Battle Pass. Some of the rewards will provide you with more of the resources so that everyone can get around just fine. And for the second option, you can fight for Oil Refineries when you join a PvP server. However, most players will likely be in the PvE servers, so fighting for Oil Refineries isn’t going to be a standard option. Either way, there are numerous ways to keep your motorcycle moving.

Once Human is available to play now.
