Once Human Dev Team Addresses Bug Fixes and Christmas Event Drop Limits

Once Human's development team has released a comprehensive update in early 2026, addressing a slew of community-reported issues and clarifying the mechanics behind the Christmas Wish event's drop limits. The announcement, which covers everything from disappearing animals to Hive entrance glitches, underscores the team's ongoing commitment to refining the survival game's experience. Players who have encountered problems are also reminded of the various channels available for submitting feedback.

Bug Fixes Rolled Out

The team has been actively gathering community feedback and implementing fixes. Several key issues have been resolved:

• Animal Disappearance on Eternaland: A fix has been deployed for animals vanishing on Eternaland. Affected players can now manually retrieve their missing animals by re-performing the [Place Animal] operation. If the problem persists, the team encourages contacting customer service for individual assistance.

• Hive Entrances on Custom Servers: The issue where some Hive entrances disappeared on Custom Servers has been fixed.

• Animal Tameness: The bug preventing animal tameness from increasing has been addressed.

• Scenario Restricted Areas: Players leaving certain instances and entering restricted areas, resulting in death, is no longer an issue.

• Meta Bounty Deviation Count: The problem where some players could not correctly count Lunar Revelry Deviations obtained during Meta Bounty has been fixed. Metas who have not completed the bounty will need to reacquire the items to complete the task.

• Character Control After Illegal Positions: The bug where player characters could not be controlled after being pushed into illegal positions has been resolved.

• Event Island Item Pickup: Dropped items on the event island can now be picked up as intended.

These fixes reflect the development team's responsiveness to player reports, with each item directly addressing a pain point that had been raised by the community.

Christmas Wish Event: Drop Limit Clarification

One of the most discussed topics has been the Christmas Wish event, specifically the drop rates for Christmas decor items and hammers. Many players reported that these items stopped dropping, leading to confusion. The development team clarified that this is due to a weekly drop limit.

For Christmas decor items, the weekly drop limit is 319. The limit resets every Thursday at 6:00 AM (server time).

For hammers, the weekly drop limit varies as the event progresses. The reset time for the hammer drop limit is every Sunday at 6:00 AM (server time). The schedule was as follows:

The team expressed gratitude for players' understanding and support as they navigated these event mechanics.

The development team emphasized that they will continue to monitor community feedback and address concerns promptly. With these fixes and clarifications, Once Human aims to provide a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all players.

As the game evolves, the team remains dedicated to transparency and player satisfaction, encouraging everyone to stay engaged and report any ongoing issues. 🎮🔧
