Once Human 3.1.2 Is Scheduled for November 4 With Nailoong Events

Once Human Version 3.1.2 is scheduled to arrive after server maintenance on November 4, with a Nailoong crossover, first-person movement improvements, and new tools for territory construction. Maintenance is set to begin at 3:00 PM PT and last about 2 hours, though the server reopening time may change, according to the Steam announcement.

After maintenance, all players will receive Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko’s Mark ×100, Stardust Secret Crate S15 (Epic) ×1, Colorful Badge ×30, and Transformation Cookie: Nailoong ×5. The crossover events themselves begin November 5 and run through November 25, using server time.

Players can transform into Nailoong with a Transformation Cookie, use its Tummy Battle skill in the wilderness, and place a Nailoong Disco Light to invite others to dance. The Nailoong Egg event offers hatch attempts through daily activity and friend-invite tasks. Its final reward at 100% progress is the Carpenter Nailoong Logging Beaver Deviation Skin, and egg progress is shared across characters on the same account.

Version 3.1.2 also makes first-person movement less rigid, adds the option to move a weapon to the left side of the screen, and lets players replace cosmetic skins across connected buildings in one action. Custom Server players will be able to post and browse server reviews after spending at least 10 minutes on a server. The update also adds the Party Boing! Lightforge Loot Crate, featuring the Gurgle Express vehicle skin, Wildlands Cutie Void Wings skin, and Rhythm Starcore set. More crate details are available in the Party Boing! announcement.

The next update is scheduled for November 18 at 3:00 PM PT. Starry Studio also teased the Visional Wheel game mode, with further details planned for upcoming official Dev Blogs.
