Best Energy Link Farms we found in Once Human

Energy Links are a vital currency in once Human. It enables players to trade with other players’ vending machines, and merchants in towns, spend money on respeccing memetics, and teleport and crafting fees. It’s safe to say you’ll be bleeding through this a lot. So, to aid players with their crafting, here is a closer look at the best energy link farms we’ve found in Once Human

Best Energy Link Farms in Once Human

In total, our suggestions for farming are as follows:

• Gold and Silver Ingots
• Combo Chipset
• Digby Boys and Spare Ores
• Buzzy Bees and deviated crops
• Cooking
• Morphic Crate Hunts

All of these methods either provide an incredibly high amount of Energy Links when selling to traders. There are a few suggestions that offer players a passive amount of income over time.

Also, keep paying attention to the global chat on your server/world. There are people always posting willing-to-buy messages (WTB). You’ll often see people posting about Acid purchases, alongside things like spoiled food for the players heavily getting into farming. If you’re filling to part with your acid or spoiled food, there are wins there. Again, World Chat depends on what people desperately need to trade, so adapt to what your server is up to.

One more warning before we get further into it. Each trader has a set amount of Energy Links they can sell to each reset. So, note that all selling Energy Links are limited per trader at each town. It means you can make about 100k Energy Links per week trading at all vendors. With that said, you can find out more about specific energy link farms in Once Human below.

Gold and Silver Ingots: 6-12k Energy Links

Gold and silver ingots are very rare ore spawns players can find. As you travel the wasteland some of the ores can spawn as either gold or silver, depending on the small localised are you are in. If you mine the silver and the gold, you can later smelt it down into their respective ingots to be sold to traders for large energy link sale prices.

Gold Ingots are worth 12k, while silver ingots are valued at 6k. That’s a lot of money. However, the traders won’t buy the raw ore from you, so it stays clogging your inventory up for a while.

While this is the big-hitting farm, it is sadly unreliable for many players. The luck of finding the ore makes it hard to do. In addition, you are also dependent on getting the memetic specialisation. It is completely random if and when you get it, which can make doing this farm easy to do early, or extremely hard to get going.

Combo Chipsets – 12k Energy Links

One of the mid-to-late game memetics specializations is the Combo Chipset option. This is one of the best energy link farming techniques in Once Human as you’re largely using parts you already have stored anyway. If you get this memetic, you can create combo chipsets for 12k energy links each. All you need is to craft one at a supplies bench for:

• 30x Electronic Parts
• 20x Metal Scraps
• 12x Special Parts, or other type of Parts item.

These items are very common disassembly items from technology or more physical items made of plastics and metals. You’ll be able to craft a few of these fairly easy after a few hours of looting areas. We have a more in-depth guide on how to get combo chipsets if you want to take a look at that.

Digby Boys: Between 10-50 Energy Links per ingot

Digby Boys are hard-working deviants that will return to you with ore aplenty. The better their skill is, the more often they’ll come back with higher-grade materials like iron and even silver. You can then convert all of your spare ores into ingots, which can later be sold. Tungsten sells for 50 each, with steel at 15, and bronze at 10. and aluminium around 40 energy links per bar.

We honestly recommend selling the steel, as it is easy to get a lot of steel and not really have use for it once you’re busy with tier 4 items. In addition, smelting it with an electric smelter makes life incredibly easy as you need no other requirements. Tungsten and aluminum both require acid to smelt, and if you’re in the late game, you already know that’s an issue in and of itself. Whereas steel has no such need for charcoal or acid at an electric smelter. So, get 5 Digbys running on 100 power, and watch as they return with lots of iron for you to smelt for easy Energy Links. We typically get 200-400 steel ingots per day using Digby Boys, which we sell off for pure profit.

Also, we just mentioned passively getting silver. From our experience, we tend to get about 100 silver a day from our 3/3 and 3/4 rated Digbys, which is enough for a few bars. So, it’s very much worth getting a few higher-skill Digbys in the higher-level areas and having a go at getting some of the rarer materials for your passive crafting or farming needs. Five Digbys can net a lot of ore overnight for free, which can be used for your crafting or selling needs. 

You can also set up mining platforms on your base to get ores to contribute to this. Feel free to run your own mining routes with a drill for some fast ore farming sessions to increase the number of ingots you can get and sell on the market.

Buzzy Bees and deviated crops: 100+ Energy Links

Farming is a great way to make money, and what a better way to do it then unleashing Buzzy Bees around the place. If you’re not already aware, Buzzy Bees can and will turn your growing crops into deviated versions of the crop. These things sell for quite a bit of energy links to traders. You can also place them in your Vending Machines and sell them for energy links, as deviated crops are used for high-end cooking recipes Maybe players will buy them from you for higher prices than the vendor, maybe they won’t. You may need to do some marketing to get.

Also, players can find naturally growing deviated crops out in the wilds of Red Sands and Chalk Peak. It is important to state that the crop has a low chance of spawning deviated through the entire region. If you see purple glowing crops out and about, pick them up and get them into a refrigerator immediately. You can often get around 1k Energy Links per Deviated Saffron, for example. Perhaps grow a large Saffron farm and place a few Buzzy Bees in hopes a few turn into Deviat versions for some passive money-making with no real effort. Get the watering deviant too and the platy growing lights so you can pretty much automate the entire farming process.

If you want to employ this passive money-making method, feel free to check our Buzzy Bee locations guide to help get you started.

Cooking: Consistent 45 Energy Links per craft

Naturally segwaying into cooking now. The thing about cooking is you can easily make decent blue quality meals and sell them for a decent amount. Things like Fruit Tea, which you can easily make at your stove require some boiled water and nearly any flower or fruit you come across out in the wild. Nearly every area has some sort of flow to pick, which likely goes into the tea. Picking these flowers up and brewing some Fruit Tea is a passive, yet easy-to-do Energy Link-making method. Store it in the refrigerator before it spoils and batch-sell it when you’re off to sell. You can say the same about the steak recipe, with a similar selling price, and it is easy enough to get meats since wild beasts are all over the place and are easy enough to hunt.

When you have more advanced cooking recipes that require deviant foods, then you can also sell those to plies at vending machines, or at traders. Due to the need for one or two deviated ingredients, the price of these meals naturally skyrockets to a few hundred energy links per item. It largely depends one hat recipes you have access to.  But, if you’ve got a large farm and some Buzzy Bees working them, you should passively get enough to sell over time for a sizable chunk of Energy Links over time.

Also, if you get the advance recipe for crated canned lunch, you can create food that sells for 200 each using any meat and two aluminium ingots. Go hunting in any region of the game bar Red Sands, and have some spare Aluminium ready for another quick top-up when needed.

Morphic Crate Hunts – 10k+ Energy Links

While this is technically not a farm, as you can only loot these crates once per character, we figured it’s important to mention it anyway.

Morphic Crates are sneaky devils that hide invisible all over the map in set locations. Players can find these creates by monitoring the small round device on the back of their characters, and when the white circles start going crazy, you need to press Q and check for anomalies. You’ll often find a crate running around the area to kill.

The crates are often around a similar level to the region they are in, typically around levels 4, 21, and 41 from personal experiences. When you kill them you’ll get a morphic crate currency called Stellar Planula, which you spend at a vendor in the Broken Delta Market area for legendary and epic attachments, alongside stardust, and some other things. In addition, you’ll also get Energy Links.

The amount of energy links depends on the level of the morphic crate itself:

• Wetlands: 60 Energy Links
• Iron River / Broken Delta: 160
• Chalk Peak: 240 Energy Links
• Red Sands: 300 Energy Links

Again all of these crates can only be killed once per character, but, the Energy Links stack up fairly easily. We recommend checking MapGenie’s Once Human map for an idea of where to find the creatures. Not all of their markers are accurate, but a vast majority of them are. It should help you get a nice burst of Energy Links for whatever you need. Expect to get onwards of 10k Energy Links by the time you’ve hunted them all down.
