For unlocking lighting options for your home base in Once Human, you’ll need to progress through the Memetics system. Here’s how you can get started.

How to Get Lighting for your Home Base or Territory in Once Human

As you advance through the storyline and complete quests, you’ll naturally unlock new features and items. But if you’re looking for something specific like ceiling lights, here’s how you can get them.

  • Go to the Furniture tab in Build mode and click on the Lighting section.
  • Under this, you will see various lights with different colors too.
  • Look for Round Ceiling Light which can be crafted with 3x Glass, 2x Bronze Ingots and 1x Electronic Part.

The Green, Blue and Red Circular Lights need 15 Logs, 1 Electronic Part, 10 Rubber and 5 Adhesive each for crafting. The Fluorescent Light requires 3 Glass, 2 Copper Ingots and 1 Electronic Part.

Before this, you need to unlock the blueprints. Head to Memetics and click on the Building tab. Scroll down until you see Basic Furniture II and you’ll see colored light that you can unlock the formula for. But if you’re looking for the Round Ceiling Light, interestingly, they are under another tab.

To unlock that one, go to Logistics and unlock Solar Generator in tier 3, which is where you’ll find the Round ceiling light.
