  • Under the Furniture tab, click on Home Entertainment.
  • Hover on Radio and you will see that the crafting requirements are x10 Log, x4 Rusted Parts, x3 Waste Plastic, x2 Copper Ingot, and x1 Electronic Parts.

Logs can be obtained by cutting down trees around the map, while Parts and Waste Plastic can be acquired by disassembling scraps found by exploring. Lastly, Copper Ingots can be made by smelting in the Furnace.

Once you’d built the Radio in Once Human, place it next to the deviants. Interact with the box by pressing F and choose the radio station you wish to play such as 89.1 Classical FM, 95.5 Abyss Oracle, etc.
