The Custom Server feature for Once Human is now live. With this, players can now create their own dedicated servers that can alter the gameplay significantly.

The Custom Servers was officially launched on June 18. The player-managed rental servers allow their founders to control the rules of the world, down to the gameplay itself. Once established, other players can then join these worlds for unique adventures in the Once Human world.

Comprehensive Parameter Customization

What do these Custom Servers bring to the game? For starters, the creator can change various fundamental aspects of the Once Human experience. These include changing how weather patterns and day-night cycles function in the game. They can do the same for character attributes, experience modifiers, and even resource respawn rates. It's even possible to alter how quickly and easily buildings can be created and maintained.

Flexible Scenario Selection

Players should be happy to know that it's possible to switch between the official Once Human scenarios that include the PvE and PvP content. This allows the Custom Server to focus on specific types of gameplay. The development team revealed in a statement that mod support is planned for a future update and scenarios that are intended explicitly for custom play.

Friend Collaboration System

The Custom Servers need unique invitation codes to join and allow players to invite friends or online pals for specific kinds of Once Human experiences. Servers can also be unlocked and allow anyone to join.

Dedicated Server Management Panel

Anyone who creates a Once Human Custom Server is granted GM privileges and given access to administrative tools. These allow players to moderate the players in the server and allocate permissions to other people.

Secure Infrastructure

The Custom Server data is kept separate from the official Once Human servers and is maintained by its backend infrastructure. This ensures the long-term security and reliability of this data.

Accessing the Custom Servers

Players who want to create a Custom Server in Once Human can do it through a dedicated in-game purchase page. This is where Custom Server subscriptions can be purchased. The pricing plans vary based on the player capacity and server duration that players want.

Those who want to play in a Once Human Custom Server can do so via an invitation code provided by an owner or by joining an unlocked server, as these allow anyone to jump right in.
