The Once Human development team has published Meta Hotline Vol. 12, its latest rundown of the most popular requests on the Feedback Platform. Two of the six top suggestions are already in the game. The other four have been accepted and are in planning and development, though none of them has a release date yet.

The list reflects the Feedback Hot Charts as of November 4. The section was added to the Feedback Platform after the v2.3.7 update. Players who log in can like feedback they support and dislike feedback they don’t, and the live tallies help the team decide what to work on first. The chart is refreshed with every version update, and the team follows up on the previous list each time.

Already in the game

  • Dismantling Lift-Off Energy Devices and Floating Aerogels: This went live with the October 27 (PT) update. Both items can now be dismantled, which frees up backpack and depot space.
  • Easier-to-read animal information: The animal information page has limited room for text, so longer entries scroll automatically. In some languages that meant waiting for details such as Energy and Breed Cooldown to scroll into view. The team shortened and tightened some of the text, and the change arrived with the November 4 (PT) update. If the page is still hard to read, the developers ask players to say so on the Feedback Platform.

Accepted and in development

  • More General Mods: The team agrees that General Mods are too hard to come by. It plans to improve both how players obtain them and how many are available, so Mod progression runs more smoothly. The details will be announced once the plan is final.
  • Last played time on the Character page: This will help players review and manage their play history. It is in the development plan, and updates will follow.
  • Bound Deviations in the main synthesis slot: Right now, bound Deviations with remaining uses can’t go into the main Deviation slot during synthesis. Players have to transfer them out first and wait. Allowing them in the main slot should save both materials and time. The team will report progress through announcements.
  • Preview for building dismantling: Players would be able to see the scope and effects of a demolition before confirming it, which should prevent accidental teardowns when reworking a Territory. The team says an official release date will come later.

None of the four accepted items comes with a timeline, so it is unclear which version they will land in. The next Hot Charts update should show how far along they are.

The developers close by encouraging players to keep submitting feedback, and note that a suggestion could make the next Hot Charts. Likes and dislikes both count toward the ranking, so anyone with a strong opinion on Mods, building tools or the animal page can still weigh in.
