+ 3Energy Links are the energy or resources required for performing key actions in the game, similar to how mana or stamina function in other games but with a broader utility. Without them, you would struggle to enhance your combat abilities or improve your survival equipment.
This also reduces travel time and helps you access important areas or resources more efficiently. You also need to use Energy Links to unlock crates, buy items from vendors, and enhance your skill trees.
These links are important because they dictate how far and how fast you can progress. There are multiple strategies you can use depending on your current stage in the game.

For instance, crafting five Bronze Pickaxes can net you around 500 Energy Links in just a few minutes. This method is particularly effective if you have an abundant supply of materials, and you can speed up the process by upgrading your crafting equipment.
Another effective approach is to craft and sell ingots, especially Gold and Silver Ingots. These can be created using Electric Furnaces, and they sell well in the market. If you have a steady flow of ores, this method allows you to passively generate Energy Links over time. To maximize efficiency, you can gather ores using NPC helpers or “Digby Boys,” who collect resources automatically, making it easier to focus on production.

The higher the level of the silo, the more rewards you get, so it’s a great way to farm links while improving your combat skills. Bosses can also be repeated, allowing you to farm them as often as needed for steady Energy Link income.
In addition, advanced players can unlock Combo Chipset crafting. By unlocking specific crafting specializations, you can create and sell combo chipsets, which are among the highest-value items in the game. This method requires gathering electronic parts and metal scraps, but the rewards are well worth the effort as these chipsets fetch a high price from vendors.
Using these methods together will help you earn a consistent flow of Energy Links, making sure you have the resources needed to progress smoothly in Once Human.
