Working out exactly what the backpack number means in Once Human might take you a little while. It's kind of unnerving the first time your rucksack—or Cradle as the game calls it—starts beeping and displaying a steadily climbing number.

If you're just starting out for the first time, you might want some help changing worlds or some Once Human codes for free stuff, but otherwise, here's that number on your backpack explained.
