How to make 🥓 Bacon — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Earth + Wind = DustBoth Earth and Wind come straight from your starting elements — craft Dust first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Dust + Fire = AshAsh is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Water + Water = LakeIf you already made Lake in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Lake + Water = OceanOne quick craft for Ocean: drag Lake onto Water and keep the result for the chain.
- Ash + Ocean = SaltSalt is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Fire + Wind = SmokeSmoke is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Salt + Smoke = BaconFinal craft: combine Salt and Smoke to make Bacon. That's the whole path — 7 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Bacon
We rank every known recipe for Bacon by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Salt and Smoke — cost 6 and 2 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 7 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Bacon

|---|---|
| Salt + Smoke | 7 crafts |
| Bacon + Water | 9 crafts |
| Fire + Flying Pig | 9 crafts |
| Fire + Pork | 9 crafts |

Tips for crafting Bacon
- Craft in one sitting. The 7-craft chain for Bacon takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Ash) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Salt + Smoke also produces Bacon if that route fits your inventory better.
