How to make 🍬 Candy — 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.

1. Earth + Water = PlantBoth Earth and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Plant first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
2. Water + Water = LakeLake is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
3. Fire + Wind = SmokeIf you already made Smoke in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
4. Smoke + Wind = CloudOne quick craft for Cloud: drag Smoke onto Wind and keep the result for the chain.
5. Cloud + Earth = RainRain is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
6. Fire + Rain = RainbowRainbow is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
7. Lake + Rainbow = UnicornIf you already made Unicorn in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
8. Plant + Unicorn = CandyFinal craft: combine Plant and Unicorn to make Candy. That's the whole path — 8 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Candy

We rank every known recipe for Candy by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Plant and Unicorn — cost 2 and 7 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 8 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.

Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.

What can you make with Candy?

Candy is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Pangaea and you get Earth; pair it with Globe and you get Earth; pair it with Match and you get Fire; pair it with Smoke Detector and you get Fire; pair it with Gasoline and you get Fire; pair it with Prometheus and you get Fire. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.

Tips for crafting Candy

• Craft in one sitting. The 8-craft chain for Candy 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 Lake) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
• Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Cherry + Fire also produces Candy if that route fits your inventory better.
