How to make 🍩 Donut — 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.
- Fire + Water = SteamSteam is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Fire + Steam = EngineIf you already made Engine in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Engine + Wind = WindmillOne quick craft for Windmill: drag Engine onto Wind and keep the result for the chain.
- Dust + Windmill = FlourFlour is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Earth + Water = PlantPlant is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Engine + Plant = CarIf you already made Car in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Car + Earth = TireOne quick craft for Tire: drag Car onto Earth and keep the result for the chain.
- Flour + Tire = DonutFinal craft: combine Flour and Tire to make Donut. That's the whole path — 9 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Donut
We rank every known recipe for Donut by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Flour and Tire — cost 6 and 6 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 9 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 Donut
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Flour + Tire | 7 crafts |
| Bread + Tire | 8 crafts |
| Buddha + Hole | 8 crafts |
| Doughnut + Fire | 13 crafts |
| Earth + Holey | 13 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Donut?
Donut is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Sandstorm and you get Dust; pair it with Lava and you get Volcano; pair it with Cloud Trap and you get Cloud; pair it with Electric and you get Lightning; pair it with Space Plant and you get Moon; pair it with Tractor Beam and you get Black Hole. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Donut
- Craft in one sitting. The 9-craft chain for Donut 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 Steam) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Flour + Tire also produces Donut if that route fits your inventory better.
