How to make 🐟 Fish — 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.
- Water + Water = LakeBoth Water and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Lake first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Lake + Water = OceanOcean is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Ocean + Water = FishFinal craft: combine Ocean and Water to make Fish. That's the whole path — 3 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Fish
We rank every known recipe for Fish by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Ocean and Water — cost 3 and 1 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 3 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 Fish
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Balloon + Water | 6 crafts |
| Fishbowl + Water | 6 crafts |
| Flying Fish + Water | 6 crafts |
| Fog + Ocean | 4 crafts |
| Lake + Lightning | 5 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Fish?
Fish is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Planet and you get Earth; pair it with Globe and you get Earth; pair it with World and you get Earth; pair it with Blue Planet and you get Earth; pair it with Prometheus and you get Fire; pair it with Hydrogen and you get Water. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Fish
- Craft in one sitting. The 3-craft chain for Fish 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 Ocean) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Balloon + Water also produces Fish if that route fits your inventory better.
