How to make 👥 People — 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.
- Earth + Earth = MountainMountain is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Lake + Mountain = FjordIf you already made Fjord in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Earth + Fjord = LandOne quick craft for Land: drag Earth onto Fjord and keep the result for the chain.
- Earth + Water = PlantPlant is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Plant + Wind = DandelionDandelion is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Dandelion + Water = WineIf you already made Wine in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Wind + Wine = BalloonOne quick craft for Balloon: drag Wind onto Wine and keep the result for the chain.
- Balloon + Fire = PopPop is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Land + Pop = PeopleFinal craft: combine Land and Pop to make People. That's the whole path — 10 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to People
We rank every known recipe for People by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Land and Pop — cost 5 and 6 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 10 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 People
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Flavor + Soylent Green | 17 crafts |
| Human + Plural | 25 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with People?
People 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 Smoke and you get Fire; pair it with Lava and you get Volcano; pair it with Eruption and you get Volcano; pair it with Sea and you get Fish; pair it with Tree and you get Forest. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting People
- Craft in one sitting. The 10-craft chain for People 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 Mountain) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Flavor + Soylent Green also produces People if that route fits your inventory better.
