- Earth + Wind = DustDust is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Dust + Earth = PlanetIf you already made Planet in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Fire + Planet = SunOne quick craft for Sun: drag Fire onto Planet and keep the result for the chain.
- Sun + Wind = SunflowerSunflower is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Smoke + Sunflower = Smoke SignalFinal craft: combine Smoke and Sunflower to make Smoke Signal. That's the whole path — 6 crafts total.
