Step-by-step recipe, cheapest path first — everything below is crafted from the four starting elements.
How to make 🏙️ City — 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.
- Fire + Water = SteamBoth Fire and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Steam first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Fire + Steam = EngineEngine is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Earth + Engine = TractorIf you already made Tractor in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Earth + Tractor = FarmOne quick craft for Farm: drag Earth onto Tractor and keep the result for the chain.
- Farm + Farm = VillageVillage is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Earth + Village = CityFinal craft: combine Earth and Village to make City. That's the whole path — 6 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to City
We rank every known recipe for City by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Earth and Village — cost 1 and 10 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 6 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 City
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Civic + Earth | 12 crafts |
| Colony + Mountain Range | 9 crafts |
| Colony + Oasis | 9 crafts |
| Earth + Settlement | 12 crafts |
| Earth + Skyscraper | 12 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with City?

Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting City
- Craft in one sitting. The 6-craft chain for City 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 Engine) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Civic + Earth also produces City if that route fits your inventory better.
