Why this is the cheapest path to Emo

We rank every known recipe for Emo by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Emulsion and Pop — cost 7 and 6 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 11 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.

Tips for crafting Emo

• Craft in one sitting. The 11-craft chain for Emo 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 Lava) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
• Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Ash + Punk also produces Emo if that route fits your inventory better.
