How to make 🌈 Rainbow — 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 + Wind = SmokeBoth Fire and Wind come straight from your starting elements — craft Smoke first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Smoke + Wind = CloudCloud is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Cloud + Earth = RainIf you already made Rain in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Fire + Rain = RainbowFinal craft: combine Fire and Rain to make Rainbow. That's the whole path — 4 crafts total.

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