How to make 🐟 Salmon — 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.
- 🌊 Lake + 💧 Water = 🌊 OceanOcean is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- 🌊 Ocean + 💧 Water = 🐟 FishIf you already made Fish in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- 🌎 Earth + 🌎 Earth = 🏔️ MountainOne quick craft for Mountain: drag Earth onto Earth and keep the result for the chain.
- 🌊 Lake + 🏔️ Mountain = 🏞️ FjordFjord is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- 🐟 Fish + 🏞️ Fjord = 🐟 SalmonFinal craft: combine Fish and Fjord to make Salmon. That's the whole path — 6 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Salmon
We rank every known recipe for Salmon by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Fish and Fjord — cost 3 and 3 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.

What can you make with Salmon?
Salmon is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in several downstream recipes: pair it with Twister and you get Tornado; pair it with Crater and you get Volcano; pair it with Mud and you get Mud; pair it with Dirt and you get Mud; pair it with Pacific and you get Ocean; pair it with Pumice and you get Stone. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Salmon
- Craft in one sitting. The 6-craft chain for Salmon 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 Ocean) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Earth + Rainbow Trout also produces Salmon if that route fits your inventory better.
