Step-by-step recipe, cheapest path first — everything below is crafted from the four starting elements.
How to make ☀️ Solar — 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.
- Earth + Wind = DustBoth Earth and Wind come straight from your starting elements — craft Dust first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Dust + Earth = PlanetPlanet is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Fire + Planet = SunIf you already made Sun in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Fire + Sun = SolarFinal craft: combine Fire and Sun to make Solar. That's the whole path — 4 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Solar
We rank every known recipe for Solar by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Fire and Sun — 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 Solar
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Eclipse + Wind | 6 crafts |
| Engine + Sun | 5 crafts |
| Eclipse + Engine | 6 crafts |
| Energy + Sun | 6 crafts |
| Steampunk + Sun | 6 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Solar?
Solar 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 Ground and you get Earth; pair it with Tinder and you get Fire; pair it with Fire Tumbleweed and you get Fire; pair it with Snowman and you get Water; pair it with Steam Dew and you get Water. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Solar
- Craft in one sitting. The 4-craft chain for Solar 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 Planet) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Eclipse + Wind also produces Solar if that route fits your inventory better.
