How to make 🛢️ Tank — 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.
- Engine + Tractor = TankFinal craft: combine Engine and Tractor to make Tank. That's the whole path — 4 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Tank
We rank every known recipe for Tank by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Engine and Tractor — cost 3 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 Tank
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Desert + Tractor | 5 crafts |
| Earth + Landship | 8 crafts |
| Fire + Landship | 8 crafts |
| Boat + Tractor | 6 crafts |
| Bulldozer + Engine | 7 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Tank?
Tank is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Match and you get Fire; pair it with Splash and you get Water; pair it with Wetting and you get Water; pair it with Aquafina and you get Water; pair it with Stream and you get Water; pair it with Well and you get Water. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Tank
- Craft in one sitting. The 4-craft chain for Tank 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. Desert + Tractor also produces Tank if that route fits your inventory better.
