I'm currently at 410/550 after about a week.

I'm at 31 after about 5 fun filled minutes. Thanks!

hey, how come when I put fire and tobacco together nothing happens.

man this is some BS, I need my fix!

You got to tobacco already? Nice work!

Some tips: some elements can't be combined after you make them. Those names should be underlined, but they don't always show up that way. Refreshing your browser window helps a number of little graphic glitches like that. There are also settings available in the little hamburger icon under the recycle symbol at the lower right.

ya'll are far more efficient at this than I am. I'm only at about 44 after about an hour...

Furthermore: sun + sun + earth should make tattoine, just sayin

I was wondering what I was going to do with 'horizon'... It's good to know- nothing! I'm at 138 now.

Lets just say I chuckled when I made Darth Vader.

Oh man I just started a few minutes ago and I can't figure out how to log in with a burner email. Marathon play engage! Just unlocked tobacco.

aw man! don't tease me!

I turned off the 'already did that' option and that helps. (or whatever it's called)

Hrrrrrrm... I have Yoda, but not Vader. You're making HUGE progress, but of course, since most new elements spawn more new elements, it's a matter of which branch you happen to pursue.

I'm kind of disappointed that I can't mix my own disasters. I can't have a lava-tsunami or a fire-hurricane?

I've also thought of a number of great things you could make with 3 elements, but nope... just 2.

[edit] There are also some "hidden" elements that disappear from your list after you make them.

Some of these are very unintuitive...like how you get "pressure."

These are the final ones you can't do anything with, if you enable that setting.

I can make a wizard, but not a rock. I feel stupid.

Stone took me forever to figure out.

on the other hand, I haven't created life of any sort (now nearing 100)

I finally used tobacco. I'm at 207. Apparently it's slow at work today.

I put palm and star together and didn't get south carolina...

I just cheated and look at the hints, I guess I am beyond boredom.

No, there are other super secret elements...

My wife has a wizard, and I still don't. I don't know if you can make a "rock", but you can make "stone".

I haven't figured out what to do with my carrot, either.

I made a drunk!

The hour of progression it took me to get there was worth it. Once I had the Jedi, I kind of guessed what the next piece was going to be

Edit! I may have found a hidden element (trying to see if I can make the person that goes with it now...)

I bet you did find the hidden element I was referring to.

Yoda....
