Infinite Craft is the latest in a long line of Neal.Fun web games, one of the most popular of which was the fascinating Password Game. Initially presented with just four simple elements, players need to build out the universe through the power of AI, and humans are a key feature.
What we mean by this is that you will, inevitably, need a human in Infinite Craft, and making one isn’t necessarily simple. If you’re kicking things off for the first time just now, you’ll be presented with Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind to begin with. How on earth do you make a human out of those? Well, there’s a variety of different ways you could unlock the ‘Human’ element starting from scratch, but yours truly ended up relying on a guide from one of the players in the end!
Infinite Craft: creating a human
To create a human in Infinite Craft, you’re going to need to combine some rather surprising elements before the option actually opens up to you. Notably, it was Applehead2’s post on Twitter that finally helped yours truly make a human being in Infinite Craft. Without some key elements from previous builds, however, I’d not have been able to follow their guide, so this short summary is slightly expanded upon with additional elements.
For example, Applehead2 recommends using the Continent and Time to create Eternity, and from Eternity and Mud, you get Adam. Combine Adam with some Time, and you get Eve. Finally, putting Adam and Eve together gets you your Human in Infinite Craft.
Unlocking the ‘Time’ and ‘Continent’ elements isn’t necessarily straightforward, however, and that’s where this guide comes into the picture! To get the Continent, combine ‘Island’ with ‘Earth,’ and to unlock Island, combine ‘Earth’ with ‘Ocean’. You can get the Ocean element simply by stacking the ‘Water’ element several times over.
As for Time, you’re going to need the ‘Wave’ and ‘Dust’ elements to make Sand. Sand combines with Glass to make an Hourglass, and then slapping some Sand onto your Hourglass gets the job done. It should be far more obvious that combining ‘Wind’ and ‘Earth’ gets you Dust, and that you can get the ‘Wave’ by mixing ‘Wind’ with ‘Water’.
This sets you up with all the elements you need to unlock the Human element in Infinite Craft, and from that point onwards, you can make all sorts of crazy combinations. Whether you’re looking to zombify your new humans or simply to see what happens when you keep stacking weird new elements onto them, there’s lots to enjoy in this weird new game.
Of course, we do recommend checking out the variety of other web games Neal Agarwal has made in the past. Might we recommend Asteroid Launcher, in particular? Absurd Trolley Problems, too, might give you something to think about.
Other Human combinations in Infinite Craft
One of the reasons why you may wish to unlock the Human element in Infinite Craft is the ridiculous breadth of possibilities it opens up, in turn. As Infinite Craft is fueled by the raw power of a moderately clever language generation engine, the list of things you can do with ‘Human’ is virtually infinite and infinitely entertaining. Some of the examples of things Destructoid folks have created are:
This ought to give you an idea of the sort of things you can make with the Human element in the game, but we highly encourage you to experiment to your heart’s content. Who knows: you might even end up turning water into wine, as Andrea did a while back!
