About this model

This diagram represents a simplistic system with only two source nodes, both designed to generate an unlimited supply of resources labeled "Black." The focus of this system lies in its ability to continuously produce these resources without any explicit targets or further processing indicated. Due to the absence of pools, gates, drains, or any other nodes that could manipulate or store the generated resources, the diagram's purpose remains primarily illustrative, showcasing the initiation of resource flow within a more extensive system. The simplicity of this diagram serves as a foundational example of how resources can be introduced into a Machinations model, potentially to be expanded upon with more complex mechanisms for resource management, distribution, and consumption in a more detailed diagram setup.

“rthe” is a diagram in the Machinations Community by Mihai Uritescu.

You can open the original diagram in the Machinations app, press Play to watch how resources move through it, and change its values to see how the system responds. Machinations is a visual tool for designing, simulating and balancing game economies and other systems, where resources flow through sources, pools, drains, converters and gates.
