Build a complete interactive...

About this model

Build a complete interactive Machinations diagram for a survival/crafting game core loop with strong emergent behaviour.

Core resources: - Hunger (starts at 100, drains over time) - Energy (starts at 100, drains with actions, recovers with rest/food) - Wood - Stone - Food (raw and cooked) - Tools (simple and advanced) - Player Health

Systems to model: 1. Passive drains: Hunger and Energy slowly decrease every step. When Hunger or Energy hits 0, Health starts draining. 2. Gathering: Player can spend Energy to gather Wood or Stone from Sources. Success chance and yield increase if they have a Tool. 3. Crafting: Converter that turns Wood + Stone into Tools (costs Energy). Higher-tier Tools require more materials. 4. Cooking: Converter that turns raw Food + Wood into cooked Food (better Hunger restore). 5. Eating: Player can spend cooked Food to restore Hunger and some Energy. 6. Resting: Player can spend time (steps) to restore Energy, but Hunger continues to drain. 7. Combat/threat: Occasional random Gate that can deal Health damage unless the player has enough Energy and a Tool. 8. Feedback loops: Low Hunger or Energy should reduce gathering success and increase Health drain. Having better Tools should create positive feedback (faster gathering → more resources → better Tools).

Make the diagram runnable. Use realistic starting numbers and rates so I can hit Play and immediately see the loops. Label every connection clearly. Add Registers or State Connections where values influence other rates. Keep it focused on the core loop so I can expand later.
