Creating a new diagram

Start with a blank diagram in Machinations. It is the shared canvas where you will represent the resources, rules and decisions in the Loot and Craft example. You can use the same starting point for any economy or system you want to model.

Create the canvas

Open Machinations and create a new diagram. Give it a name that describes the question you are exploring, such as House building pace. Save it before adding elements, so you can return to the same model as the lessons progress.

Use the app’s New diagram action to reach a blank canvas.
