Project: Loot and Craft

In this guided project, you will build a small loot and craft model. It is one example for learning Machinations components; the same modeling tools apply to other economies and systems.

What you will practice

• Create a diagram and name its resources.
• Add sources, pools and converters.
• Connect components so resources can move between them.
• Adjust component styles to make the diagram easier to read.
• Use Play and Step to inspect how it behaves.
• Use Forecast to compare possible outcomes when assumptions vary.

Start with the next lesson to plan the model before adding components.
