Sources: Generating resources

Use Sources to create wood and stone resources for the introductory Loot and Craft model. A Source introduces resources into a model.

A Source introduces resources into a model. Add a Source for wood and another for stone so the Pools can receive the materials needed to build houses.

Add and label Sources

Clear labels make the diagram readable when you return to it or share it with someone else. The same pattern can represent any incoming resource, from energy or inventory to tokens.

Tip

Sources are used to generate as many resources as you want, to send them later to a pool or other components.

Note

Always rename sources so that you know what kind of resources it generates.

Warning

An alternative solution

It is not entirely necessary to create two sources. We could have created one source called “Collect materials”

One Source named Collect materials with two connections, Gather 3 into the Wood pool and Gather 4 into the Stone pool
