First recipes
Mixmote is a crafting game you play in the browser. This page is part of the reading room, the game's handbook in plain text.
Everything on this page uses only the items every player starts with, plus the two early chains below. These results are fixed: they are the same for every player. The numbers are the usual yield; now and then a craft gives one more or one less.
Key chains
Sand
Answer:
- Hammer on Stone gives 10 Gravel.
- Hammer (or Knife) on Gravel gives 10 Sand.
Hint, if you would rather work it out: Sand is very small stone. Keep breaking it down.
Glass
Answer:
- Hammer on Stone gives 10 Gravel.
- Hammer (or Knife) on Gravel gives 10 Sand.
- Fire on Sand (or drag Fire onto Sand) gives 2 Glass.
Hint, if you would rather work it out: Glass is sand that has been in a fire.
