Glossary

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.

• Action: one try at the table: a combination, a tool on a thing, an apparatus run. It counts whether or not it makes anything.
• Apparatus: equipment with slots, such as the Workbench, Kiln or Glass Beaker. Load it, then press its button.
• Codex: the list of everything a player has discovered, to take things from.
• Department of Records: the guild office that keeps the register and every member's folder.
• Discovery: a thing a player was first in the world to make. Their name stays on it.
• Force: Fire, Sunlight, Cold or Lightning. Combined like an ingredient, or picked from the hotbar and clicked on a thing.
• Grade and merit: the guild's ladder. Merit is earned by playing; grades open more of the game. The game never calls them levels or XP.
• Guild: the Mixmote Guild, which runs the table and writes the notices.
• Hotbar: the slots at the bottom of the screen, keys 1 to 9.
• Member of Record: a registered player with 500 actions or more.
• Portion: one unit of a result. Many results come as several portions (one Stone makes ten Gravel).
• Rank: a player's place in the guild register.
• Standing: Unfiled, Provisional or Member of Record.
• Table: where the game is played.
