# Plantarium

Hi :)

This guide will help you understand how Node based Interfaces work in general, and how the Plantarium Nodesystem works.

-> Lets get started.

I like to think of Nodesystem as little factories connected by pipes. Each Node, or Factory gets some inputs, transforms  them and outputs something new.

-> Okay...?, Understood!

Alright, who wants a coffee?

-> Mee!, No thanks...

Well then, what do we need to make a coffee? A coffee machine of course!

You can create one by pressing [shift+a] and search for *machine*.

We also need someone who can consume our coffee, lets add a human.

Now its time to connect these two nodes.
