MIPS is real world low-level (i.e. close to hardware) programming language with some Stationeers flavor added. It is fairly simple and compact. Due to its simplicity MIPS is not suitable for big programs but you re not going to develop those in the game anyways. |

Look into ingame editor help pages to decrypt keywords. MIPS keywords are abbreviations of English words and mostly make sence, eg. <code>beqz r0 foobar</code> means "'''B'''ranch (jump) to line labeled foobar if r0 '''EQ'''uals to '''Z'''ero". |
