    Shapez.io is a minimalist factory building automation game inspired by Factorio! Optimization in its purest form, we must extract shapes from the source, cut them up in different ways, color them, and combine them with other shapes. Starts simple, gets increasingly complex due to the extreme shapes you must create and the infinitely expanding map.
    Remember this game was made by just ONE PERSON! Go and show your support and buy this game, it's super cheap and super fun, which is an amazing combo for a game! It's on steam!

      Ya like factory games? play Mindustry! its free, has servers, has great mod support (bc its pretty much open source) and allows you to have vsync off so you can feel better about yourself when you see the current fps!

    This one's great, i've been playing this one for a while. There was actually an update to the game recently, added a bunch of levels, and a brand new wiring system. Like others have mentioned, factorio is really similar to this one, if you're looking for some games to play yourself or games for content, that's a great one.

  • @Michael-qj2eq
    @Michael-qj2eq 4 роки тому +8

    This is a really fun game. IMO it gets even more fun when you try to balance things where you're calculating how many operations you need for X/second output and making optimizations (both in space and rate) A lot of people are suggesting Factorio (which is a bit more complex but a lot of fun), but I suggest playing through this fully first. This game has a lot of fundamentals that will be able to transfer.

    this is essentially just a more casual version of Factorio. here you're building factories for the sake of puzzle solving whereas in Factorio you're working towards a set objective while dealing with alien attacks and the looming threat of running out of resources thus needing constant expansion. its a little overwhelming to get into but if youre up for a challenge i recommend it

  • @Erhannis
    @Erhannis Рік тому

    I really like the aesthetic of this game (as well as the gameplay). When I played it the first time, the aspects all combined to give this vibe of timelessness - the smooth gradients and crisp edges, the clockwork mechanisms. At the time I think there was only one track ("Square"; best track IMO), playing forever. The field goes on forever. It felt like a place that had always existed and would always exist; no decay, no rot, no seasons, no day or night, nothing breaks down or runs out or corrodes. You could fall asleep there for a million years and when you woke up everything would be exactly as you left it, machines still quietly moving circles from one place to another, and not a single speck of dust would have fallen in the meantime. It was incredibly meditative.

    I played this game as it's web form, and yes it is free online but it's kind of like a demo but I remember just how good it felt when I made something work. But the best part weirdly enough was making everything better, I can't explain why this was so nice but I loved going trough my older macians and just making them better and smaller. Also it's really weird how as something gets smaller it became much more relaxing and fun to just sit back and watch it. I know it gets quite complex but each part of the game is explained so well and is extremely clear how to get there, it's mainly just finding a way that worked best.

    I can't help but smirk a bit about that compact balancer example in the end, considering it takes up the exact same amount of space. I know the compact one comes in handy when it's a perpendicular input, but it makes no difference in space used when the inputs are parallel, seeing as you still need to place a curve next to it :)

    Been playing this for a bit myself, and not sure what you usually think of info and tips in the comments, but I just have to say two quick things, mostly because you seemed to miss their existence entirely.
    1. You have TWO variants to the painter, one inputs color from the left, the other from the right.
    2. Hold shift while placing conveyors (while doing this, you can press r to switch to the other sides). Holding shift while placing anything else, and it lets you keep placing more without needing to re-select it, This was, more or less revealed in the keybindings popup that you closed quickly.

Do this early enough and you'll be able to skip an entire level, giving you access to ctrl-c and ctrl-v, AND ctrl-x! Very helpful.

    You really needn't worry about space or efficiency in this game. The only real limiting factor is the number of inputs on the hub. There are always more of X somewhere, and even if things seems far away, functionally they aren't.

    On the one hand, this looks like so much fun. On the other hand your setup was so messy from the get-go it was uncomfortable.
