Simple yet addictive game. It quickly gets complicated as you spend time trying to make the most efficient machines that you can.

This is the first automation game that REALLY got me hooked. I've tried a few others at times, but they never really got me thinking and scheming at 2 a.m. to produce "just one more bizarre shape." I really enjoy the chill, non-combat style of the game. Take as much time as you want, expand all you want, without any resource constraints. You will have to scale and refactor and think about the higher level challenges, which is great. You can also leave the game running in the background which is great for stockpiling certain shapes that may help with some aspects...just sayin.
I am able to play this game for 1 or 3 hours chunks at a time, then leave it for several days, come back and still be enthralled by the next 'new thing.' I still have a whole new level of game mechanics with Wires, whatever that is. We'll jump in tonight for sure.

Bought it for 4 quid, lost an evening and became addicted to watching numbers go up/making every conceivable thing possible more efficient and making a mess of track that gets me a blue square at a rate of 1.4 a second over 1.3 a second. Better than Factoria

11 hours doesn't sound like a lot until you realise it's 11 hours out of the last 24. I've been fighting tooth and nail to do anything else and it's just not happening. I went outside, I visited my family, and all I could think about the whole time was conveyor belts and production lines. This stupid game has eaten my brain. I am not well.
9/10, could use a pause button.

A bit like Factorio but without the threat of monsters, or the worry of pollution.
So like Zen Factorio :)

I have whatever brand of autism this game appeals to because damn. I can't stop playing. It's NOT AN IDLE GAME, and I love it for that because that means whatever little system you create to make the current shape you need, you can ALWAYS make it better, and if you truly find the perfect placement circuit, you can always make it bigger. There is a lot of freedom in the game to do what you need and want to do.
If you're interested, get it. It's a shockingly great game.

The game is about building factories and extracting shapes using production lines.
✅Great freedom in designing and optimizing the shape factory.
✅Infinite map, you can produce until the end of the world 😃
✅Building buildings and conveyor belts is free, which makes it easier to experiment and expand the factory.
✅The game requires planning, optimization and strategic thinking, which provides a satisfying depth of gameplay
✅You can chill out as much as possible.
✅The addition of extracting and mixing colors adds another layer of complexity and enjoyment.
✅The price is most appropriate for this game
✅There are no time limits, you can easily produce
❌The game can be complicated at a later stage
❌After some time, this game can get boring because we do the same thing all the time

I swear on god, this game only looks boring. If you have whatever mental disorder I have to end up here, do not buy this game. It made crack look healthy, and you will forget to eat, drink and sleep. I played this game for 25hrs in 3 days to reach 100%. 10/10 game, I don't think I am mentally stable enough to play this game again.
