If you dig automation/factory games like Factorio, Satisfactory, Foundry, or Mindustry, this game is that concept stripped down to its bare essentials. It does something unnerving to my brain where I begin playing it at 9:01pm, and the next time I look at the clock it is 2am and I have to be at work in four hours and I have no f*cking clue what just happened.

The game is fun and looks like real industrial plant. You have to plan the connections, optimize the flow, work with many floors, account for concurrency, limited resources, different requisites of the shapez being ordered.
I strongly recommend. is a very cerebral game, with problem solving skills required

I Love this game!
Factorio but with only the satisfying parts.
Feels like basic programming, and you get the same sense of genius when you optimize the machines on one space block and then can easily combine multiple building blocks into a bigger whole.
(just finished the main questline, currently debating whether I want to build a make anything machine)

Fantastic game. The developers could give a master class on UI design alone. They've done an excellent job creating a seamless interface that's intuitive and easy to use. It's especially impressive given the variety of modules you have to work with and how they interact with each other in a 3D space.
The game play loop is great as well, requiring constant tweaking of your factory to meet changing output requirements in a way that's enjoyable rather than frustrating. Previous factory games I've played felt like I had to tear down the majority of the work I'd done in order to accomplish the next round of output requirements or to optimize, usually with an associated build cost and grind. Here, the output requirements scale up well, requiring you to only change portions of your factory and it's fun figuring out what sections can be re-tasked and which one's are obsolete.
I can't really fault the game on anything but an additional feature that could be interesting is a leader board for time to complete all requirements. Maybe adding weekly challenge scenarios.

Love it. I can tell how much time the devs put into the tutorial to ensure the players understand everything about the game little by little throughout their journey.

Complexity and efficency done right. You have to actually design your pieces instead of traditional automation that centers around getting the right number of pieces to the right place. Efficiency is finding a way to manufacture the piece in less steps with less wasted material instead of finding a recipe that uses different materials that you have to change assembly lines for.
Creating yourself a make anything machine in the late game is ridiculously fun. It takes seeking efficiency to the next level and who does love logic gates!?

This game scratches an itch that Factorio and Satisfactory couldn't do for me. For some reason, my brain more easily grasps this concept of sourcing shapes and modifying their outputs. Game runs really well on extreme settings at 4k native on a rx7900xtx at 120fps locked - we'll see what happens when the milestones get more challenging and the spaghetti starts to really form. UI is so well thought out too, it plays a huge role in making this game accessible, well done!

This is a very well polished game. I haven't bumped into any bugs, overall this game is very addicting. If you want to relax, listen to some chill music while your creating a logistical nightma... I mean logistical factory, this is for you. Even though this was in early access, I totally recommend if you like the factory building genre.

I've played alot of the big factory building games and mods out there, Factorio, Satisfactory, The Create mod, but none come quite close to the pure enjoyment of factory building as Shapez 2 does, it feels more like a combination between a logistics problem sheet and a factory builder, with the simple beauty of being able to just create a design that works 9 times out of 10, assuming you don't fuck up the rotations, I've only put about 12 hours into a single save so far, but so far the game has eased me into its mechanics, and helped me significantly with understanding throughput and ratio's, which is a system I've had trouble with in other factory building sims, this game is a must if you love factory builders like me, don't let its simplistic nature or unlimited resources fool you either, this game will get you thinking just the same as Factorio or Satisfactory!
P.S. This game tickles my autistic brain in beautiful ways, if you have autism and like factory builders this is a great game to keep you stimulated :)
