Dive into a factory-building game where the focus is on just that — building huge factories! Construct sprawling multi-level factories and min-max your layouts without limits. Shapez 2 is tailor-made for enthusiasts who crave the thrill of optimizing production lines and perfecting automation.
In this top-down factory-building game, you extract and process geometric shapes. The core loop involves constructing sprawling, multi-level factories to automate the production of increasingly complex shapes. You must cut, rotate, stack, and paint basic shapes to satisfy production goals and unlock new shape types and technologies.
The primary focus is on building efficient, optimized production lines and factories. You have complete freedom to design your factories without resource constraints or time limits, allowing you to constantly refine and improve your layouts. The game rewards you for creating the most compact, elegant, and high-throughput factories.
One key new feature is the ability to design factories across multiple vertical layers. This adds a spatial dimension to the optimization puzzle, as you must carefully plan how to utilize the available 3D space most effectively. Factories can now expand upwards as well as outwards, opening up new possibilities for compact, modular designs.
The shape-based production process has been expanded with new shape types that introduce unique properties and logistical challenges. You must discover and master these new shape mechanics to produce the required outputs, adding an extra layer of complexity.
The game introduces a train system that allows you to connect distant production stations across your factory networks. Designing efficient train schedules and track layouts becomes an important part of scaling up your operations.
As you progress, you unlock new buildings, mechanics, and upgrades via a tech tree research system. This provides a sense of progression and allows you to continuously expand the capabilities of your factories.
You can save, load, export, and share your factory designs as blueprints. This enables you to easily reuse and iterate on optimized layouts, as well as share your creations with the community.
