unlabelledView post →I am going to obsess over this game the way I did with Shapez, I can feel it.
unlabelledView post →One if my top ten games is Shapez, and that game looks like this:
unlabelledView post →If you're revenge-bedtime-maxxing, I recommend starting up an automation game like Satisfactory or Shapez 2 at like 11:30. It'll be 4am before you know it.
unlabelledView post →Shapez - #playdate learning project 🟨🧵 I recently got the itch for actually diving into Playdate development, so we hopped into the API and SquidGods channel and went ahead to make a little shooter game. Aiming for a very small scope, just to dip our toes into the system. #gamedev #indiedev #lua
unlabelledView post →My game is obviously inspired by: • Factorio • Incredibox • Shapez 2 • Just Shapes & Beats p.s. Happy Stranger Things Day! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #unity3d
unlabelledView post →Shapez 2 is is the game I always wanted factorio to be as someone who doesn't find the combat or resource management super engaging. The sheer range of scale you can pull off even when you don't know what you're doing is crazy. It's like the best parts of the factory genre with nothing I don't like
unlabelledView post →Guy who's only played Shapez seeing his second game: #gamedev #indiegame
unlabelledView post →*highly* recommend Shapez 2 if you're into automation games. Nowhere near as difficult as Factorio, but thats because throughput ratios are all based around clean, round numbers. Resource patches are infinite, and curves in belts don't affect throughput. Extremely player-friendly game 🙏
unlabelledView post →🔴LIVE! Building MASSIVE Shape Factories in Shapez 2! New game released today! > > > www.youtube.com/live/MCQpN_l... < < < #Zedaph #Shapez2
unlabelledView post →It's version 1.0. The game has "Factory" in the title. 2 good reasons to have a look again at Shapez 2 - Factory! See you in a couple minutes over at twitch.tv/jaybirbgames! CAW!
unlabelledView post →For factory game perverts, this year has been CRAZY. Shapez 2, Factorio: Space Age, and Satisfactory all launched within like a month of each other.
unlabelledView post →Apparently I'm in the top 2.2% of Shapez 2 players lmfao this game is *so* much easier than Space Age (Also I got a ton of real work done yesterday 😊)

unlabelledView post →Thinking of jumping back on Shapez for my factory game fix...
unlabelledView post →Shapez 2 is coming in November with the launch of 1.0. The update will include Steam achievements, mod support, and a new game mode. "With this new game mode, we are focusing on enabling you to build permanent factories." Link: store.steampowered.com/news/app/216... #indiegame
unlabelledView post →Shapez 2 is a great automation game. Shapez 2 is also melting my brain as I play it objectively the wrong way. Don't be like me and make literal garbage machines directly on the hub and repeatedly tear them down.
unlabelledView post →Shapez 2 1.0 beginners who played the original will hit a wall at research tier 3 because the upgrade paths changed. The conveyor logic that worked in early game becomes a bottleneck. Here's what to build differently. #indiegames #automation #shapez2
unlabelledView post →Trying out a new cozy game (Tiny Bakery) that I won from a giveaway from @sweetanners.bsky.social ! Then maybe Shapez 2 full release? www.twitch.tv/gospelexe
unlabelledView post →*inhale as the wacko warner song starts* Arcaea, Minecraft, Curse Words a “word” game that’s that, the Shapez, as well as Shapez 2 Hitman one to 3, Tiling Forest of trees, Tetris Effect, and Lumines too Void Stranger, Zero Ranger…. Ok, it has just been playing a lot and needs to trim the backlog…
unlabelledView post →I only ever reached factorio midgame. I reeeeeally hated being limited to a character on screen. It slowed down my ability to execute on designs. Shapez does exactly what I wanted, it's like a strategy game control scheme
unlabelledView post →Prototyping a factory automation game with #clojurescript just to see if I can actually make something fun. Also largely thinking of #shapez.io and #factorio as I tinker with this. This little video shows some basic working things like belts (grey) and grabbers (blue). I need to come up with elements to make this actually fun and challenging. I need a goal product and interesting resources as well as more machine mechanics. Lots to think about and prototype, but this is an exciting step!
unlabelledView post →this is what I like about Shapez 2 the game itself actually plays just like the planning tools for factorio and such do!
unlabelledView post →Shapez 2 is currently £15 on Steam and if you're the kind of person who is soothed by making numbers go up and building lovely efficient interlocking assembly lines then welcome to your new time suck. It's Factorio, distilled to its purest essence. store.steampowered.com/app/2162800/...

unlabelledView post →Shapez and Mini Metro are solid board-game-adjacent games, and Pesticide Not Included is one of my favorite Vampire Survivors clones. Some decent stuff in here.
unlabelledView post →Have you tried Shapez? It's that kinda game but with no frills, just pure problem solving.
unlabelledView post →I have the Shapez 2 game music in my head. Infectious little brainworms. Send help.
unlabelledView post →twitch.tv/bug_deal mirror's edge is cool and will continue on tuesday most likely. but now, finally checking out shapez 2 #shapez #shapez2 #game [🟣Live!]
unlabelledView post →It's for the game Shapez 2, where you build little factories on platforms and then connect those platforms together. This is an out-of-game optimization tool that, given a spec, places the machines in the factory, routes the conveyor belts, and writes it to a file I can import.

unlabelledView post →Shapez 2? It's a factory game but I'd die instantly. No enemies or anything but there's nothing to suggest that there's anything in the way of food or oxygen.
unlabelledView post →Haha I hope I don't get a reputation as a professional timewaster 😅 on mobile? Shapez is a very sticky automation game which also has a steam version and a sequel if you want it to haunt your whole day. Balatro and Ball x Pit always sound choices. Polybridge 2 is also just as good on mobile.
unlabelledView post →Shapez 2 is different but familiar if you played 1. One of the main differences is it's sort of a two-level game. You build small little "factories" just like in 1, with the same machines and operators. But then you can save those as a blueprint, and you can stamp those to make megafactories.
unlabelledView post →it's mostly Shapez that i wanna play yea lol i just saw a video about the 2nd game that just came out and i'm salivating about it
unlabelledView post →Its time to re visit a factory game i had so much fun with last year: Shapez 2!! And this time im doing it with an OSHA approved outfit! 🎨: @/Nofaru_ www.twitch.tv/captain0punz
unlabelledView post →I have completed level 25 of #Shapez. Level 26 includes: - wires-layer stuff I'm not interested in - a request for 50k of that rocket shape I've been beating my head against for a week - a suggestion that I build an Everything Machine I think it's time to try playing Shapez 2.
unlabelledView post →Got a conveyer built long enough that it takes five minutes for the "delivered" graph to catch up with the "produced" graph. The #Shapez achievement is "I need trains" which yeah I can see that. (played the Shapez2 demo yesterday and that had me itching for time with the old-school-but-finished version)
unlabelledView post →Eigentlich war #shapez schon letzte Woche das gratis Epic Game, aber weil heute mordhau drin ist und das nix für mich ist, holen wir natürlich das Puzzlespiel nach :D Wie jeden Freitag ab 6 Uhr live beim #FrühstücksZock @ http://twitch.tv/InsertMoin ✌☕🥐🎮
unlabelledView post →I did manage to sneak in a piece for @tobsprgames.bsky.social's Puzzlez spin-off of the Shapez series yesterday. You don't see a lot of the "fit it all in any way you can" style of automation gaming, so it's nice to see a new one is on the way. hardcoregamer.com/taking-autom...
unlabelledView post →Shapez Studio Unveils Puzzle Spin-Off puzzlez for 2027 on PC tobspr Games announced puzzlez, a shapez game, a standalone puzzle spin-off for PC in 2027. Over 75 compact factory puzzles where insight beats efficiency. Started as shapez 2 DLC, grew into its own series.
unlabelledView post →Shapez 2 is some good video game.
unlabelledView post →I'm curious: will this be a level-based puzzle factory game, or something closer to Shapez? (Factory that is just always expanding longer and longer, and adapting old parts for newer stuff)
unlabelledView post →The problem I had before is that even when running a relatively light game like Shapez 2 here, both the CPU and GPU would shoot up to 80 deg C in no time and then creep up further towards 100 deg C as I played. And look at it now! This is after the game has been running for 2-3 hours!
unlabelledView post →The problem I had before is that even when running a relatively light game like Shapez 2 here, both the CPU and GPU would start around 80 deg C (which is already quite hot) and then creep up over time until they both reach 100+ and the laptop would randomly […] [Original post on dosgame.club]
unlabelledView post →Needed a game slower than Hades 2 so I got the new Shapez 2. I like factory building games and the 1st one is popular but with all factory games....steep ass curve and a while to get into
unlabelledView post →Literally unplayable!!! I want to build spaghetti! #shapez #shapez2
unlabelledView post →Introduced the child to automation games. Today, it's #shapez. One day, #Factorio?
unlabelledView post →One of my favorite tablet games went all in on microtransactions, robbing me of my enjoyment of it. In looking for alternatives, I landed on #shapez. I'm really enjoying it, though as the shapes you need to make get more complex, it can make my brain hurt, especially trying to make things compact. I think I also need to look at what I can tear down as I've leveled and upgraded some machines. If you like factory games, you might like this one.
unlabelledView post →I am really enjoying the Shapez game. Its relaxing and reminds me of old logic puzzle games. #Shapez #Steam #Gaming
unlabelledView post →Dear Fediary: Yesterday I was reminded why "digital diogenes" is a good thing, sometimes. I was talking #shapez w a friend and I wanted to show him my factory, but... The save was GONE! SteamDeck let me play it just fine, but my desktop said that it was synced with the cloud and that there were no savs there. I tried everything, but exporting the .bin on the deck was bugged, and copypasting it on my desktop didn't have any results. Finally I decided to just copy the whole deck shapez folder and…

unlabelledView post →Playing a bunch of #shapez while sick at home, and just unlocked the quad printer. It's the first programmable element; it can apply color separately to each quadrant of the output, controlled by a set of four wires. However, I think its efficiency is pretty poor, as it consumes 4x paint for each shape. A previous unlock uses only 0.5x paint per shape (as long as you give it two inputs at a time, which is trivial.) White paint has to be assembled from red+green+blue which consumes a bunch of…
