Instead of providing a fixed roadmap, we want to work on the features that you would like to see next! Please vote for upcoming features and improvements on our Suggestions Portal. About the Game   shapez 2 is a top-down factory-building game where you extract and process geometric shapes. Each shape is its own set of building-blocks that your factories can take apart, stack, paint and put back together in unique ways. Build and automate to produce distinct shapes and solve the production challenge of each goal.       Automate the processing of abstract geometric shapes into more complex ones by cutting, rotating, stacking, painting and more. Deliver distinct shapes to unlock new technologies and expand your factory’s capabilities. Learn, improve, rebuild and solve logistical challenges to design the most efficient shape production lines.       Build in multiple interconnected layers, allowing you to compact and optimize your factories in a whole new dimension. Improve your designs to get the most benefit out of every space platform built and massively increase your production throughput.        shapez 2 is the purest factory building game imaginable - all buildings are free, resources never run out and there are no enemies or time limits. Prepare for a 100% factory-building experience: effortlessly delete, redesign and rebuild as much as you want, with no penalties, at your own pace.         You’re always in complete control - whether the messy spaghetti belts you built 4 hours ago could use some improvements or a whole circle factory needs to go, shapez 2 gives you the tools to do it without limitations.          Start your operation from a single asteroid and continuously expand by building new platforms. Unlock new layouts as you progress, and grow from a single belt into a massive multi-station space factory connected by space trains. Design modular blueprintable platforms to build on a massive scale, placing hundreds of buildings with just one click.       Performance is very important to us, and with the complete rewrite of shapez 2 in a new engine, we're doing our best to make sure that massive factories run smoothly - even with the all-new 3D visuals!       Multi-Layer 3D Factories : Design and optimize your factories in a whole new dimension Trains : Connect distant stations with a network of space trains Research System : Unlock buildings, mechanics & upgrades in the all-new tech tree New Shape Mechanics : Discover new shapes types with unique properties and logic Game Modes : 4 game modes, including a hexagonal shape mode Blueprint Library : Save, load, export and share factory design blueprints with anyone All-new Visuals : Build factories and stations in a stunning immersive space environment Fluids : Use different types of liquids to process shapes Animated Open Buildings : See exactly what's happening inside buildings in your factory Undo/Redo : Up to 50 undo/redo operations

Press Quotes

“shapez 2 is like if you stripped down the moment-to-moment joys of a game like Satisfactory or Factorio to their most primal elements and left all the rest behind.” IGN “... shapez 2 has, in my mind at least, turned the holy trinity of factory games (Factorio, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program) into a holy quartet.
