Shapez is... different, its not a normal game. Prepare to be dumbfounded over ratios of factories and multiple productions all happening at the same time, all managed by you. I have restarted the game so many times, just to redo and innovate my designs. This game is minimal, but not too minimal, Its not cluttered, but not empty. I find myself preparing for multiple levels ahead of my current goal, making factories before i need them. just remember that this is NOT an idle game, ive got mods before that speed up the game and let me afk farm shapes to level up but i no longer do that, but that was a path i needed to go down, to figure out how to actualy enjoy this game. you paid for it. enjoy it how you want. and end up enjoying it more than before.
Shapez is a top tier automation idle title. It hooks u hard n you can hardly stop playing. Late game I just keep tweaking factory lines nonstop. Occasionally I redo layouts for hours with zero output gains. Still it’s super rewarding to build step by step and finally make all lines run smoothly after countless tries.
