About Shapez.io:
shapez.io is a game about building factories to automate the creation and combination of shapes. Deliver the requested, increasingly complex shapes to progress within the game and unlock upgrades to speed up your factory.
Since the demand raises you will have to scale up your factory to fit the needs - Don't forget about resources though, you will have to expand in the infinite map!
Since shapes can get boring soon you need to mix colors and paint your shapes with it - Combine red, green and blue color resources to produce different colors and paint shapes with it to satisfy the demand.

I can imagine having to split all the shapes into quarters, dye parts of them, then weld them together to create things that are combinations of all the shapes and colors.
This game is madness simplified.... just like factorio and I love it.
Yes!!! It gets absolutely wild as you go along! So much fun!
Later on you end up needing white color, and need to incorporate a harelequin-pattern circle (opposite corners colored differently).
I haven't built the machine for that one, but I think I'm going to paint the whole thing, chop it up, and then weld the colored bits back together.
@@danpowell806 I've been finding that dying shapes before cutting them more efficient than dying pieces.
@@justinwhite2725 thats totally true because if you cut them up to 4 pieces then you‘d need 4 pieces of dye
If you colour them in their full shape you only need 1 piece of colour
Ideal KOS game... no trees.
HAHAHAHA! I literally laughed out loud!
KatherineOfSky so now we'll need to know... what is the real enemy in shapez.io? :)
KOS?
@Corazon Sierra To this day when i see KOS i think Kerbal operating system
@Corazon Sierra Kos is a mod in the game Kerbal Space Pprogram. Not an actual OS
30:40 you can see the rates of the current item in the info window in the top right, when selected.
If you look very closely at cut shapes, you can see a circular shadow under them that shows you which bit of the shape it is.
Yep! That makes it really handy!
Now we have a game to play while taking a break from factorio without suffering too much of a withdrawal.
For us belt-lovers of Factorio, this is heaven! Lovely work as always, Katherine ❤️
Aww, thank you!
Been playing this for a week and absolutely love the relaxing feeling that you just can't get with other similar games. Some of the unlocks you get as you progress allow some really interesting builds.
Love that you tried this one KoS.. Finished the normal game and unlocked the freeplay all ready!
I see this as part Factorio and a Zachtronics game like SpaceChem.
Funny you should mention Zachtronics, it feels like everywhere I go i hear the same sound effects from Infinifactory in massive projects. Most recently Netflix's space force. I guess the library of "cheap and spacy science machine noise" is pretty small, because I swear that half of all scifi i consume ticks off the "why the fuck is there a pusher being extended" thought loop in my head.
Yes. my first thought was SpaceChem
I shall have to give this a try. Glad you're playing again!
Hello KoS, I just saw a German Let's Play of the game and I thought to myself: This would be a game for you! And when I looked at your channel, there was nothing to see at first, but 1 hour later your LP was online. I was very happy about that and it confirmed my assumption. :-) I hope you have as much fun with this game as I did. I like the style and gameplay of Shapez.io and the relaxing soundtrack. I'm looking forward to more episodes of you and I'm curious how you solve the higher levels. Best regards from Germany and good luck with your hands! :-)
Machines have stats. It is in the upper right window that appears when you select a machine for placing (not ctrl drag)
Thabk you for showing this , my remaining eye has deteriated far enogh that I can not play Factorio but the dark theame in this game along with the windows magnifer make this just about playerble
I'm so glad this game might give you some fun!
@@KatherineOfSky The game works much beter with screen readers than factorio still not fully compatable. with factorio I have to use my phone camara and seeing ai to read the tesxt . I will be talking about this at the bucks vistion technology meeting next month.
Thank you for making this video. I had heard about the game, and wanted to see a demonstration. So glad you spent a little of your scarce "hand energy" to bring it to us! Cheers!
It's really interesting because the progression is so intuitive. No FNEI necessary!
I'm so glad you played this game. I recently came back to the game and I like to watch lets play while I'm cooking and I wanted someone I know I would like to listen to. So I hoped you did a lets play - here we are- thank you 🥰
Deffinently play more
So glad you played this, now I can play a factorio that does not hurt my head, have enemies, have # of ore per deposit, like satisfactory almost, just with less computer destruction. Thanks (:
Thanks so much KOS for the like of aprroval (:
Never bought a game so fast, thanks for showing this to everyone KOS!
Have fun!
Same. Helps that the game is only 3.50 bucks on Steam. Basically a no-brainer.
Indeed!
Thank you so much! This is factorio - but all the logistics, none of the manual minining and slow running around speed. Awesome!
One thing I wish I had known earlier is you can click the pin on an upgrade goal to keep it on the main screen. It's nice to have the shapes I'm working on right there to refer to while building. I was opening that menu every 5 seconds until I figured that out. Great minimalist factorio protege!
Thank you for your hard work! I hope you feel better soon. You helped me go through a rough time. Peace!
I hope you're doing better! Hugs!
KatherineOfSky thank you!
So glad to see a new KOS video. Missed a few in the past few months, but this game is such awesome.
In the top right corner you can see the current speed of the machines/belt in your "hand" (inside the info window).
And I personally prefer to place belt by holding shift and dragging rather then just dragging (the green line thingy).
Thank you! I got 17 minutes into your video before buying Shapez on Steam and playing it for the rest of the evening :D
Nice to see you on here again :) Hope you didn't suffer too much with your hands after playing and uploading this interesting video
Really great to see you making content again. Just happy to hear your lovely voice again, making me feel like all will be FINE again. Please take it easy on your hands.
Thank you so much! I still need to be careful how much I do, but it was definitely lovely to get back into things for a bit!
This game reminds me of minedustry a lot.
Yeah
It's like mindustry meets mini metro
It’s more similar to Big Pharma actually
I discovered this video when looking for factorio gameplay, went ahead and bought the game that day, thanks.
Have fun!
This is one of the most chill games I've come across in a long time. Thanks for pointing it out!
This game looks amazing im hooked on factory games again
I was addicted to Cracktorio. Now you introduced me to Shapezione. Thanks. The good part about this is that I've already lost my life to Cractorio so there is nothing else to lose 🤣
hahaha
There is still Satisfactory
Watched it for 10 minutes, restarted and played along with the free version another 10 minutes and then bought it. Great video and nice game.
Missed these series of yours Katherine!
7:48 it took me forever to realize you could use them like that, the tooltip implied it was for mixing tracks or something, which I didn't really see the use of.
I love your shapes.io let's play, it is so organized and I really like it
You can tell what side they are when you hover the belt- there's a light grey circle behind the shapes, that shows you where they're at.
When you zoomed out to the rest of the map I audibly gasped at all the rest of the stuff haha
Really addicting game, and I'm listening to a really comfortable voice over while playing
Enjoy!
Two days ago I was recommended this video, and since then I've been borderline addicted to this game. I am both thankful, but also a bit upset, that you made this video. The game is fun, but if you're not careful you might end up time-skipping too far ahead into the future.
hahahaha! I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
Heh, I've already been playing the game for a few days (Yep, bought it! Yay!) And dang it KoS! From Factorio you've got me calling the tunnels "undergroundies." LOL!
hahaha!
I swear I always learn something from your videos. Didn’t know there was a dark theme option
Woot! Happy to see you play this!
Oh, I already taste those belt spaghetti. Mmm, delicious.
hahaha
just started playing this. your builds are so instructive! thank you so much. :)
Glad you like them!
@Katherineofsky another game that you might like is Gunsmith, its on steam and its in early access
I tried the demo and love this game. It is simple and great fun! Its very addictive!
I got to level 10 after maybe 3 or 4 hours. Now I have assembly lines getting upgrades. How many levels are in the demo?
Ive been playing this for couple weeks now and totally recomend it for people, THE FACTORY MUST GROW
Please do more! Definitely getting this game!
Thanks so much for introducing me to this game 😁
This also gave me a 'Factory Balls' vibe, in that you need to do a number of different operations to produce the final product.
Love it.
Keep them coming Katherine! :D
Looks really nice! I'll try it out!
Oh god this is going to save my quarantine
Its infuriating to watch, I love it! I'm just shouting at the monitor what you could do and I find that funny.
Really cool looking game, thanks for showcasing :)
There's a 'map marker' for your hub that shows your current goal when it's offscreen. I love little qol things like that.
I just got posh new speakers (JBL104s) and your voice sounds even more wonderful! This game looks great.
Congrats on the nice new speakers! :-)
@@KatherineOfSky Thanks, I spoiled myself and got 2 sets so I have 4 in quadrophonic surround, everything sounds amazing!
love that the automation games are becoming an actual genre.factorio,satisfactory, minustry, now shapez
Me too! They're so much fun play!
There are 3 shapes with each one able to be one of 8 colors and 1 null, there is also 4 possible rotations and 4 spot meaning there are a total of 400 unique combinations, 399 if you don't count all nulls. Have fun automating every single one : ]
Nice video :D I played the game a bit. It's quite cool and I like the simplistic visuals. The only thing I hated is the meaningless restriction of no blueprints until level 12. I don't think it gives any smart challenge, instead, you just break your existing machines since you can't keep remaking them manually.
Edit: I hope you get well soon!
when you select a tool look at the top right corner, at the description, it tells you the speed per second. also, the painters are defenitle posible to be set up whith one space separation between them. is a little complicated to explain how so check it out or maybe investigate by yourself. good video i'll be waitting for more :)
You can see the rate of each object in the window that pops up when you select it. These allow you to calculate various ratios (though these ratios change as you get upgrades).
Woahh factorio is my childhood game.
I'll definitely check this out once they roll out a colorblind mode
Tiny oversight, but if you never use it it's easy to overlook. Q = pipet. If you hover your mouse over any object hitting Q just sticks that to your mouse... Wonderfull quality of life make by the dev. What a game.
That wasn't in the game when I made the video -- it was added later :-)
@@KatherineOfSky OUPSSSSSS :-D
I just got Shapez 2 on sale early access on Steam, then realized all this time I had the first Shapez and hadn't played it. Well I guess I should play 1 before 2....but no one told me it was completely addictive. Must make blue pinwheelz in white circlez! Ack!!
couple things for any newbies like me, you can hold down shift to drag and draw belts and corners, and when you have options for things like Rotators, you can hit T to cycle them. 2 fairly important things that don't seem to be mentioned ingame. Cycling with T, I had to find in the keybindings. The hold shift thing was me just trying it since it works for drawing straight lines in MS Paint. I see in this video it says Tab to cycle buildings, but maybe it's changed in the intervening 4 years :)
you can actually see the rates if you select a part.. it clearly says: 33pieces/second etc. .. and if you press T you can switch to alternate layouts. Press G for statistic...
I know it's similar to other games, but for some reason, I could not look away.
I just watched one freaking episode..welp now its in my Steam gaming-list
Thanks for the gameplay KOS, SteelSeries sent me the redeem code for this, was absolutely confused bout this :)
Hope it helped!
nice to see you back at it. How are the cats?
money well spent, the game is satisfying!
A friend recommended me this game. After 10 mins of playtime we stopped & started a Factorio MP session ... Still goin after 32 hours.
Maybe it's not the game for you? After over 2k hours in Factorio, I am enjoying it immensely!
@@KatherineOfSky oh I really like this game but the game started an itch that only factorio could scratch (I mean this in a very good way)
@@RemmelttenNapel Oh yes, I understand that! I am eager to get back to Factorio myself when my hands are a bit better.
30:39 i dont know, if anybody wrote this befor or if you figured it out on your own, but as you build something there is a little window in the top right corner. There you can find the speed of the buildings
This game fits you so well!
Bought this and Satisfactory today in time for Father's Day - but I must resist the urge to play them all weekend and neglect the family!
Have fun!
This game is insane
Looks a lot like Mindustry in terms of functionality.
Try playing this game called mindustry it is like factorio mixed with tower defence it is really fun and the mod potential is really good plus it needs more people to play it. Mindustry is compatible with mobile and pc
I played it when it first came out in early access :-)
@@KatherineOfSky mindustry has changed A LOT since then the version u played on is now mindustry classic and the graphics have improved tenfold and their is completely new mechanics plus online servers too
The fact that this video has 0 dislikes just goes to show that your videos are amazing! Keep up the good work. Hope your neuropathy gets better soon!
Thank you so much!
When you select something look at the top right for description and rate
The popups give a number of items per second when you're placing buildings.
Ahh, nice! I didn't see that!
In the split sense, it's also a lot like infinifactory. I imagine there'll be welding as well.
Indeed there is! :D
The difference between this game with Factorio is that, this game is about crafting. It focuses on how items are actually modified. Still remember opus magnus? But Factorio is something if you put belts in Starcraft. Factorio focuses on battle and railway network more imo. I haven't played this but I played more than 800hours in Factorio. I believe this game would inspire people with new games more in the future than factorio or minecraft or even terraria, oxygen not included.
It depends on how you play Factorio. I'm not at all interested in the fighting and often turn biters off completely to focus on creating the factory. The main difference is in seeing the components and everything added at different stages: all stages being visible. In Factorio, the items are transformed into different items, so you don't have that kind of visual continuity.
@@KatherineOfSky Yes, exactly, and this destines to inspire the next generation of games in this genre. And this kind of games don't need too much knowledge on graphics. Finally, people concentrate on interesting gameplay rather than good looking.
@@KatherineOfSky Btw, a channel is named letao12. That guy released 4 videos in a series last year. The videos showed how to make logical gates with belts in Factorio. Mind blowing. Even for me, the inventor of car-belt system and arbitrary rational splitter, it is absolutely new and so impressive.
21:05 i was screaming at my screen for you to merge
If that gives you pleasure....
Its only £2.89 on Steam at the moment. I bought it after watching about 5 mins of watching this!
i invented the exact painting machine on my first run
First impressions are pretty good. The only thing I would do differently is if you don't pay for belts and the resources are infinite (if they are) then i would build a bit further away from the main hub. Later on that should allow for a bit more space when things get complex.
Indeed! That's what happens when I need more space for structures: you move waaay out to get things put together.
@@KatherineOfSky I bought the game and played until level 12. I will be going into outposts for things like tier 2 colour (and tier 3 white).A bus would be interesting, but I would really like blueprints for that.
32:43 PAIN
Finally a game that my computer can run!
this game also reminds me of mindustry
One of the things about the game I love is figuring out more efficient ways to do things. Especially figuring out how to make things scale.
SPOILER ALERT! This screenshot has spoilers, so anyone reading this: if you don't want it spoiled DON'T OPEN IT!
This is just one way to do this: randomer.net/stuff/shapez-logo-fab.png
Pls can you do more this game seems very interesting
Yeeeeeeeey a nother vid of her
imagine if you could mark something as a series in youtube so it does not recommend the latest episode but the first
That would be nice. However, you can also check the playlist for the series which I link in the description :-)
@@KatherineOfSky more for the convenience though.
@@kimaji Suggest it to RUclips. I have no control over that, alas.
i found out about this game recently, it's amazing and whats even more amazing is that its open source xD the only thing that pisses me off is i cant Q to copy the building im hovering at. seeing as most people come from factorio, that Q thing should be a given
The developer added that into the game! :-)
@@KatherineOfSky that's great, thanks for the reply, your videos are very nice, i learned a lot from your factorio videos back in the day. good luck with the channel 👍
19:16 - she missed an upgrade!
if the whole thing is rotated wrong put a rotator on the final output
It looks like a great game. Not sure why they put "io" in the title though, maybe to sound familiar?
It's the internet address of the game web site.
There is a placement menu in the keybinds
