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 actually like this game MORE than Factorio, I hope this becomes a long running series. Thanks for the constant content, I hope you have a good one!
I love hearing KoS's narrating her thought process, (I do the same with "well that division doesn't look right, maybe rather than x/y it should be y/x ?") I'm not sure if its just because it arrived in my life first, but I still prefer Factorio, (though this game looks great. I like the abstract nature and the branching complexity that is possible from such simple components.)
This game is fun, but it seems like it won't have much replayability
@@odomobo Yeah. Still, it'll be fun while it lasts!
@odomobo: if you check out the Steam page, it seems there is a lot more coming to the game! Considering we've already seen changes and improvements, seems like the developer will be working hard on more content.
Wherever possible paint the items before you cut them, then you need fewer paint operations, especially if the painters are the bottleneck.
-The colours are RGB. R+G=Y, R+B=M, G+B=C- Never mind, you unlocked the instructions immediately :P
As soon as you finish building something, maybe you should stay and watch it for a second before moving on.
Just see if it looks fine, runs at the expected speed. Same thing as in other series', you rush on and never notice the machines not even starting :)
After all, you did notice the issues after looking at the build once more - but if you never look, you never see.
That's not foolproof by any means- several times I've connected an output and seen a solid belt of stuff leave only because there was a buffer built up on the belts, and half of the miners weren't connected properly.
Watching and yelling through the screen like "NOO KoS! those are CYAN stars" but you caught it :)
I'm feeling the same about the topmost purple mixer and all but the left of the purple circle painters.
@@cjrecord Me and the missing elbow bend on the furthest-right cyan mixer.
The Level Completed screen always completely startles me. It's like: I'm concentrating on setting something up and suddenly *SSHING!* it pops up right in my face.
hahaha
You should colour the blue squares before cutting them
I was internally screaming at the screen about this, because you can do two or so miners and saturate an entire belt because it ends up becoming 4 half's after painting.
Just be careful not to scare yourself, Kuro! ;-)
You are a GENIUS. Thanks
You don't have to though 💜
@Caspar Smith this is amerika!!! We can waste whatever we want
The windmill _is_ a fourth shape (not made using stars or squares), and I think there actually aren't any complete windmills on the map -- you have to mine shapes that have windmill pieces, cut them apart, and stick the windmill pieces together.
yeah thats what I did
When trying to calculate throughput, remember that the output of each cutter is double that of the input.
Yep!
Hey, Katherine thanks for being so diligent in testing out features and giving great feedback for the dev(s)? I noticed that you can chain together the extractors. So you can extract shapes or colors from the middle of a group to the outside the extractors will turn a darker gray if they are feeding into another extractor. Kind of like chain mining I guess.
Yes you need to switch to the grey extractor variant when you unlock it and then you can chain them. That has saved me tons of effort with extracting.
If no one else has said it yet, the colors are based on primary colors of light. Red Green and Blue, which mix to the secondary colors Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta, or mix all three for White.
Weird that it's using the additive colors rather than subtractive because you are "painting colors" in this game.
@@xinythi to be fair her "paper", or background is black.
Thanks KoS for showing me the kind of game I enjoy and will run on my antique PC.
Yay you did more thx I am loving this series so far
If you hold shift when placing belts, you can make straight lines with a 90 degree bend (R to rotate the bend). Makes making long belts *much* easier.
to place straight belts or align other machines, i don't move the mouse but run myself:
WASD always move exactly horizontal and vertical, and i also can more easily build something on every Nth tile.
(maybe this method is especially useful for *me* since i have to use a trackball instead of a mouse)
This game is really addictive. Im playing for a few hours, at level 15 right now and I cant stop
33:45 - i'm so glad you found the error in the purple circle painting 😂😂 i was borderline yelling at the screen
Yesssssss, I was hoping P.2 would not be too far out :) thank you!
I just found you and this series. You are very entertaining and enthusiastic. Keep up the good work. Officially subscribe 😁😁
Awesome! Thank you! Enjoy the videos!
I was yelling at my screen about the cyan error
I went and bought the game. Thanks for showcasing it KoS :)
KOS: "Belts are moving so fast and holy fuzzy cats 20k needed"
Me: *side glancing at her with while needing over 100k of a complex shape and belts moving so fast they look like their moving backwards.*
KoS!!!! Shapez.io literally 1h ago did an update that makes the rebinding appear correctly on the bottom GUI. You can also click q to pick up buildings under cursor, also darktheam is now in menu!!!! Yay
I saw! It's awesome!
I think this game need lore. Factorio has the "you crashed on a planet and need to get off". Your cake idea is great. "The wicked Lord Sprinkles requires cake to live and demands that you make cake decorations for her empire. Fashions keep changing and the galactic population keeps rising, so you are forced to make ever more elaborate decorations."
ROFL!
Aristotle came up with the perfect shape, but now they are lost and we should make a factory in an attempt to find them all over again.
KoS, you can push T to flip your painters, and use the underneathie trick. Way simpler paint shop.
There's options in the settings to speed up or slow down the scroll speed using the keys, and an option to make the shift operation on all on the time, then you right click to stop placing the item.
In case of the painter undergroundies (around 10:00), you can actually drag those along as well. But only if all the spaces they need to go are occupied with buildings (not belts, it will replace belts), which is the case for that particular painter 'blueprint' :)
I'm very glad that you make more videos Katherine :D
7:00 You forgot that there will be 2x as many items because of the cutter. You have reached the belt's capacity!
Yep!
Interesting! I've been wondering if the items/sec of the machine's description refered to each, input, each output, the sum of each input or the sum of each output
Thanks for the video ! It was great and i hope that you will go on this series 😊
18:20 you're thinking RGB color mixing. blue + green == cyan, g+r==yellow r+b == magenta, r+b+g == white Here luminesce isn't included so no need to deal with the levels of each of those colors its either full bright or off. (so it seems for now)
Edit: I like Yndostrui's version of this comment better than mine.
Woah, I was playing this game... You are crushing this game! Even with your mistake, like..oop, fixed.. belt filled. haha
KatherineOfSky if you hold down "Left CTRL" and left click drag you can select multiple objects and copy paste them
This only works after hub level 12 when you unlock the feature. If you try it before then it just gives an error (KoS did this in Episode 1).
You can still use CTRL to multi-select before then, but all you can use it for is mass-deletion of everything in an area.
Pretty sure the section of your base making right-half circles can be simplified now that you can rotate products counter-clockwise rather than rotating them clockwise three times.
Yep!
Thanks to your last vid on Shapez.io I bought the game and I just had to force interrupt myself after a nine hours session. Level 12, blueprints, 💪🏼
Woot!
Colour mixing can either be additive or subtractive.
Additive is when you are mixing different colours of light, like on a computer screen. The primary colours for additive mixing are red, green, and blue.
Subtractive is when you are mixing pigments, like paint. The primary colours for subtractive mixing are cyan, magenta, yellow.
The secondary colours for each of them are the primary colours of the other. For example, additive mixing has RGB as primary colours and CMY as secondary colours. To get a secondary colour, use the two primary colours not in the position you want.
RGB
CMY
C = G + B
M = R + B
Y = R + G
Subtractive mixing works analogously, but it looks like the game uses additive mixing anyway. (Which... doesn't make sense. It should use subtractive, since we are mixing pigments here, but I guess programmers are more familiar with additive mixing)
Whenever I've mixed pigments, e.g. paint, I was taught Red, Yellow, Blue, not CMYK. It's interesting how many ways there are to blend color!
@@KatherineOfSky The primary colours for subtractive mixing are actually CMY, not CMYK. The K is just black, which you theoretically get by mixing all colours together. Printers use an additional black cartridge because it is very common, the paper would get soggy from all the ink, and... things don't always work that way in practice. (Mixing pigments is actually not strictly subtractive. If you take cyan pigment, which prevents red light from being reflected, and add magenta pigment, which prevents green light from being reflected, chances are the result will reflect a bit of both.
People are commonly taught red, yellow, and blue instead of cyan, magenta, and yellow. Historically, it was believed those were the primary colours, but our understanding of physics and human anatomy has since changed our understanding of colour. Plus... Red, Yellow, and Blue are a lot easier to teach a child than Cyan, Magenta, and Blue.
nice thing about the game (one of many) is not really needing to slow down the game because shapes and dyes are infinite. The hub can't clog up. It can power along while you figure out something and you haven't LOST precious resources.
The color system you are thinking of is an additive RGB mixing system. R+G+B=White. Real world paints are subtractive, where mixing more colors makes it darker. Think of mixing light, not paint.
Kos, I LOVE that you find your whoopsies or at least look for them!
Ik as a watcher, its easier to notice those whoopsies than the person playing. But whenever u notice a mistake and fix it.. and i get to delete my comment, I am so happy. I feel rude pointing them out, but I also feel like that bad friend Who doesn't yell you when you have broccoli in your teeth if i don't say something.. its an international strugle.. and i think that is the exact instance when you act first and ask for forgiveness after yaknow.. ... but im happy you look! Lol
It's funny when we allready start typing cause we don't want to forget what happened and later it's fixed indeed haha.... I made that mistake yesterday typing a comment on ep1. At this moment there is a Q = pipet function implemented in the game. I forgot to check if that was in the top left corner of her screen, it wasn't...yet..... 'oupsss' ;-) but great what the developper is doing. These Idie guys!
Hey Katherine! Hope things are going well. This game looks quite entertaining. I bet you could double your production of blue rectangles if you painted the squares first, and then cut them and rotated them after. Cheers!
With the painters I flip them so you can feed into them like factorio having the colour run top and bottom and a double feed in the middle with the tunnels moving finished items to the next block. so every painting station does 2 at the same time. Looks very similar to the factorio designs you do.
Sounds interesting!
you're going to be so upset when you find out blueprints have a cost, and you have to keep a steady supply of blueprint shapes being made to keep using them, other than that I am very much enjoying this game.
Seriously?
Nothing else in the game has a cost but blueprints do?
If you keep a full belt going I haven't found it to be a problem because as I've needed to copy larger things the speed of the belts and machines have gone up. If you go copy crazy then having 2 belts going in wouldn't be too hard. Also if you just keep items flowing into the hub unless you really need the slot you end up saving quite a bit of grind.
Just don't delete the line that makes those shapes, and you won't run out.
The cost is super cheap and you will end up with tons of the thing it uses for currency
I think the tradeoff is more than fair: definitely not upsetting in any way. Since you keep producing those items any way, you'd have to build HUGE to use up that many parts. ... I think I did 12 i/s ... so 720 items per minute .... That's quite a few structure to put on the ground ;-)
You can hold down shift when using the keyboard scrolling to scroll faster
That's exactly how they make those cake decorations. Take shitty grey sugar and squirt food coloring on it and stick it in the box.
@KatherineOfSky if you click the pushpin next to a new shape in the upgrade menu it will show up on the left side of the screen
My absoloute favourite youtuber all time
PS. Shapez.io is my favourite game!💜
Love it ! You got yourself a new viewer 😁
Wait What You can Flip the Apply Colour!! I never knew, this makes things so much simpler
That’s RGB - red, Green and Blue. It’s the additional color model. Like in a TV and monitors
i think the reason i feel this is better than factorio is it removes in its entirety the tedium of crafting things and running out of resources.
Factorio is easy at its core but the sheer amount of automation needed late game is mindboggling because you gotta build everything before you can start putting them down...only to realize you were off 1 square and gotta rip it all up again
I don't think it's better or worse than Factorio... I think it's just different, and really fun.
You can actually make the color mixers more compact.
Have a row of them side by side, then have a balancer feeding directly into half of one and half of the next one.
Then feed a given color into every other balancer. And have the other color feed into the rest of the balancers
Because it doesn't matter which side a given color comes in on.
It's nice that there are so many ways to do things!
In factorio blueprints are quite late as well because they are rally powerfull especially when building stuff doesn't cost anything like in this game
I don't see needless clicking as a benefit. IMO in Factorio, BPs are far too late, as are robots.
Mrs. Of Sky! I'm you from the future! White paint is a nightmare if you try to build it onsite! The solution is do the opposite of what the game tells you in the tutorial and tear down everything once you get Underground Belts 2. You build color and shape mainbusses parallel to your delivery line. (I like to do RGB north of the hub, CMYW south of it, and split the shapes on either side of the hub however the ores make sense, but I flipped a coin when I was making the decision, so your timeline might shake out a little bit differently. :) )
Warp Zone: I am KoS of the Future: the solution is build everything on site. A bus is only useful if you are using fractions of a belt. When you want a full belt of shapes, there's no point to carting it from distant areas. If you _want_ to build a bus, just for the fun of it, feel free! But it is generally wasteful.
I've realized this game is an analogy to python data wrangling with nested lists. Weird.
Programming shows up in many forms...
I bet this (and factorio and similar games) are technically turing complete...
this is basically functional programming
@@KuraIthys yep they are, I'm in fact creating a complete CPU in factorio.
I could imagine making an animation of the people making cakes with the shapes, and I kind of want to do it, if you would be willing to allow me to.
That sounds hilarious!
It takes the same amount of time and dye to color a half square as to color a whole square. I'm looking forward to watching you figure out more space-efficient painting arrays.
im progressing into a more complex shape here soon. checkered red and white circle as the background shape. I figure it will be easiest to paint entire pieces, then cut and recombine (one white circle can now contribute to two whole checkered circles), than to cut everything down, paint, and combine.
There are definitely a lot of options. When I got to that shape, I did things a bit differently :-)
Yay, #2 (: have an amassing day KOS, see you next time.
I think the gaming community has named the shape (at around 17:00) with the Green top in a circle plus a star shaped bottom in Cyan as a "Squid" shape. Probably easier than "circley bits and starry bits" he he
It looks more like a jellyfish to me!
@@KatherineOfSky Squid.
@KatherineOfSky ITS more of a squid it has 2 tentacles which is close to 10(the number of tentacles squid s have) jellyfish have lots of tentacles
5 extractors can max out belts at the same tier, so use 5 per belt.
I wonder if for a new game if it would be efficient to do a color bus and a basic shape bus. I like that there is a logical progression to the crafts and all of the "recipes" can be sussed out from color and shapes.
Because of the large quantity of shapes required by the Hub, I don't think a main bus would serve any purpose, since I am planning each assembly for a full belt of material. (In Factorio, you usually use fractions of a belt for each assembly). It could be an interesting project though.
@@KatherineOfSky I hadn't thought about it like that. but that would be a pretty tight bottle neck. Back to the drawing board for me then! :)
Purple and green make cyan. Got it.
Adding on the hotkey bar, maybe also make it changeable without going to the settings.
you can massively simplify your color mixer by feeding off the balancer on both sides of the mixer.= is balancers - is mixer =-
I don't see how that would simplify things: perhaps I am not understanding your comment.
@@KatherineOfSky looks like this imgur.com/a/b2ypU9H
i just started this video but really you should always try to paint first cut second
otherwise you have to paint twice as many items
Depends on what you are painting, but that can indeed be a good strategy.
@@KatherineOfSky I was just referring to the blue rectangles you were making. Does Indeed not apply to every situation
u also missed a cyan making place at the end!
R we all going to just ignore how she forgot to hook up all the paint
You can ignore anything you want
Lol
Mix it and mix it and mix it
I think that they are making quilts!
Agreed!
Am I the only one going crazy about the fact that she already unlocked blueprints in the last episode!?
Did you watch the episodes out of order? I unlocked them at the end of episode 4. You're commenting on episode 2
Ha..As i saw this game on steam some days ago , i need! to buy it. My first thought was:
"He that would be a game, for KoS"....
So here we go... ;o)
for me it was the opposite ...
saw KoS play this game and before i even had looked at the info tab, i had searched it on steam and bought it :-)
and with THAT price, you couldn't do anything wrong anyway ...
.....am I crazy or is her way of thinking and speaking like direwolf20 its almost amazing to realise.
Wouldn't it be more beneficially to paint first and cut later? Then you wouldn't need so many painters.
Depends on the shape and what you need.
Also, if 8/1.2 =6.6, then you‘ll want 7 paint mixers to get a full belt
I always find it sad when the epp is over😔
04:00 I have been playing this recently and posted to your Discord in "any_game_chat". There is a few repeatable layouts there. I got blueprints and they are pretty good. You don't store them though, so you do need to select and copy each time. They also have a cost, but that shouldn't be an issue.
18:20 One thing that wasn't clear to me is to make white, you mix 2 tier-2 colours (cyan/magenta/yellow). It does show the colour mixing on the icon. If you hold shift you seem to scroll faster.
That's a little odd, it should be a tier-2 colour plus the one remaining colour. Yellow (R + G) plus magenta (R + B) would give R + G + B + R = red, as it would be the same as mixing white and red. Which, interestingly enough, is also how you would print red using CMYK.
@@K-o-R yeah, it confused me as I was expecting a 3 colour blender. Just wasn't very clear.
@@K-o-R Color mixing is additive, so follows light beam rules and not paint rules. White + anything = white because white is already a mix of everything.
Actually you don't need two tier 2 colours. I got white by mixing one tier secondary colour and the remaining primary colour, exactly like light
I've been avoiding looking in discord because I want to discover the game for myself :-)
That colour system looks like Red, Green & Blue, only someone has a weird sense of what Red looks like...
Maybe it's something else, but that's what it most looks like to me...
It is RGB. The red is a little darker than the others, but also monitors aren't consistent on what red is what. To help the ladder doing a calibration on your monitor would help with odd colors.
@@blaegme I have two different monitors and I've calibrated both.
It doesn't come out as dark red, it comes out as orange.
One display is better calibrated than the other, but it's definitely orange on both.
And since this is youtube the red of the youtube logo is an easy reference to another shade of red...
Tons of other shades of red in fact.
So, yeah...
Even on a monitor whose colour calibration I have checked repeatedly, this comes out as orange, rather than red...
BRUH!? the purple factory place you forgot to put a converter belt to the other painter things so only 1 is working!!!
excellent
You shouldve colored the cubes before you split them. You wouldve had the same size but. Your calculating the ratio of extraction to painting. But you only have half of what you needed because you doubled the amount bc of splitting.
First of Love the Series, but... if you take stars of a line to color them the combination of colored and not colored stars is still a full line
Yep -- I mentioned that in the episode, I think :-)
KoS, are you ever going to continue your UnderMine playthrough?
Probably not. I enjoyed the game, though!
am going to see how to make light blue I forgot to make it
Couldn’t you color them before you cut them so you only need half the painters? Never played so I have no idea.
Yes, that is possible and would be 2 times faster.
Her magenta circles were set up wrong. Man this annoyed me. Lol
Glad she caught it later. Lol
This game is marvelous, but oh my god. It badly, badly needs blueprints faster.
Agreed!
KOS you haven't reached blueprints in the game yet, you don't get to use them yet :) You may be the Belt Diva but there's no folio of blueprints to load into your save like Factorio. ENJOY being constrained because of your low level :)
this is the experience of most of your viewers, we lack your superpowers
hahaha!
Hm... do you have to mix the light and then apply it to the shape, or can you put a colored shape through a different painter and add a new color?
If you add a stacked shape, I believe it will paint the entire thing. I'll try it out.
@@KatherineOfSky Tested it myself, if you put a shape through the painter it replaces all the existing color.
i'm yelling at the screen that you didn't connect the colors, I know you fixed it, but I had to yell anyway!
As long as you are enjoying yourself! XD
@@KatherineOfSky I definitely am :D
already at level 11
Why not try different designs instead of building the same thing each time.? I like that you do not have copy and paste because you can experiment on the designs as you progress.
I do different designs as the series progresses
20k of a widget eh? It's a good time to allow the game to run while you chill with the cats.
That's the point of the game: there's no time to chill... just move on to the next product. The more you build, the faster you'll progress. It's not an idle game.
You need more and more, but generally by the time you fill a belt with a shape you need you've gotten an upgrade, and every upgrade gives you a new shape, more complex than the last.
And most of the level up abilities give you something that would have been really great for the last shape you made, which is fine because the next shape you want is going to need all of that and more.
Hi Kathi, wonderful as always to listen to you. :) Simply love your voice and pronounciation.
But in this video its a bit cringy to see that you sometimes forgot a lanepiece here and there so that one or more mixers, colourizers (is that a word?) f.e. are not working. ;)
I almost caught myself pointing at my screen yelling: "There... put it there. Look ... please" *grumble* :D :D
no seriously .. keep on. You do a wonderful job with your videos. Thank you!
PS: Ok, at minute 33 you got it. *uff* thank you :D
ok i realized u have fixed it.
By definition it is magenta, not fuchsia
Oh dear
ITS PURPLE RED AND BLUE MAKE PURPLE ITS A LIGHT SHADE OF PURPLE
@@nicolefee9936 that is with paints, with light it would be magenta.
i have like 3 hours in this game and i’m only putting in single digits deliveries rip
It takes a while to grok the game :-)
I got completely confused watching you start the mixing. I lay out everything horizontally because the screen is bigger in that direction, so I kept trying to figure out how your layout was going to extend to the side. Complete brain stall.
Pausing the video might help a bit if you are translating the positions of the machinery.
By the way I'm on my sister's tablet💜
My name is Joseph 🤣
hiya
Really good intro, not begging for subs, I subbed because of that! Good Work!
Also tip for any whoone who wants to play on web you need to be on computer and go to shapez.io
but it's a demo
1815 play time
where is the main bus ????
Not needed. The game wouldn't function well that way, as far as I have seen.
@@KatherineOfSky rethorical question sorry, due to your epics videos on factorio ... i love this minimal game. humour haha is kind difficult between french and american. but keep on your videos. i do love it. Here i am .. an 48 years old french gameuse ..
Tmw you come up with a massive dying complex, and someone on RUclips does it with a quarter of the area. Feelsbadman
"dying complex" uh oh that doesn't sound good
