shapez 2 is an absurdly great and accessible factory-building game out now

Time to cut some shapes, and I don't mean on the dance floor. Factory-building sim shapez 2 is out now in Early Access with Linux support.

Thank you for the amazing Early Access launch!

Thank you!


The launch has been amazing and the initial reception of the game is far beyond our expectations (over 600 99% positive reviews!!)



This wouldn't have been possible without YOU, our community. Shapez 2 has so much feedback integrated during the two years and it's so amazing developing this game together! Thank you for participating in the surveys, giving constant feedback and playtesting the early builds – especially the Patrons, Mods and Community Helpers!) It's something we want to keep doing and we are super excited to push the game even further during early access - this is just the beginning.

That being said, I don't want to distract you - the factory must grow!

[h2]What's next?[/h2]
We are going through all the feedback right now (we try to read every post!), which will probably take a few days as new feedback is constantly added.

In the meantime, we are already working on 0.0.8 which fixes a few issues and also adds some improvements, like automatic space belt tunnel placement and rail launcher placement. We also are finetuning the space belt visuals to better show on which layer the shapes are, but this might not make it into this update.

In about a week we will then run a survey to collect even more feedback, and then in around 2-3 weeks we should be able to put together a first 'roadmap'! Our goal is that the first major update will be really worth picking up the game again (in case you ever stopped)! Based on your ideas we will put together 3 different options for what this major update could be and let you vote!


Again, thank you for being here with us.

Shapez 2 is Factorio with no limitations, and you can play it now

Factory games come in all shapes and sizes, with Factorio giving you a birds-eye view of your machinery and others like Satisfactory letting you roam up close with your creations. Then there's Shapez 2 which just launched into early access, and it's literally all about different shapes and sizes.

2024 is the best year we've ever had for factory games




Factory friends and fellow automation lovers, this is going to be—already is—a hell of a year for the factory-building genre. I know this because not only are we going to get Satisfactory 1.0, we're getting the giant game-doubling expansion that is Factorio: Space Age. I know this because the herald of this golden year of factories has arrived today in the form of early access for Shapez 2. In the bare decade that factory-building has evolved from half-baked ideas and fringe Minecraft mods to full-fledged sims we've seen some great games, but the future is looking ever-brighter...
