Chilled factory-builder shapez 2 gets a massive upgrade

shapez 2 was already good and now the huge Dimension Update is out now, it looks like it’s going to suck away plenty more hours of your time. Truly a wonderful factory building sim, that really has a clear focus on just letting you chill with it without the hassle of any kind of enemies. Just build the coolest looking shape-cutting thing you can.

The newly launched Dimension Update has some big new features like:

• 3D Platform Building: Build platforms, space belts, space pipes & rails on multiple layers just as you do with buildings.
• Trains Rework: Quick & Wait stops, transfer stations, multiple packages, new colors and more.
• Variable Launchers: Belt launchers, fluid launchers and wire transmitters now have variable range.
• New Layouts: Re-added old T, Cross and L-platform layouts, and added even more!
• Space Belts got a 400% throughput increase.
• Allow searching for shapes on the map.
• Added overflow splitter.
• Dynamic Global Wire Transmitters: Global Wire transmitters now have two inputs/outputs, one for the channel ID, one for the actual signal. This gives you basically infinite channels and replaces the old color-based system.
• Operator Shape Receiver: To be able to receive the operator shape definition, there is now a new Operator Shape Receiver building.
