This game is basically an alternate version of Factorio, so I'll just focus on the differences
This game is basically an alternate version of Factorio, so I'll just focus on the differences. Shapez.io is like Factorio but without the following: - Every placeable object is completely free to construct - (you have no inventory since every building is free) - Every 'ore' patch is infinite - There are no obstacles or enemies or terrain On the face of it, you might say 'well that sounds strictly easier than Factorio,' but: In this game there is no single 'assembler' building but rather multiple smaller buildings that do discrete assembly tasks, and going from raw resource to finished product can involve up to dozens of these tasks. It's like if someone 'opened up' the assembly buildings in Factorio and let you design your own. Also, there are hundreds of permutations of shapes instead of the dozens of craftable items in Factorio. You might say 'okay, we'll think of the circle shape as Iron,' but then - what is specifically the lower-left quadrant of the circle supposed to be? What if it's green? What if it's stacked on top of something else? Basically, Shapez.io removes resource management and environmental challenge completely, and adds extra complexity in assembly and item variety. In the end I think the two are equally challenging, although I would suggest Factorio for players new to the factory-sim genre.

Easy recommendation
It's Factoria, except they got rid of all the resource management needed to build things, all the combat fighting bugs, all the other nonsense, and distilled it down into it's purest form - Building endless production lines in pursuit of expansion and efficiency. Sometimes simpler is better. You will lose hours.

Hard to put down
I began playing this game on a lazy Sunday afternoon, after me and my wife had managed to put our newborn son to sleep and had some quiet time for myself. After what felt like a few hours I quit the game and rubbed my eyes, ready to make dinner. To my horror, though, I discovered that my son was 18 years old and was lugging a suitcase towards the door, getting ready to go to college. I got up, laboriously reawakening my atrophied muscles and almost tripping on my years-long beard and the IV drip my family must have put me on at some point in the past. I opened my mouth to speak to him, but he stopped me with a gesture. With tears in his eyes, but also with a composure I could not help but be proud of, he said "No, father. The shapes must flow." Then he left home without looking back. My wife, carrying her own suitcase, followed him, sparing me a look full of tears and reproach. I sat back down, stunned. I took a deep sigh and reopened the game. I haven't seen any of them ever since. It's better this way.
