I tried playing 'shapez.io' which makes a factory by running a belt conveyor on a web browser for free



Steam has released a game ' shapez.io ' that mines 'shapes' in a world of simple design with a system like ' Factorio ', a simulation game that automates work while mining resources. You can play the demo version of shapez.io from your browser for free. I actually played what kind of game it was.

shapez.io --Build automated factories to build, combine and color shapes!
https://shapez.io/

The following is the top page of shapez.io. Click Play to start the game.



This is the game screen of shapez.io. The simple operation method is displayed in the upper left, the save button and setting button are displayed in the upper right, the tutorial is displayed in the lower left, the tools that can be used are displayed in the lower left, and the 'shape' to be delivered to the HUB in the center is displayed. It seems that it is necessary to deliver 30 'yen' this time.



Follow the tutorial to deliver the 'Circle' to the HUB, click on the extractor from the tools at the bottom of the screen, and click on the 'Circle' on the map to install the extractor.



Next, click on the conveyor belt from the tool to select it, and then drag between the extractor and the HUB to connect. This will deliver the 'circle' to the HUB, but there are many other 'circles' on the map ...



We have added an extractor and a belt conveyor so that we can deliver more and more 'yen'.



Level 01 is cleared when 30 'yen' are delivered. A cutting machine is now available as a reward. Click Next Level to continue the game.



Now we need to deliver 40 'semicircles'. I decided to use the cutting machine that was available earlier to make a 'semicircle'. However, on the rightmost factory line, the conveyor belt connected to the cutting machine was clogged.



Therefore, I decided to install a trash can according to the instructions in the tutorial.



The clogging of the cutting machine was successfully cleared and the delivery of 'half circle' started.



Delivered 40 semicircles and cleared level 02. Click Next Level to continue the game.



It seems that you can upgrade the tool using the 'shape' you produced, so click 'Show Upgrade' to confirm the upgrade.



It seems that belts, distributors, and tunnels can be upgraded, so click 'Upgrade' ...



It has been upgraded to Stage II to improve the performance of the tool. If you deliver the 'shape' required for the upgrade to HUB, you can upgrade the tool more and more.



As you progress through the game, you will be able to use coloring machines that can color the 'shape'. There is also a color vision characteristic mode, so even people with color vision characteristics can enjoy playing.



When processing 'shapes' with tools, it takes different time for each tool. Processing with a coloring machine takes longer than extracting the 'shape' with an extractor, so the 'shape' may be congested in front of the coloring machine as shown in the image below.



Therefore, the 'maru' and the red dyeing material carried from the extractor were branched into two to eliminate traffic congestion and enable efficient delivery. You can check the work from the video below.

The content of the play of shapez.io is to produce 'shape' and put it in the HUB, but it was a game where thinking about more efficient production method and devising the arrangement method of the belt conveyor increased one after another. .. It is also recommended as a time-killing game because it can be easily played on a browser.

The full version of shapez.io is available on Steam. Not only will the full version add tools and upgrades, but unlike the demo version, where you can only save one, the save data retention restrictions will be lifted.



There are many other free games that can be played on the browser on the site of Tobias Springer , the creator of shapez.io.
