Shapez 2 is a game tailor-made for enthusiasts who crave the thrill of optimizing production lines and perfecting automation. Construct sprawling multi-level factories and min-max your layouts without limits.

At the meantime, we’re working hard on updates for the Statistics Panel, Blueprint UI and Game Goals. If you missed our previous update preview, you can check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1366540/view/4487367832217059599

Winter is coming, and so is our update. This time we're not only bringing some bugfixes. Statistics Panel and Blueprint UI will receive some optimizations, and a new Hints System will be introduced. Broadcast Voices has its own settings now.

Here is the preview of the new contents:
Statistics Panel will have some more practical changes. In this update, more information will show for each item. Now you can view the Import/Export Rate of an item on a planet or in a star system.

The Search Box allows searching item by name. And Storage Amount is the total amount of an item on a planet or in a star system.
In the Power tab, a radial chart is added. This chart will easily demonstrate the supply and consumption ratio and power status. And the power generation, consumption, charging status will be shown for all the facilities.
Just started the game, don't know what to do? Always get lost and have no goals? Collecting stones and trees around and forget your next-step?
Now the new Game Goals will aid you and help you get acquainted with the game.
Or you might be just returning from a long break, needing some hints for your goals? To help you with this, when loading a save file, you can select the Level of Game Goals you may want.
Blueprint UI will have some optimizations. Now in Blueprint Mode, the planet surface, water, foundations, and the models of facilities, belts and sorters will be displayed in a different color and style.
Now the rectangle area of selection will have a border effect.
Now when using a Blueprint, click on the facility icon will change its hologram color.
When bulk pasting, a hint will be displayed for +/- distance.
When failing to paste a Blueprint, detailed information will be displayed for locating the error. The pasting area will have a better visual for finding out the erroring facility.
When failing to copy a Blueprint, hold Ctrl to hide buildable facilities, only display the red facilities. And hold Shift will hide the unbuildable facilities.
Early this year, we added the VO for our broadcasts. Since then, we've been receiving requests for having the old AI VO back. So, we made a decision to let the players choose by their preference.
Now you can change the Broadcast Voice Timbre for each broadcast, or turn some of them off.
You can't hear an image, but...

Hi engineers,

Hope the weather is getting cooler out there (for the Northern Hemisphere). It's been over 40℃ (104℉) this week here. But don't worry, we are doing okay.

Here is the update for some issues addressed recently:

Version0.10.30.23430

[Feature]

• Added [Bloom Effect] in the video settings. You can now toggle or adjust the bloom effect in the scene (if black spots or screen glare occur, you can choose to reduce or turn off the effect).

[Change]

• Added a restriction on the difference in tilt angles at both ends of the sorter. When building the sorter vertically, sorters with sufficient length at both ends will no longer prompt "Distance Too Close."

[Bugfix]

• Fixed a bug where the recipe for replicator would display correctly but could not actually be crafted in certain cases.
  
• Fixed a bug where mining machines could not detect minerals that were too high or too low in elevation.
  
• Fixed a bug where in certain situation, after building all the holograms and leaving the planet, an error might occur when the battlefield analysis base powered on next time.
  
• Fixed a bug where some buildings would show a foundation requirement when pasting blueprints onto the Maroonfrost surface.
  
• Fixed a bug where sorters sometimes would not rotate according to the tilt of the conveyor belt during manual construction.
  
• Fixed a bug where sorters would not rotate according to the conveyor belt tilt when pasting blueprints.
  
• Fixed a bug with incorrect collision detection for tilted sorters.
  
• Fixed a bug where sorters could be constructed underground.

Hello, Engineers. Hope you had a great weekend.
The update last Thursday has caused some issues. We've urgently fixed the bugs in this patch.


[Change]

• Optimized the performance of inserting cargos to Conveyor Belt line, ensuring that the first node in a closed-loop conveyor line will not stop when cargo is inserted.
  
• When a blueprint contains only Conveyor Belts, Sorters, Traffic Monitors, and Spray Coaters, it is now possible to raise or lower all buildings in the blueprint in the same way as elevating Conveyor Belts.

[Bugfix]

• Fixed the bug where the mineral reserves displayed for Advanced Mining Machines on remote planets in the control panel showed as zero.
  
• Fixed the bug where minerals accumulated on remote planets could be taken from the control panel.
  
• Fixed the bug where some UI text displayed incorrectly in the control panel.
  
• Fixed the bug where the Battlefield Analysis Base could not be built or rebuilt on its previously planned building holograms.
  
• Fixed the bug where inputting cargo into a closed-loop conveyor belt with the pile sorter could lead to data anomalies.
  
• Fixed the issue where, when the mecha construction drone was turned off and a large number of blueprints were pasted, errors might appear when entering a new planet and planning buildings.
  
• Fixed the bug where sorter collisions might behave abnormally when pasting blueprints.
  
• Fixed the bug where turrets would rotate according to the incline of the conveyor belt when built on it.
  
• Fixed the bug where half-level elevated conveyor belts might attempt to avoid horizontal belts by raising or lowering when encountering them.
  
• Fixed the bug where conveyor belts would also automatically raise or lower by half a unit when passing through buildings like spray coaters.
  
• Fixed the bug where the end of a line would not check for excessive twisting when planning connections to conveyor belts.
  
• Fixed the bug where mining machines might cause an out-of-bounds array error in multithreaded mode.
  
• Fixed the bug where conveyor belts with different positions and input-output will be merged into one section after blueprint copy-pasting.
  
• Fixed the bug where excessively long blueprint file paths in the blueprint library caused incorrect UI display.

Long time no see, engineers!

It's been a while since the last update. We've received lots of feedbacks from you on the "Transport Update". So we've been working hard during the dog days, and now the update is ready for shipment.

Now a new transport Control Panel(I) is added. All types of transport across the cluster can be managed through here. You can also locate desired Stations or Distributors by clicking the locate button.

Added route display for paired Stations or Distributors. You can now have a clear view of the route and the items transported.

There is some complaints about the pairing system since the last update. So we decided to optimize it further. Now with "Designated Pairing", you can create isolated route(s) without being interfered by other Stations.

And more...
Now you can "dive" the belts.

[Feature]

• Added a control panel (I) where engineers can view current information and settings for all logistics facilities in the entire cluster, aiding in better factory management.
  
• Added the "Interstellar Logistics" tab to view the current status of Interstellar Logistics Stations and Orbital Collectors.
  
• Added the "Intraplanetary Logistics" tab to view the current status of Planetary Logistics Stations, Interstellar Logistics Stations, and Advanced Mining Machines.
  
• Added the "Logistics Distributor" tab to view the current status of Logistics Distributors.
  
• Added a setting to automatically pause the game when switching to the background.
  
• Added a upgrade [Conveyor Belt Slope Limit], it can be unlocked after researching [Super Magnetic Field Generator]. If unlocked, building a Conveyor Belt will not be limited by its slope.

[Change]

• Optimized the construction system to reduce lag when a large number of building holograms on the planet have all been constructed or deleted.
  
• In blueprint paste mode, copying a Satellite Substation now shows the blueprint hologram directly as an unpowered state.
  
• Players not in warp or flight mode will no longer be attacked by the Phase Laser Towers of the Dark Fog Hive.
  
• Added a designated pairing setting in the Interstellar Logistics Station behavior settings. When set, other logistics stations will not actively execute normal pairing tasks with this logistics station.

[Bugfix]

• Fixed the bug where small wreckages would shake or sink on the ice surface.
  
• Fixed the bug where after a Guardian blocking skill, there was a chance of appearing at the planet's core.
  
• Fixed several bugs related to conveyor belt operations in blueprint mode.
  
• Fixed the bug where some target indicator lines would occasionally flicker frequently.
  
• Fixed the bug where cargo flow speed would be abnormal if the node at the head of a closed Conveyor Belt loop or a particularly short node in the line had a different speed from the previous section.
  
• Fixed the bug where inputting cargo into a closed loop might cause the line to stop.
  
• Fixed the bug where the flow rate might not reach the maximum when merging high-speed conveyor belts.
  
• Fixed the bug where a mysterious black hologram sometimes appeared in the conveyor belt construction preview when right-clicking to delete buildings in a blueprint.
  
• Fixed the bug where building holograms might display abnormally when dragging and pasting blueprints.
  
• Fixed the bug where erroneous connection might occur if blueprint coverage objects were constructed or dismantled during the forced construction process of pasting blueprints.
  
• Fixed the bug where holding Shift and moving with arrow keys in blueprint mode would move in the wrong direction.
  
• Fixed the bug where too many Chinese characters in the blueprint introduction would cause the blueprint to become invalid.
  
• Fixed the bug where too many types of buildings in a blueprint would crowd the blueprint code display space. Now, the content of the blueprint introduction can be fully displayed, and it will be presented in a scroll list.
  
• Fixed the bug where changing the case of letters while renaming a blueprint would cause an error.
  
• Fixed the bug where selecting a corrupted save file would prevent it from being overwritten.
  
• Fixed the bug where clicking the reconstruct switch on a Battlefield Analysis Base without power would mark ruins as holograms.
  
• Fixed the bug where, even without power, the Battlefield Analysis Base would mark ruins as holograms when placed.
  
• Fixed the bug where, when two Spray Coaters extracted proliferators from the same Conveyor Belt section, dismantling this section and building a new one elsewhere might cause one Spray Coater to extract proliferators from the newly constructed Conveyor Belt.
  
• Fixed the issue where planning routes between short-distance buildings like Spray Coaters and Traffic Monitors would be incorrect.
  
• Fixed the bug where the pie chart continued to update after disabling CPU real-time monitoring in the statistics panel.
  
• Fixed the bug where the foundation could not lift more than 1024 minerals.
  
• Fixed the bug where some building UIs could not be modified using the recipe paste shortcut when opened.
  
• Fixed the issue where actions like entering/exiting construction mode would affect Icarus' movement status.
  
• Fixed the issue where the collision range of unbuilt sorter holograms would be abnormal and difficult to select upon reloading a save.
  
• Fixed the bug where UI elements overlapped when planet names were too long in the Esc menu.
  
• Fixed the bug where too many buildings in the range during demolition could cause errors.
