Cant wait for the differential calculus update

It's a fun Shapez-lite game. The flow of this game is a lot more streamlined than Shapez but also a lot shorter with less depth.

- Incredible quality of life right from the beginning.
--- No mergers/splitters. Belts can merge and split naturally.
--- No pesky little upgrades to make you over-micromanage. Merging/splitting speed is the same as belt speed; extractor speed upgrades are always relative to belt speed, so an integer amount of belts can be drawn from an extractor.
--- Copy/Paste is a baseline feature. No need for blueprints.
- Infinite ways to arrive at a number. I have never used the dividers and rarely the subtractors and that's totally fine. Someone else may use them and find them fun.
- Customizable degree of automation. I have settled on a square root approximation method so I devise a new way to reach each new number. That's what's fun for me. But someone else can build a digit-by-digit machine to build to any number without much restructuring and recalibrating. I believe it was anticipated, because there are no natural 10s to extract so you have to work harder to build it.
- Numbers are abundant. At no point I was exhausting a number so much that I had to struggle. In most cases, any numbers can be made from 3 or less nodes (optimally 3–5), if you upgrade regularly.

- It is meant to be a short game. There is not a lot of depth. After 20 hours, I think I've got all I can from it.
- The game is endless? I think? There are at least 50 levels, but the achievements stop at 30. It is great pacing, as the game feels repetitive right around that mark.
- The divider. IMO the divider is not helpful because there isn't enough guidance or motivation to use it. Past the point when it is unlocked, small numbers (<10) are obsolete. The belt of remainders will just clutter up. Why would you want to break down big numbers far away from the hub, only to get small numbers that you could get closer to the hub anyway?
- The game has so much unrealized potential! Because you can so easily get to any number after a while, the speed of restructuring to produce a number can be a game changer. If there are optional secondary objectives that are time-sensitive (like being able to move a node if you can produce enough 29s in the next 2 minutes), it makes the game so much more interesting and still not punishing for people looking for a laid-back experience.

- The novelty fades quickly. After I made my first numbers >10k, I settled with a method and I felt like I could make anything. Nothing was challenging anymore.
- You have to use multiple operators for a single operation on a belt of numbers. If you want to add a belt of 3 to a belt of 4, you'll need 6–10 adders, so you'll need to have that adder cluster on your clipboard. To their credit, it is quite easy to do. But this micromanagement is rather annoying considering the game ditched a lot of other micromanaging elements. It would help if I can designate Ctrl-4 to an adder cluster, Ctrl-5 to a subtractor cluster, etc.

All things considered, this is a really fun little game. It's a refreshing change of pace from games that truly never ends, or have exhausting and far-reaching goals in form of achievements. If you like automation games, you'll like this (for at least 10 hours anyway).

Fun game that both requires thinking and optimizing. Great for all nerds
