like shapez 1 it leans into massive scaling your factory, it's similar to factorio-style games, but the only cost is to paste blueprint (if you have selected it in the difficulty settings.) so you can build massive factories that look more like a cpu the further you go. compared to the first one there's also a platform cost so you have some limit to how much you can expand so you're still incentivised to build relatively compact, but it's nothing really limiting unless you are doing custom settings. it is a full game for the (currently) sub 20 bucks price, it is definitely worth getting if you like factory games, especially those on the more chill side. you can definitely do the bare minimum to get some output and leave the game running if you want to play like an idle, but the intended way is to make modules that you can paste together to make a lot of what you need quickly. if you want to try if you like this style of game , you can try shapez.io which is the demo for the first one, or just buy the original on steam for (currently) 2 bucks.
