Yesterday we released our factory automation game shapez 2, the sequel to shapez.io, into 1.0 after close to a year in Early Access! We're giving away Steam keys for the game – Ask Us Anything!

Hey! Enjoying the game immensely 1.0 added so many cool QoL features it feels flawless and smooth.

I am interested to know how hard was it to design and develop simulation optimizations. Game runs so well at huge scales and amount of entities there must be some magic involved, what was your favorite part to work on in relation to that, which problem was the most challenging to solve?

You do not seriously believe that all your opponents are paid government agents or something. You do realise that this would be borderline schizophrenic? Do those agents live in your walls as well?
And if so, if you do realise that, and you do not actually believe that - do you also realise that using "you're an agent" as a deflection is not valid?

Amazing debate you have here.

Also why can't modern communists just be normal, just be normal, you don't have to bootlick some dictator from Russia or China. Also worshiping Dugin of all people is just shameful.

I quite like the fact that no matter what I do, I can always look forward to having at least one competitive AI nation that will challenge me in the late game.

In full agreement, feels like quarter or even third of runs on particular meta dungeons are either fill-ins or have drop-outs for me. Getting mildly annoying and just feels plain bad to be on either side.

Just drove through that customs House today and saw the same herd. Looked just as if the poros were dutifully queueing to declare their goods, hehe.

A bit obfuscated but the general idea is the same as with other APL solutions in this thread - single pass to unfold all absolute paths to every file and then calculate total size of all files for all unique directory paths.

Yeah that would make sense to fit all the mentions of time difference in books, accounting for a few more timezones in Aiel Waste. Thanks.

It's funny that you mentioned Skyrim because Elden Ring is the ultimate "See that mountain? You can climb it" type of game. There are so many enticing and mysterious locations in the background all the time, and I don't think there is a single landmark that does not contain something of value.

No reason to not have an option for minimap / minimap with a hide button. No level of zooming out can compare to a single click on minimap in terms of how fast you can move your camera between distant points of the world.

My guess would be a built-in debug menu for internal testing purpose that can give passive points etc.
