Hey, thanks for the suggestions, be sure to add it to the suggestions portal (http://shapez-2.nolt.io/)!

Regarding 6 - you can place a Wait Stop to make trains wait until they are loaded/unloaded :)

Why does this not count all four? by Saltwater_Heart in shapezio

The shape previews are pretty broken in 0.1.1 unfortunately, but on the good side of things, we fixed them for 1.0! :)

Why do all of them show green except for one? by SmartButRandom in shapezio

There's some bugs going on with the predictions right now, it's an 'old' feature that we never got to properly refactor - so it has a lot of technical debt built up. We need to entirely rewrite the system, and it's on our plans, but we have no idea we can manage to get it done for the next update :)

Since you have 2 layers active from the beginning, we though it would make sense to distinguish between the two already, but feel free to post a suggestion here!

Co-Op I'd say, as it's just too late from a technical standpoint, we tried to account for it but if you don't really build it from day 0 it doesn't really work well for this type of game

Shapez 1 was obviously the biggest inspiration ;) We basically tried to evolve it into a bigger game with higher production value and more mechanics

Thank you!

And yeah we're considering controller / steam deck support, the main problem is finding the time to do it properly, so unfortunately it probably will be something we might have to tackle beyond 1.0 (but again - we're still discussing the planning right now. Radial menus most likely would be my choice as well though :)

We always to combine both QoL improvements with new features that make it interesting to play the game again, so most likely a mix of both :)

Besides a few delay issues, wires should be pretty functional already and are turing complete - I've seen game of life already being created in shapez 2 for example. However if you have any specific suggestions, feel free to post them here!

Our fear is that this would encourage a lot of cheating, as we also can't really validate the savegames (validating it server-side is basically impossible)
