A New Era for shapez 2
At 1.0 launch, shapez 2 introduces a range of major additions, including the highly anticipated ‘Manufacture Mode’, which lets players build large-scale, permanent factories using early layouts, resource chains, and Trade Stations: new areas players can now utilize to convert their shape types by fulfilling specific recipes.

Modding Tools and Steam Workshop Support
At 1.0 release, shapez 2 will also introduce full Steam Workshop support, giving players access to extensive modding tools, as well as 70+ Achievements. From small quality-of-life tweaks to total game overhauls powered by community ideas and ingenuity, players will have the option to remix key systems of the game, or expand the boundaries of what’s possible within the core gameplay.
