tobspr-games/shapez.io
Shapez.io
shapez.io is an open-source automation base building game and infinite sandbox factory simulation. Players extract and process geometric shapes through conveyor belts and industrial automation to meet delivery goals within an endless map.
The project incorporates a logic circuit simulation environment, allowing for the creation of automated control systems using wiring and logic gates to optimize factory operations. It utilizes an entity-component game architecture to manage thousands of active elements across its simulation.
Gameplay covers industrial automation and resource logistics, specifically the ability to cut, rotate, merge, and paint shapes. The simulation includes tools for scaling factory layouts and infrastructure through duplication.

Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
