I like how they immediately require a prime number after you unlock multiplication to drill in addition is still important.

@@ARockRaider Which is why I feel weird, that shapez is free and this is 6,99€. This game clearly copied a lot from shapez, which is fine, game devs copy all the time, but it's still weird. It's even more funny, because they released another game in 2022, which is also the same game, but hexagons instead of squares and sell that for 4,99€ as well.

@alexuschan1 4 месяца назад

you need to read more of the details, the extractor upgrade you researched hinted at the fact it can output 2 full belts when it was upgraded, which when combined with the belt speed upgrade hints at the extractors can end up being super powerful.

@milanstevic8424 4 месяца назад

And you basically want to maximize output to at least one full belt (which is at max belt speed / sec), not only you're gathering numbers faster, but also many locations become reusable, so when smaller numbers become obsolete, you can redirect them for more complex production. It's a neat game, I just wish there was more hindrance/power/cost/friction of some sort.

@NXE212 4 месяца назад

The other day I watched a video about "integer complexity" in which a guy in the video talk about how many 1s would it need to create a number with addition, multiplication, then later on subtraction and division, the concept would be really useful for this game as you could have a general sense in how to figure out an optimal set up for making a certain number with the least amount of required input.

@leonszegedy 4 месяца назад

You would be amazing at mobile game ads with how unsatisfying your design for 16 was by 18:37, all the strain on one 3 generator, while the conveyors for adding 12s and 4s doesn’t even connect to one bridger, yes this was only written because it was absolutely frustrating and I would’ve played the game because of it if I could, 10/10 great advertisement for the game. I’m sure you’ll get past level pink!

There is nothing minimalist about Potatograd's OP-144 factory. It's such a large factory that the test flights are done inside its massive walls and high ceiling.

@nurstin9411 3 месяца назад

I recommend reading up on the tooltips that show up whenever you unlock something new. If you simply drag one belt across another, the game automatically places a bridge for you. And with the extractor upgrades you can pull multiple belts from each source.

@Paul-vi3on 4 месяца назад

16 is a power of 2, meaning you can get a *much* simpler design (=easy copy+paste) with just doubling up 2s (like in a pyramid-shape). Using 3s isn't any faster, you just made your design way more complicated than it needs to be.

@fredtwo8347 4 месяца назад

But that does require 2 more belts of extraction input (8 vs 6)

@makiro1 3 месяца назад

@Simon_wasntavailablebutthiswas 4 месяца назад

You should have taken the main converter-belt and used it as a random input. Meaning all numbers should in theory be obtainable through putting in a number close to that range plus the converter belt. This would mean that until you get multipliers which will do the higher numbers you don't do anything.

@ottodeluxe 4 месяца назад

Hm, I like factory games, and I can also enjoy abstract and niche games, but somehow this misses the mark for me. Most factory games have you solve multiple puzzles, or on multiple "layers" (building designs, overall architecture, throughput on a micro level, and balancing progress and improving your infrastructure), but this one seems kind of one dimensional to me. It makes it accessible in a weird way, but for me it's kind of missing the "game" mark, and feels more like an educational experience.

@milanstevic8424 4 месяца назад

I get what you mean, but you'd be surprised, it scales pretty cleverly. Algebra sneaks up from behind! The game gets very interesting as it progresses, in my experience, and the gameplay shown in this video resembles something similar to Factorio spaghetti, i.e. it's not really representative of true play. For example as soon as you master the belt throughput optimization, you progress onto modular design and reusable circuitry. In the mid-game the designs get very streamlined, but you juggle between the factories in a vast play area. Suddenly you want to redirect that 36 factory because you can clone a place that can do x12 and a place that will subtract 5 for your current goal of 427. Yes it's abstract, but in a sense you build your own commodities and factory chains with this game and every solution is different.

almost two years ago, the same developers already made such a "shapezio with numbers" game *_Beltex,_* but added the twist of a hexagonal playing field, and that one is even a little cheaper than this one. is this game worth it to buy yet another variant with a normal grid and probably less features than shapezio?
