Top 1% Factory Building in Shapez.io 

For those who missed the first episode, be sure to check out Shapez.io here: bit.ly/shapez-ar It's getting some large content updates in the near future, so I don't know how long it'll be $4 for.

Game: * has a problem in it * Tyler: *TUNNELS IT IS THEN*

I love when you play this game, please make it a regular.

“I need something that just gets the job done, it doesn’t need to be perfect” literally the opposite mentality you should have when playing Factorio

This game, when you get down to it, can get really fun. Factories you make can look like circuit boards.

I literally playing shapez.io as this video comes out. I just want to say I am so glad you got sponsored by the developer. This game is so fun and relaxing. (I’m building a peppermint-colored circle right now)

Just a tip, you can look at the number of items each building processes per second, and can use those ratios to your advantage and make full belts and modular designs that produce those full belts

“All i need is tunnels, i think the beatles made a song abt that” If they did i cant find it

"I've been Attempting to create this for the last five minutes" *At least he's being honest*

You know you've been playing this game correctly when you have 5 million blueprint pieces

"This is a good white dye factory!" *coughs* /r/shapezio *coughs*

“You thought tunnels were insane? Wait ‘till you see tier 2.” “This isn’t even my final form.”

I as a mediocre factorio was rather disappointed when he made his “main highway” thinking to my self just make a main bus man

You're gonna love this next update Tyler. In the alpha, Tier 2 Tunnels...are now 1 longer

Tyler: *uploads * My sleep: *Bing Bong I'm already gone*

“Shapez.io, factorio without steroids”

aliensrock, a.k.a. “The Mole” It’s cuz he tunnels...

5:38 Is... Is this actual editing in my aliensrock video!?!?

I started when I saw the first video and I am on level 19 with almost all tier 7 upgrades. :P

Be Aliensrock -Go to Madison University the gem of Wisconsin -Make a video on the Top 1% factory buildings -Make an extremely inefficient build -Make it multiple times -Be Proud.

3:00 “Where we distribute the shurikens” The shurikens : *Ding dong you’re so very wrong*

Interesting to see your chaotic approach to factory building, compared to the tileable/expandable units approach that a lot of other people seem to take.

You playing Factorio would be an absolute treat now.

This game is great. Thanks for playing it so I could discover the literal perfect game for me.

"I regret this design" he said, without even having a design haha

Concept for this game: pipelines. They move items 4x faster than conveyers, but require a 2x1 Pipeline Pump at both ends to connect to conveyers. This would be great for moving items at higher capacity more compactly, but because of the space constraints it wouldn’t replace conveyers within factories.

Bridge game? Portals. Train game? Wormholes. Shape game? Tunnels. Hotel? Trivago.

I don't know if you have realised but you can figure out how many extractors you need per belt is by checking their output per second (this also applies to any chain) . If a belt speed is 12 items per second, and an extractor is 2 items per second, 1 belt can support 6 extractors. Hopefully this helps when making new production lines

it’s so painful to watch him build the factories with all of those tunnels. still so much fun to watch tho please make this a regular.

Can’t wait for the _semi-demi-hemi-half red circle with 8 shuriken rainbow layers,_ real excited.

Nice editing job 👍

if that's the background music of the game i must say that's a really good soundtrack and i respect it.

For that last shape: if you painted whole circles before cutting them up, that would save you half of your white dye going in there.

I remember tge supermassive monstrosity I made to create the red and white circles. I think it was around that time I started tearing down old factories. I know the game tells you not to, but you thankfully don't need miilions of the more basic shapes, you'll only need a couple hundred thousand of the most complex shapes too.

If you like this game (and it isn't all just a thing for the sponsorship) you should check out mindustry, it's another factory type game mixed with tower defense. If you want to try it it's free on mobile for some reason

Tyler: starts building Also Tyler: *furious head bobbing*

Honestly, the last shape before free mode took me 4 hours to make the factory for it. It wasn't just functional, it has style. Then again I had no readily available easy shapes to take from. Had to split like 3 different shapes into 4 pieces to get the right amount of everything without lacking anything and not making a massive mess. It was quite the journey, but I'm glad I finished it. Then I had to wait for free mode.

Aliensrock, you can turn the game into dark mode in the settings, so your eyes dont hurt, love the content

Man, I can watch this all-day. Love it. Keeps my inner compulsive neurosis in check.

I like how I started playing this after the first episode and I already have an overly advanced factory at level 15 and have played for over 750 minutes.

This is like 2-D terratech without the combat. I absolutely love it.

_When you have 14 Poly Bridge jokes ready but he decides to play __Shapez.io_

This reminds me of a game called Factory Idle I used to play on Kongregate in the good old days of flash games. I normally buy simple indie games like this, but this seems like a super entertaining game!

RU-vid: this includes a paid promotion Me: Hell yeah Tyler good for you go get that dough

It's basically Factorio but more chill, without any of the danger, survival elements, inventory and storage management etc.

I really hope you continue this series

I saw your first video on this game 2 days ago and within the last two days i've played about 1000 minutes of it.

These videos are amazing. Really glad they sponsored you because it’s a really cool game!

Finally I was waiting for this I love this series

this is the most satisfying game i have ever laid eyes upon

You should play space chem, apparently one of the hardest puzzle games out there. Design puzzle, like factories or electronic circuits. Very logical puzzle solving

Shape bridge game time

There's a same game named mindustry but its a survival game, the main objective is to survive as long as possible or destroy the enemy core, and you can play multiplayer

Definitely want more of this, such a fun game to watch you play and I went ahead and bought it as well

Honestly, I don't even know what's going on half the time and this is still somehow entertaining as hell

Tyler, I got this game after watching your first vid on this. It’s a fun game, and I don’t regret buying it at all!

Youngster Joe: "My factory is a top 1% factory."

So, here I am again. Bought the game. Played it almost 5 hours on the first day. Addictive as F and super fun!

I’m not sure how far you got in your stream but as I couldn’t watch it That checkered circle you made with the green shrunken it’s has another layer to it and making that was so much a headache maybe for the fact of all the things were not near each other and I had to find a way to make it all work PRAIS THE TUNNEL GODS

Tyler i would say you keep doing your own thing but if I were to give you any advice it would be that I saw a bottle neck when you first made the super high way where you put two inputs onto one belt and the split them. This would have no change in throughput as the 2 inputs got put onto a singular belts worth of through put and so unless more material was added in later the maximum amount of material on either belt would be that of the weakest link and in this case that singular belt was the weakest link and your throughput would be as much as could move across that belt. The only case where bottle necks are okay is if you have a system which doesn't use the full throughput of a belt like say the painters. The painters do not have the throughput of a belt and so the methods you were using are perfectly fine. Also you can never go overboard with extractors having like 4 of them and then them backing up is perfectly fine so long as you are okay with the amount of shapes you are getting out in the end so say you have enough painters to make a fully compressed belt of shapes that you want and that's exactly what you wanted then you can say that it doesn't matter that the shapes input and color input are backed up. -sincerely A concerned Factorio veteran ps: if you want to be the most efficient you can try and figure out the throughput ratios like lets say the painter paints 1 object every 2 seconds that's a ratio of .5/s and then your extractor extracts 4 object every 2 second that's a ratio of 2/s you can compare these ratios using some easy maths: 2/s=x*.5/s and so x must be equal to 2/.5 or 4 and so you can say that you need 4 painters per extractor in this fictitious scenario. Doing this you probably always want to start from the end saying how many items/s do you want as your output and then mathing out how many of each stage you would need to get said output an always in these sorts of systems if you get fractional answers round up and make sure you keep your non fractional answer into the next stage as if you dont you can run into problems where you assume it stays the same however you can/will be short some resources meaning your output wont be completely compressed.

If Tyler enjoys this game then he should play Factorio I think he would like it.

you should make more of this, its oddly satisfying to watch

Tyler is now creating Autobahn highway system

If you enjoy this game, I'd recommend Factorio and Mindustry. Factorio is basically just this but better, and Mindustry is basically this except tower defence. Also factorio got it's 1.0 release recently so that too

I think Factorio Knowledge would give you quite an edge in this game. Especially when it comes to belt balancing, as there are numerous belt balancer designs for Factorio which should be applicable to Shapez.io 1:1.

i love optimizing this game but sadly i dont think theres much more for me to do with it, i wanna do another playthrough of it but im pretty sure ill end up making the same old setups because holy shiiiit they were so good, lemme tell ya. I made massive, absolutely massive Sections that would accept 32 inputs (or 64 for some) and then spit out 32 outputs, then i would just daisy chain them together and make whatever i needed with little effort and it was glorious i loved it

Aliensrocks master plan to play train games has led him to become a master factory builder

Hahah I remember when I thought 3 lanes was big. Over 2000 minutes and 1 million blueprint shapes in, and I’ve been using 8 lanes quite often now. I also made an 8-input/8 output multifunctional balancer.

I was thinking of "All you need is love" as you said "I think the Beatles made a song about that" and I'm scared.

Please play this game more often, it's so good

I literally posted “you should make more of these videos” on the first episode 30 minutes ago, therefor this video being uploaded is attributed to me. I get all the credit. All my doing

you should try mindustry, which is very similar game to this. tho it has more complicated graphics and enemy units that try to kill you but i havent got bored to it in over 1 year of playing it (it is avaible for free on itch.io)

Play factorio, the best factory game, its also not in early access and extreamly hard to crash.

Just as a heads up, once you get to Tier 6 on upgrades, you can purge everything

This game was a gateway drug to factorio for me

This game seems like someone saw mindustry and decided to turn the conveyer belt shenanigans into a whole game.

Neato. We are no more than shapes floating woards a shape, floating around shapes, floating through more shapes, floating around a shape, floating around through more shapes. Actually true.

You should keep playing this game I’m loving it so far

This is so satisfying to watch, hopefully you can make more in the future

5:45 Yes we do require more *HIGHWAY*

Double layered tunnels for 2 paths in one is my favorite thing to build in this game

I went from lvl 1 to 14 in just a few hours. I find that overflow type factories are prettier and more compact and just as efficient.

I absolutely love this game, I bought it myself as well and played the f*ck out of it. In 1 week I already got 11 hours in, such an awsome game!

Downloaded this game after your first video and had a ton of fun. Can't wait for the next update.

I'd love to see you play modded Minecraft. Something like SkyFactory. It is even more complex, with energy generation, and eventually EMC. Because why harvest resources when you can just generate them from thin air.

You should try out Mindustry, It's a tower defense game kinda like this, a couple of dollars on steam, free on itch.io. (steam version only helps with automatic port forwarding for multiplayer.)

This playthrough is super relaxed compared to what I thought it would be. Where's the optimization for efficiency, both in design and footprint, and constant evolution of those designs? Maybe we'll see it soon, as the game gets fairly demanding once you start nearing level 20; which also comes with a lot of reworking your old designs, don't be surprised if the map needs wiped for better efficiency.

Dude u just hit the top of the iceberg because the level with the logo shape is the hardest

Good if this is top 1% because i've passed this part since i've spent 5 hours playing

You should check out this game called Mindustry, it’s kinda like this game and blooms tower defense combined.

after your first video of this i conpleted the whole game (up until freeplay unlocked) in like 30 hrs lmao After a few shapes I soon began making the most effecient conveyor belts, and every new one i made for a specific shape looked like a massive computer circuit.

Tyler: "it's pretty compact" me: _confused anger_ /j

“Unless we do more tunnels” “Everything needs tunnels” “I love tunnels” *Tunnels are slowly becoming the springs of **shapez.io*

I've actually finished the game, sometimes your layouts make my eyes bleed 🙃 but the game itself is so relaxing anyways

I'm not that good with any sort of mind game but I still enjoy shapez.io, thanks for showing us the game

I was wondering when we'd see this again.

Damn bro best editing I’ve ever seen on your channel I like it

“We can can now copy and paste.” _This is where the fun begins._

God you would be AMAZING at road management in Cities Skylines. Please play that btw.

Ah yeah big brain times with shapes and colors (dang shapes and colors sounds like shapes and beats)
