## About shapez 2 - Factory

shapez 2 - Factory is an upcoming automation-focused factory-builder from tobspr Games, set to release in 2026 at $23.99 USD. Building on its predecessor, this strategy and simulation title introduces hexagonal geometry alongside logic-circuit-building mechanics and nested-factory-design systems where players construct factories that operate within themselves. Multi-tiered-unlocking progression guides players through increasingly sophisticated automation challenges at their own pace. Players describe the experience as chill, contemplative, and relaxing, with reviewers highlighting the satisfaction of building compact machines and the appeal of designing self-running production systems. Blueprint-sharing enables the community to exchange solutions to open-ended automation puzzles. The game supports short-burst sessions with a medium-length campaign and runs in a playable state on Steam Deck. It currently holds a 98% positive rating from 8187 Steam reviews.
