Thanks to the dev, Tobias, for being an absolute lad and sponsoring this video. Give it a spin! mtchm.de/pripo I'd be happy to cover this and more in the automation genre if you want to see it, as they're games I've thoroughly enjoyed in the past. As always, a great big thanks to the AA Support Group too, for giving me a little more time to think about the content and release different types of content. I'm kind of going back through the last year's catalog of everything I've made and trying to get more perspective on my own videos. Hope you enjoy!
Just want to say, for all the people who will see this vid soon. The game is 100% worth 3.99 in standalone form. Tobias is an absolute genuine human being, if you ever talk to him on the Discord you'll get that impression too. There's a new update coming soonish that massively overhauls some features and adds whole new layers of complexity. Genuine testimony from someone with close to 200 hours in this game over the past month. TlDr; Do not sleep on picking this up if it seems interesting.

^^^This - I hate to over-narrate this stuff in the video when I'm sponsored since I don't want to come off as disingenuous or selling the game, though I honestly liked this even more than I expected - and I expected I would like it a lot to begin with! It's also going up to $6 soon as I gather (with more content on the way), so even more of a reason to pick it up!

I just got this a few hours ago and played it for awhile. Boy nothing quite makes me feel dumb like this game. "You'll get the hang of it soon, Night." Uh-huh. Right now I have tunnels going under tunnels and dead-end conveyor belts and I don't even know what the hell balancers do so I'm putting them everywhere. I blocked off all route to the last few nodes on the hub and I don't know how to get access to them. I don't think my brain works like this.
@@ambiguousamphibian You are extremely welcome. I've watched almost all of your videos at this point, and you just had so many amazingly funny lines in this, I just keep watching it. "Level three, can we be stopped?"
I've been playing this for a while before this video came out and never had a decent way of making large arrays of painters. I never experienced such happiness than when i saw your super efficient design at 7:26, very nice.
You can make it even more compact then that. Swap the color and shape belts, then move the belts and splitters one tile to the left and top. Finally, replace the output splittermergers with compact mergers (once unlocked.)
i sat down playing this game first time. when i walked away many... many hours later i had finished the first progression til it made random blocks. "... did i just time travel??" *looking out at the dark night out the window.
YO! contrats for the sponsor man, and even this was a good sponsor, not raid shadow legends,This,is why you are a top tier content creator,keep up the philosophical shiposting my dude
Tip: only use tunnels they are the most useful machine when building something big, if there is a line of conveyors tunnel.(If you get stuck or you don't have a plan)
"...we are talking about this... but how about this! and this... and now as much as I shaped the shapes, the shapes shaped me..." This is the best video I ever seen, keep going dude and thanks for the content
Can't wait until you really blow up! You 100% have the potential for it and I'm sure you'll just keep climbing the ladder if you stick with it my friend . The reason I say that is - for me, not many people could make an entertaining video out of this game but turns out it doesn't matter what game you play.. I just find your commentary entertaining haha
Me: I could never be entertained by somebody playing with shapes. ambiguousamphibian: Challenge accepted. Me after watching the video: Well played sir well played.
Got this game on Steam because of this video. It reminds me of Satisfactory, in a way, which I absolutely love, just much.... simpler, yet more complex. :)
Love what you do and keep going :) Because of you playing mount and blade bannerlord I’m now playing mount and blade warband, I’ve grinded it so much it’s dumb, I own 24 places. 7 castles, 1 city, 16 villages.
Shapes.io, Factorio, Satisfactory. It's a spectrum of factory games, all available on Steam. I love them almost as much as I love phallic shaped objects. From left to right they increase in price and quality of graphics. Factorio actually just recently made it out of Early Access! They have this Spidertron mech in the game now and it's absurdly overpowered. Nobody mentions the irony of using a bug mech to genocide bugs but I love it. They still can't make a larger mining drill or a better electric furnace but hey, that's what mods are for. Satisfactory is still deep in Early Access but it's already an amazing game, I highly recommend it if you enjoy factory games. It's in 3D and the environments are breathtaking.
How to damage your eyes: 1. Install Shapez.io 2. Get your eyes damaged by that light theme 3. Switch it to dark while panicking 4. Play for at least 3 hours 5. Watch someone's video with light theme on
If you need to both cut and paint a certain element, it's better to paint it first, and then cut it. Say you need to deliver blue half-squares, if you paint the square and then cut it, you only need half the paint and painters compared to when you cut it and then paint it.
i like to use balancers to make giant funnels for infinite output to the hub: make a funnel shape where there are balancers that act as a funnel to the hub have 2 balancers on the 2 hub inputs then have 3 balancers connected perfectly to the 2 other balancers so on so forth now you have infinite room to plug into the hub
I know you are in a bit of a little break but I wanted to suggest O21-Pokemon to add to that cursed mods list. Also, tons of the QoL mods have been updated now. *EDB-Prepared Carefully* isn't updated yet but a lot of people are able to use it in 1.2, *Character Editor* is an alternative to that, you could also use that if you want to take in your supporters' character submissions in your game. I've confirmed that *Carry Capacity Fixed*, *RimHud* , *Replace Stuff* , *Share the load* , and *Pick Up and Haul* works fine in 1.2. Vanilla Expanded Mods are all up to date. Some new fun stuff like *Rimnauts* and *Altered Carbon* Jecstools hasn't updated yet but there's already an unofficial one.
In a Rimworld Video a few days ago you mentioned losing powers which in turn caused the MP4 files to be lost. You should invest in this CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1000W, 12 Outlets, AVR, Mini Tower. Its what I use on my computer. If the power goes out. Even if you are playing a game with maxed out graphics you'll get a good 19 minutes to save, backup, and power off your system before you lose power. Longer if you aren't playing graphically and CPU intensive games. No more powerless to your PC. Plus cleaner power going into it so you are less likely to have something fry from dirty power. I ended up buying a second one for the other room to put my Router and Modem on so that even if I lose power I'll have several hours of internet in a power outage. Also to run my security cameras. (Even during power outage you'll still have internet because cable lines still carry a signal). I highly recommend it. If you catch it on sale you might be able to get it for $150. Well worthwhile investment even at its base $199 price. I bought my first one after a sudden power outage during a storm took out my power supply, motherboard, and hard drive on my PC several years ago.

Yeaaah you should either definitely play Facotrio, or don't touch it because we will never hear from you again.
Your penchant for the ridiculous could be quite fun to see in these automation games.

Fantastic video as always. Hilariously well voiced!

Weird this was chosen when Factorio left early access... yesterday.
Eh, i dont know the recording schedule.
S is for "sponsorship", sadly not for "spidertron"
In other words, we want a factorio series!

Having your work reviewed and narrated in this style is the highest form of respect we’ve discovered.

Can't believe you made this looks 10x funnier than it should.
This one video got me to play three games: shapez.io, Space Chem and Mindustry.
And all three on Steam for less than half the price of a AAA game.
I've never played any of the games you've played but I love watching your videos.... except this game.

This sounds like MineDustry and factorio with extra steps. I like It.
I'm getting big Spiffing Brit vibes here.
Which is good because both of you make pretty A+ content.
Thanks!
Miss you man, you got me into Rim World. Hope all is well.
Shapes.io, Factorio, Satisfactory.

You should definitely play Factorio. It's such a good game.

*casually playing with red cubes, yellow balls*
20 y.o me now: *-Ah shit... Here we go again.*
How to damage your eyes:
1. Install Shapez.io
2. Get your eyes damaged by that light theme
3. Switch it to dark while panicking
4. Play for at least 3 hours
5. Watch someone's video with light theme on
"It's like the sneetches."
I like that.
I got that reference
You had me at a cup of everclear
and now its back to the gulog with you for another 3 days. See you soon
I've been playing Satisfactory and this is seriously scratching my itch
Try Factorio
@@nezzu2656 oh yeah I've played factorio too, great game as well
This game gives me some serious factorio vibes
This is just mindustry
And mindustry is just factorio
My heart skips a beat everytime you say smashing :)
I freakin’ LOVE Spacechem! This looks awesome and reminded me of that game too. Definitely going to check this out.
I got this game last night and time warped by and it was suddenly 5:30am, I played for 13 hours straight!!! I think I need to reevaluate my life... 🤣🤣
Oh goodness, I played this game in dark mode for so long I forgot how blinding the normal mode is lol
I like to think of this game as distilled Factorio.
0:05 Ah, I see, the Greek pantheon.
That "more content soon" at the end sounded suspiciosly a lot like Sseth's... have we found another of his alter egos!?
He does sound an awful lot like Sseth withput as many random pauses between words
Curse factory for making me not want to watch this video with all Ambiguous's conveyor inefficiencies.
Shape the world and shape your life

this is like a sseth gameplay with the hey hey people omitted i love it no offense
love the spongebob ref
Your voice combined with the music make it feel as if your recording this in a barns & noble.....
Factorio but 140p
Why play this when Factorio just hit 1.0
I guess this is easier cleaner looking factorio which gives you infinite building materials while still giving you a purpose
As much as AA likes games he also probably enjoys eating, housing and a healthy about of money. (Sponsorship)
Edit: but factorio is really really good
@@MAGAMAN It's a different style game for sure.

Why's sseth off of his meds?
you can use ctrl to select and delete multiple things at once
Make a playthrough of Factorio and satisfactory, you'd 100% love it :D
This is a weird Rimworld mod.
This reminds me that I want to play factorio
so its like Factorio, but without the alien mass genocide...
Yes. Always fun vids thank u
There's a demo on coolmath in case you're thinking about it
... this is literally factorio but without the aliens, avatar, or power machines.

A very shaping video^^
The real question is, does it have dark/night mode?
Actually, yes. Yes it does.
only if you pay for it on steam.
Everyone here needs to go play factorio lol
Looks like Factorio Version 0.001 xD
please make more of this
*FACTORIO!*
You should take a look at the Zachtronic games, infinifactory for example.
I think, Now you can call yourself Shapespear
If this got a mobile port I'd be all over it
Factorio is more satisfying and headache-inducing.
I think you accidentally (?) made the concept of "shapes" oddly erotic for a moment there...
factorio simplified.
Looking forward to more
I have no idea what I'm looking at.
Could you make an overpowered colony and take over the world in rimworld pretty please... 😶
but more importantly. Was this game everything it shaped up to be?
I’m so confused but if we’re being honest I’m just here for the voice 🤷♀️
He do got that good voice.
I'd watch more of this, great commentary.
