My MOST ANTICPATED Factory Builder of 2024!! - ShapeHero Factory - Automation Management Roguelike

[@simdimdim]

pretty sure the most anticipated factory builder of 2024 starts with Factorio and ends with Space Age xD

[@austinbrown6923]

In the year of Space age, Satisfactory 1.0 and Techtonica 1.0 and Foundry EA release I find this title questionable at best

[@austinbrown6923]

Ohhhh and Shapez2

[@Paul-vi3on]

You can safely ignore the titles, basically every of his videos is "most anticipated…"

[@simdimdim]

@@Paul-vi3on Personally, I love learning about all the interesting-looking-games-I've-never-before--heard-about-in-my-life on this channel. But on the other hand I believe as a content creator one should try to avoid stepping on landmines with their title of choice :) (unless it was intentionally confrontational (something I do not believe it was))

[@orbitalpotato]

DLC doesn’t count ;)

[@clemguitarechal]

Hey, I'm pretty sad for you for the archer misunderstanding. I think the pattern is actually a footman + a half circle. The links between items in the tech tree does not represent the crafting recipe itself. But I don't have the game myself, so I'm not entirely sure about that, that's just how I read it.

[@ShMokou]

Isn't archer just a semicircle + basic hero?

[@setsunias2257]

Yes

[@etherkye2]

yea, you need to scroll to see it

[@Mr2Joshua]

yeah but he looked at the blueprint for the Master Flying Unicorn Archer Unit, well it is misleading but the archers are not that great anyway in my opinion

[@siekensou77]

​@Mr2Joshua Snipers are strong but it is wise to have something for defense. Im currently trying a challenge with the second master

[@HelgeHolm]

This is so cool! As a huge fan of the genre (and 4000 hours of Factorio), I am just really excited for every new game that comes out and does something new and interesting

[@SIZModig]

This looks like a cool mix of different genres, I'll try the demo, thanks!

[@PauperJ]

The most anticipated Factory build of all time was Comrade-Dictator Potato's OP-144 factory in Potatograd. Thank you for letting us work 22 hours/day in your factory, Comrade. Long live the republic. Please bring back the Workers & Resources series, Comrade. Thank you. 10-year subscriber.

T! the keypress you are looking for (sooo often) is T

[@dragneeladhoo6023]

i thought it was new, turns out i already played this!

[@amateurpwn4182]

Oh sweet. I really enjoyed Shapez but it felt like they could have done more with the idea. I really like the addition of the fighters and the time constraints.

[@orbitalpotato]

I totally agree!

[@gwok20]

15:55 Dude shield heroes require 3 shapes! 15:14 Dude you can do an archer, if you have just scroll the hero tree you would have seen it only requires a villager and an half disc!

[@judemoore1248]

Love your vids OP!

[@orbitalpotato]

Glad you like them! Thanks

[@BadgerBishop]

The "dividers" are only better if the distance to travel is greater than 6. Also, can you feed directly into or output from the dividers?

[@siekensou77]

Input comes from the source nodes either ink or shape. The output is the final portal. That said, there are teleporters you can get off the random tech trees. You can make infinite loops with that.

[@lordthor5951]

Value wise you are right with the divider, I tend to do it no matter what because it generally save space and the less you have to reshuffle at later point the better.

heads up, typo in title "antipcated"

[@orbitalpotato]

Fixed, thanks!

[@tieskoster5773]

there is still a typo, now it says "anticpated"

[@clemguitarechal]

@@tieskoster5773 True :D

[@DavidAndrews-eb7gm]

Maybe the game designers really, really don’t like cpated or pcated.

[@Gigusx]

Why are so few heroes participating in the battle, is it because they're such a low share of all units on your side (roughly 5/400, or i.e. 1 for every 80 units)? If so I wonder if it'd make sense to reduce the production of some of the more basic units and focus more on the heroes so they make up more of your army during the wave.

[@siekensou77]

There's a cooldown shown below the gauge on the left. It reduces everytime a new one enters the final portal

[@Gigusx]

@@siekensou77 Ahh, for whatever reason I thought the "levels" of units you produce before the wave also serve as the bank of units that will get used up during the fight and can run out (e.g. you have 5 heroes that will spawn throughout the fight), and that the gauge only shows the production rate outside of the fight. I guess you can still prioritize heroes over other units to make their production rate higher in fights, but I definitely misunderstood the mechanic :D

[@siekensou77]

@Gigusx Yea, just a production rate. Which means you can wipe your blueprint partway in to change your strategy and the units you sent in before wipe will still be produced in the fight

[@nullcypher]

I have a rule when it comes to games in this genre. If it has a pause and a fast forward button then I ignore them. I've tried many games in this genre and I never enjoy those that require you to manage time.

[@siekensou77]

@@nullcypher if that's such a big problem, you can build while paused. You just won't generate new mana while paused

[@flipsidekustomz]

sssssoooo, its just a budget shapez 2 knock off lol

[@Daoxis]

That's what I was thinking. I like the art style but gameplay wise...looks just like shapez. At least early on.
