Wonder how the performance will be, though, simulating actual circuitry isn't easy to optimize, I'm surprised he went full Turing complete.

[@lubba64]

@@logicalfundy since the computer is virtualized within a game, it will most likely be somewhat worse than pure command line pcs, also because of the fact that its really hard to be space efficient in a tile based 2d system

I don't understand why the quad painter needs wires. It should simply paint based on which paint inputs are being fed.

[@Blacksoul444]

yes i agree. I like that they added wire. But having the quad painter requiring it is a bit nonsensical.

[@SeedlingNL]

That would only work if all inputs are at max belt capacity, otherwise you start to see improperly painted shapes.

[@akiraic]

​@@SeedlingNL and? then it should wait for the content to be inputed, thus causing a bottleneck. Defining proper input is your responsibility

[@akiraic]

I don't mind it being compatible with wires, but it should not require them

[@Crazymic187]

My Jaw literally dropped @ 2:07. This is amazing. I can't wait to use this feature. This game is so dang addicting it's ridiculous. The learning curve to figure out level 19 was pretty steep, but I'm excited for the real challenges ahead. Thanks for such a great game.

[@Notester82]

I know this video's public, but I feel like I've been initiated into the Shapez post-Level 20 cult after the game linked me to this videooo ;u;

[@niccolom]

I am not trained to do programming, and this update is overwhelming.

[@Vidar33]

This is simple compared to Factorio's wire system.

[@niccolom]

@@Vidar33 That only means I can't play that game.

[@Vidar33]

@@niccolom You can play that game. The wiring system is completely optional in factorio.

[@akiraic]

your comment is contradictory

[@codesymphony]

I'm a programmer and I don't touch the wire system in factorio

[@FunkyKong]

This really doesn't adequately explain what's going on. The most important thing missed in this video is that the painter paints the quadrants in a clockwise fashion from left-to-right, starting with the top-right corner of the shape. It also doesn't explain the core value of wires, instead just directing users to use buttons. You should be explaining that you can use sensors to trigger different states on the quad painter. As you can see in the comments on this video multiple people are confused as to why wires are required for the quad painter at all.

[@shapezio861]

This looks amazing I cant wait to have fun with this!

[@mystery5252]

The way you explained it made it very clear on how to use this mechanic. Thanks

[@bryku]

What is the point of this? Why not just have it paint the corresponding corner automatically?

[@jbthekeeper2509]

By the way it seems the quad painter is not delivering 7 painted items out, is this a bug or not?

[@lorionblutkind4564]

Thanks for the update and the nice game. I love it.

[@MG-oc9py]

Thank you for the tutorial, but please move the camera view less.

[@FunkyKong]

... and maybe take a minute to write a script

[@rayjarvike]

love it! great work!

[@grimler116]

Why can't the buttons just be on the painter for enabled/disabled input? I know you can achieve the same result with tunnels and just putting the buttons down in the gap, but that seems needlessly complicated.

[@agentnull5242]

It's because you can now control/fully automate factories.

[@walksanator]

Hoq do you open that gui

[@pinecone8575]

this is pretty pog

[@JamesLaenNeal]

Ooo. I want the Sandbox Options window! How do we enable that?

[@pocarski]

it says to use F6 to toggle, so that might work

[@MrGNonline]

What's the difference between the green wire and the blue wire?

[@wyldcat9396]

As far as I can tell nothing, literally just for running wires parallel otherwise they would connect

[@ninjiinc.8883]

i see "sandbox options" in the bottom left, what is that

[@rayjarvike]

probably something for the devs to test stuff

[@lifewithjefferson2711]

Mod now

[@nicholaswilliams6475]

That's awesome!

[@therotatorcell8552]

what does the color of wires mean ?

[@g.s.495]

The wires of different colors don't get overlaped, I guess.

[@TaoDragon_]

Yo I just completed level 20 in the background and when I came back and clicked the wire button this video kind of jump scared me lol

[@Vidmich]

is there really nothing new after level 100? just the same random patterns with increasing demand?

[@tobsprGames]

I'll probably introduce a bit more of a challenge by requiring floating layers :P but that can quickly get too hard. Also, "really nothing new" after > 20 hours of gameplay is a luxory problem :p

[@Vidmich]

@@tobsprGames I was expecting something like 5th+ layer or maybe more types shapes which could be found far from hub or something. Or maybe some pattern coloring like zebra or gradient etc. I think it is not that hard to add this and will give more stuff to figure out later in game. Also the issue with level 26 was because of unstable cutter/stacker where empty parts might collapse into lower layers. Imo my generator rather pointless now cause if random request from hub will have empty places it probably will break because of this unstableness. Any plans to remove this collapsing and preserve empty layers during cutting/stacking?

[@timeingram2890]

@@tobsprGames Dude make "too hard" content for players that enjoy that kind of thing. Just put it at the end of the game. Similarly I think tedium was introduced too early into the experience via crazy shapes. I'd remove a few of those things and add the wires content sooner. Great game.

You should write a script of what you are gonna talk about in a video before making one. Makes it less chaotic and it'll improve your video quality drastically.

[@slimyx3601]

Do you know the Shapez Industries mod? You can tell me how to solve level 20? (In Shapez Industries mod)

[@ThymeHog]

for level 20: For discussion, let's think of a clock - Upper Right (2 o'clock area), Bottom Right (4), Bottom Left (7), and Top Left (10). Also, you're going to want to gather some random shape that will be thrown away (I used spikes). Align the spikes to the 2:00 area. Connect that to the 10:00 white circle. Then separately connect the spikes to the gray square in 7:00 area. Combine these 2 new shapes, you'll end up with 2 layers. Cut this in half, the right side goes to trash, the left side goes to next step. Create the remaining side and combine into final piece. Hope that helps

@Dogdayboy Please Upload this Video NEW and be Concentrated at what you are doing. Switching often between different Stuff that is not used is not very helpful. Show it us slow but focused. Plan what you want to show us before Recording a Video instead rushing it Up to KZbin. And dont do any Cuts. A Video with lots of Cuts as you made it, is even harder to understand. Thanks. PS: I Can help You Upload this Video in Germany language if neccessary. Here is how to do it better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6bTnGOqlKumeZI
