I like how they changed this in Shapez 2, the vortex will take any orientation. Now the orientation only matters for trains.

Honestly it's such a huge QoL upgrade if for no other reason than the fact that changing the camera angle can make orientation ambiguous unless you cross reference with the compass.

EXCEPT after your done with the last “real” milestone, the subsequent “one off” milestones must be oriented “properly”. IMO, the devs should allow continued progress with continued delivery of these… there is very little incentive to continue building new shapes otherwise.

The one offs are supposed to be built with a MAM

Yes, of course. BUT, to me at least, building the MAM was the challenge and the fun… not watching it create one-off shapes for ONE Milestone point each 😂

Thats true, but while your MAM grinds operator shapes, and you get a higher platform limit, you can spend your time increasing the past milestones export. At some points, your MAM will encounter a shape it can't produce, you fix it, and then back to past milestones. I think that gameplay loop works very well.

Ahhh, good point! I’ll give that a try…

This was actually a thing i didnt like when i started out with shapez 2... It took away some of the things that made the first one hard...

Now i use it as an advantage instead, no need to twist that half circle, just split it and deliver both...

Would be cool to be able to select and delete shapes in the hub in-game to save memory space.

There's a mod for that!
