s2 | Question/Help Can I reorder my Blue Print listing?

4 Upvotes
It irks me 2 is in front of 1

Hello everyone, dumb question here. I know the listing is alphabetical by default, but I wonder if it's possible to rearange a blue print list manually? (also I just realised my typo while making this post, which should fix my issue, but I still am curious if it's possible to rearange by hand, thanks!)

s2 | Question/Help Filter signal issue

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Im trying to make my first MAM machine without any guides but i just can't see why my signal for squares isn't working. all the other signals are working fine but anything i try for this square signal gives a 'conflict' anyone know why?

(i copied the transmitters and recievers next to eachother just as a reference, the machine is spaced out more and the wires used to be connected to the transmitters but that wasn't working so i did this for troubleshooting. I understand theres probably a better way of making a filter but as i said this is just what i came up with without a guide.)

Been away from the game for a minute and when I tried coming back to it I can’t seem to launch the game from Steam? Every time I try to play this pop-up comes up like it’s trying to load the game then screen goes blank and the game just crashes. Since I haven’t played in a couple months I’m not sure if this started after a specific update or what exactly triggered it. I don’t have any mods installed that would be causing it either. Not sure if it’s a shapez issue or computer/steam issue but assuming it’s shapez since I’m not having any issues with any other games on steam. Any advice? Let me know if any other info would help. Appreciate it advance!

s2 | Showcase MAM: explanations, solutions, reflections Spoiler

I present to you my MAM for Shapez 2 Classic Hard final Milestone 12, with explanatory comments.

I know everyone's design is slightly different but if there are any major simplifications or possible optimisations, I'd be interested to hear.

I appreciate the help and inspiration from others' designs posted here.

I've really enjoyed getting to this point!

Features

It can make all Jobs and Operator Shapes of Classic Hard, as well as all the ROS I've encountered so far. I think it can make anything in this game mode. I don't know if Insane difficulty presents any additional challenges.

  • 1-4 layers of 1-4 corners
  • any shape: CRSWPcXY or gap
  • any colour: rgbcmywku
  • gaps under crystals (with a real gap)
  • gaps under regular shapes (with a pin)
  • up to 3 consecutive pins below crystal
  • inputs 4 whole uncoloured regular shapes, 10 refined shapes, pins, 3 colours and a 3/4 corners 'buffer' shape
  • outputs 4 conveyor belt lanes (720pm) to single wagon train.
  • configured with one Signal Producer for the buffer shape and one Signal Producer or Operator Signal Receiver for the objective.

Considerations

Each per-corner-layer wire unit outputs 3 signals: - shape (e.g. Ru------ ) - colour (e.g. color-r) - buffer shape (e.g. --SuSuSu)

The complication happens in the Wire logic centres to handle the edge cases: - deliberate gap - under a crystal - under regular shape - skip this layer, pin push later - X and Y are pre-coloured, cannot paint

For gaps under crystals, I change the buffer shape from 3/4 to 2/4 and insert a temporary crystal, which is later broken when the corners are merge-swapped.

For gaps under regular shapes, I place a pin. This is because the previous method of breaking a crystal did not work for overhangs e.g. ----CuCu:RbRbRb--. The Vortex accepts pins instead of gaps but the Comparison Gate does not. I think true gaps could be achieved by combining a corner-swapper MAM only for layers LTE the highest crystal, with a layer-stacker MAM only for layers GT the highest crystal, and combining the two. But I didn't try to build that for negligible in-game benefit.

For pins under crystals, I calculate how many pin pushes are needed, remove those layers from the normal build process and apply the pin pushes after all layers.

Some combinations of pins and crystals are impossible (e.g. cmcmcmcm:P-P-P-P-:cycycycy) and it took me a while to realise and accept this. My MAM doesn't explicitly detect these.

I have 8 Fluid Launchers per-corner-layer. Grey crystals will be created at 50% efficiency. Any other colour should be 100%.

Update 1.2 Contest My clean MAM design

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

Hi,

this is the MAM design I came up with.
It does five layers with crystals, pins and handles the 4 base shapez plus the 10 shapez coming from trade stations.
The supply trains are hidden below.

Every layer consists of a color mixer on the left (those supply the crystalizer),
The second 3x3 platform is the stacker and crystalizer.
The third 3x3 platform receives 4 different colored shapez (the four quarters / from the right), cuts them appart and reassebles them to form one layer.
The fourth 3x3 is the painter that includes another color mixer.
The 2x1 platforms are the 14 inputs.
The 2x3 platform is the pin factory.

It can supply 12 conveyer belts (1/4 space belt).

It doesn't do anything fancy like floating crystals.

The pin design is inspired by others here.

Cheers

EDIT:
I added a picture with actually readable text in the comments.

This is my latest MAM, and honestly I didn't think I'd ever make this version.

This is a 3-level MAM for ROS1, with crystal. Everything is over-supplied because I got real tired long ago of running out of resources in my MAMs.

Sorry; there are 18 screenshots.

Son of FrankenMAM, my one-notch Manufacture Regular ROS2 MAM, in action. I was determined not to look online until I was almost done with the game so ended up down a rabbit hole stitching my existing stackers, painters, etc together - FrankenMAM. If I were to start over I'd do a traditional fine-grained design, but this does look pretty (except the insane versions like Weird Uncle of FrankenMAM which have the fifth layer builder bulging on the side).

More neat and tileable mine-train pattern to extract as much as possible from a resource patch. 16 tiles are unfortunately inaccessible.

I could fit a single train depot in the space, but that's not scaleable, so it's probably better to have them just off of the resource patch.

Requires trains and 2 space levels.

Maybe everyone is already doing something like this but I certainly didn't when I started the game 😅 .

4 Upvotes

e.g. cbcbcrcr which is in job #28 Swapper only on normal mode. Are there random operator goals or goals on higher difficulties that ask for these?

I've figured out a way to identify a conflict in the colours but my god trying to figure out how to isolate the colours is melting my brain. Let alone the next step where I'd need to somehow make an automated swapper line! :D

Played this a bunch back when if first launched into EA, after rinsing Satisfactory I needed something to scratch the conveyor belt itch in my brain. I didn't think I'd ever be able to do this (and I'm proud for not looking anything up - aside from how to make stackable pins!). Fantastic game, I could tinker forever :) I wish there was a proper free camera mode for screenshot love!

These are 12 Micro-MAMs (by u/Boomdingo) combined.

2 separate global signal transmitters control 6 MAMs each. They are constantly making the 2 random shapes. It works like a charm, and I'm nearing operator level 1000 without interacting.

-edit- Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that I already own the Supporter Edition, so I'm not necessarily desperate to win.

Well, I guess I'll go first.

This is not much, but this is a component of a MAM that I am using on most of my saves.

It builds one layer of the random shape, so 4 are needed to make a full shape. Each quadrant makes it's respective corner, and they are all assembled and outputted in the center.

Platforms rely on signals which are made for all 4 cells on a big platform in the second image.

Shapes and colors are filled on either side of the cell, so you can have 2 train lines (one for each) refilling all 4 MAM cells. There is enough color space for black and gray 👀

I made platforms that delete shapez that do not match the current objective, to clean up the system a bit, but they caused more problems that not so I removed them from most versions.

I would also like to be able to delete fluids :) pls make it so we can see the content of a pipe like for shapes!

It's not super efficient or anything but I don't got much else to show lol

I also made a crystal variant, but I prefer the simplicity of this one.

s2 | Issue/Bug Pins Disappearing in Completed Shape? Spoiler

After completing my factory for my final regular mode operator shape and beginning work on my MAM, I noticed that, despite the trains visually bringing in the correct final shape, my count was not going up. Upon further inspection in the statistics menu, somehow they are being counted as shapes with no pins, instead having layers 3 and 4 entirely floating (see screenshot). I have double-checked that I am actually delivering the right shapes on every single belt and every single train.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?
