shapez 2 was already good and now the huge Dimension Update is out now, it looks like it's going to suck away plenty more hours of your time. Truly a wonderful factory building sim, that really has a clear focus on just letting you chill with it without the hassle of any kind of enemies. Just build the coolest looking shape-cutting thing you can.
The newly launched Dimension Update has some big new features like:
- 3D Platform Building: Build platforms, space belts, space pipes & rails on multiple layers just as you do with buildings.
- Trains Rework: Quick & Wait stops, transfer stations, multiple packages, new colors and more.
- Variable Launchers: Belt launchers, fluid launchers and wire transmitters now have variable range.
- New Layouts: Re-added old T, Cross and L-platform layouts, and added even more!
- Space Belts got a 400% throughput increase.
- Allow searching for shapes on the map.
- Added overflow splitter.
- Dynamic Global Wire Transmitters: Global Wire transmitters now have two inputs/outputs, one for the channel ID, one for the actual signal. This gives you basically infinite channels and replaces the old color-based system.
- Operator Shape Receiver: To be able to receive the operator shape definition, there is now a new Operator Shape Receiver building.

the shapez series is about the only "city builder" (do you call it that?) that I have ever been able to get into. I think because it lacks fighting / uncontrollable aggression, and is just "go at your own pace and build cool stuff" which is exactly my style. Love shapez2 and eagerly awaiting full release!

It's a factory automation sim, not a city builder ;)
I agree though, it's also the main one I like because it's so chill
