Reworked Markers

Markers now are way cooler! First of all, the HUB Marker now shows a compass once your hub is no longer visible:

But even better: You can now include short keys in the markers which will render as a shape!

Explanation: Short keys are a way of describing how a shape looks. For example, the shapes above are called "CgScScCg" and "RpRpRpRp:CwCwCwCw" - If you are interested in more details, check out the Shapez.io Viewer which is a tool to generate and view the shapes! If you enter a short key as a marker name, it will automatically render it everywhere - Isn't that cool!?

Mirrored Painter

So, many people were asking about mirroring buildings, and the main problem here was the painter - Which is why I added a mirrored variant! I feel like this should be enough and there is no further need for mirroring then - Let me know what you think! (It is unlocked the whole time)

Tunnel Placement

When placing tunnels, the game is now much smarter about that! An image says more than a thousand words, so lemme show it off:

They will automatically remove unused belts inbetween now and you can now drag them properly! PS: 1.1.13 was a minor update which only updated translations, which is why I didn't post about that :)

shapez.io is a game about building factories to automate the creation and combination of shapes. Deliver the requested, increasingly complex shapes to progress within the game and unlock upgrades to speed up your factory.

Since the demand raises you will have to scale up your factory to fit the needs - Don't forget about resources though, you will have to expand in the infinite map!

Since shapes can get boring soon you need to mix colors and paint your shapes with it - Combine red, green and blue color resources to produce different colors and paint shapes with it to satisfy the demand.

This game features 18 levels (Which should keep you busy for hours already!) but I'm constantly adding new content - There is a lot planned!
