Hello everyone!
We're really excited to announce that the 1.1 update for shapez 2 is releasing on June 25th, along with the first skin DLC!
This update brings a new scenario: Manufacture Hard Mode! As you might expect from the name, this scenario is a more challenging take on Manufacture Mode. Converters have new layouts and the goals are more complex. They require more production steps and introduce challenging mechanics like pins and crystals earlier on.
Manufacture Hard Mode does feature a few more consistent patterns for its shapes, potentially allowing you to reuse parts of your factories more than in the regular mode. While the shapes may be more complex, you'll be able to use what you've already built in more places!
Aside from Manufacture Hard More, update 1.1 includes a bunch of small bug fixes, as well as some some neat quality of life improvements. We'll share the full list on the day of the update!
We wanted to spice up your factories with the Hyper Skin DLC releasing next week, giving your Vortex and trains – which includes both locomotives and wagons – a sleek, hyper-futuristic visual overhaul.
The skin DLC is a small, affordable addition to pick up at only $3.99 / €3.99 / £3.49. Individual skins can be toggled on and off in-game, so you'll be able to mix and match them to your liking.
You can already take a look at the Hyper Skin DLC and wishlist it here:
We hope you're excited for both Update 1.1 and the Hyper Skin DLC. We'll be back next week on June 25th when both of them are live. See you then!
