Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Are my Early Access saves compatible with 1.0?
No. Pre-1.0 savegames and blueprints are not compatible with the full release due to major engine and mechanic changes. However, an “0.1.1-old” branch is available on Steam to access older creations.
2. Can I build “Make-Anything-Machines” (MAMs)?
Yes. The advanced wiring system and signal support are fully integrated, allowing veterans to build automated machines capable of producing any shape requested by the hub.
3. Are there any enemies or combat?
No. shapez 2 is a pure factory-building sandbox. There are no enemies, no resource costs for buildings, and no time limits, letting you build at your own pace.
