# shapez
|
||||
|
||||
## What is this game?
|
||||
|
||||
shapez is an automation game about cutting, rotating, stacking, and painting shapes, that you extract from randomly
|
||||
generated patches on an infinite canvas, and sending them to the hub to complete levels. The "tutorial", where you
|
||||
unlock a new building or game mechanic (almost) each level, lasts until level 26, where you unlock freeplay with
|
||||
infinitely more levels, that require a new, randomly generated shape. Alongside the levels, you can unlock upgrades,
|
||||
that make your buildings work faster.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where is the options page?
|
||||
|
||||
The [player options page for this game](../player-options) contains all the options you need to configure
|
||||
and export a config file.
|
||||
There are also some advanced "datapackage settings" that can be changed by following
|
||||
[this guide](/tutorial/shapez/datapackage_settings/en).
|
||||
|
||||
## What does randomization do to this game?
|
||||
|
||||
Buildings and gameplay mechanics, that you normally unlock by completing a level, and upgrade improvements are put
|
||||
into the item pool of the multiworld. Also, if enabled, the requirements for completing a level or buying an upgrade are
|
||||
randomized.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is the goal of shapez in Archipelago?
|
||||
|
||||
As the game has no actual goal where the game ends, there are (currently) 4 different goals you can choose from in the
|
||||
player options:
|
||||
1. Vanilla: Complete level 26 (the end of the tutorial).
|
||||
2. MAM: Complete a player-specified level after level 26. It's recommended to build a Make-Anything-Machine (MAM).
|
||||
3. Even Fasterer: Upgrade everything to a player-specified tier after tier 8.
|
||||
4. Efficiency III: Deliver 256 blueprint shapes per second to the hub.
|
||||
|
||||
## Which items can be in another player's world?
|
||||
|
||||
- Unlock different buildings
|
||||
- Unlock blueprints
|
||||
- Big upgrade improvements (adds 1 to the multiplier)
|
||||
- Small upgrade improvements (adds .1 to the multiplier)
|
||||
- Other unusual upgrade improvements (optional)
|
||||
- Different shapes bundles
|
||||
- Inventory draining traps
|
||||
- Different traps afflicting random buildings and game mechanics
|
||||
|
||||
## What is considered a location check?
|
||||
|
||||
- Levels (minimum 1-25, up to 499 depending on player options, with additional checks for levels 1 and 20)
|
||||
- Upgrades (minimum tiers II-VIII (2-8), up to D (500) depending on player options)
|
||||
- Delivering certain shapes at least once to the hub ("shapesanity", up to 1000 from a 75800 names pool)
|
||||
- Achievements (up to 45)
|
||||
|
||||
## When the player receives an item, what happens?
|
||||
|
||||
A pop-up will show, which item(s) were received, with additional information on some of them.
|
||||
|
||||
## What do the names of all these shapesanity locations mean?
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a cheat sheet:

|
||||
|
||||
## Can I use other mods alongside the AP client?
|
||||
|
||||
At the moment, compatibility with other mods is not supported, but not forbidden. Gameplay altering mods will most
|
||||
likely crash the game or disable loading the afflicted mods, while QoL mods might work without problems. Try at your own
|
||||
risk.
