Savegame & Blueprint Compatibility Disclaimer

Unfortunately, pre-1.0 savegames are not compatible. However, there is an 0.1.1-old branch available on Steam that you can switch to, if you for example want to check out some of your old creations, create blueprints, or simply are not ready to do the switch yet.

Blueprints are compatible, but blueprints created pre-1.0 will show a warning in the blueprint library. We encourage you to recreate them (i.e. by placing them down, then saving them again), as we will drop support for pre-1.0 blueprints in future updates.

Which mode to start with?

Before diving into the changes, I wanted to give a quick guidance on which mode to play when you dive into 1.0. The release renames the current experience into Classic Mode and introduces a new Manufacture Mode.

Certification: If you’ve not played shapez 2 before, we recommend playing the Certification scenario first. It is a ~1h long scenario that teaches you all the necessary basics and allows you to then seamlessly transition into the Classic scenario.

Classic Mode: If you’ve already played shapez 2 during early access, but it’s been a while, we recommend you to start with the Classic - Regular scenario first until you feel comfortable with the game again and you’ve built up an initial collection of space platform blueprints. The Classic scenario is the original shapez 2 experience and offers a unique blend of factory building, logistics and shape puzzles.

Manufacture Mode: Once you’ve got the hang of Classic Mode, we recommend trying the new Manufacture Mode. The mode introduces new mechanics and focuses on permanent, large-scale factories, similar to other factory games, with the goal of re-launching your Vortex Platform.

What to expect from the 1.0 release?

The 1.0 release is the biggest update for shapez 2 so far, and we’re super proud of it!

This isn’t just a “game is finished” release. With this update, we’re introducing a huge amount of new content and improvements on top, for new and existing players. Even if you’ve already played shapez 2 during early access, we’re very confident there’s something new for you, making it worth checking out the game again.

As always, we’ve spent a lot of time polishing the game already, and with lots of beta testers having tested the release extensively, we expect basically no bugs and good performance.

We really hope you enjoy it!
