I am new to these types of games, what are the goals/missions in such video games?
I can speak for myself on shapez 2 at least...
you receive a request for a certain amount of a determined shape, like a circle.
then you must build conveyor belts to make circles go from point A to point B
but shapes get more and more complex and you have to use different machines like cutters, rotators, stackers, painters, and even logic gates later in the game.
It involves planning, logistics and a little of programming.
is really involving and I can't help but spend hours on the game every day.
at the point of the game I am, I have almost all logic machines there is, so I can build simple programs and algorithms.
I want to see what kind of stuff I can make. is a little like a sandbox game in some sense. you can escape from the objetives and not be penalized for it
@abunickabhi this is the trailer of the video:
here you can see wires and gates in action on shapez 2:
since space age i've been playing some factorio again. the problem is I like to prematurely optimize (the root of all evil) so playing takes many hours.
somehow none of the other games capture the look and feel of factorio.
I'm yet to play factorio, I noticed there is a downloadable demo, I'll try it soon. I don't like the graphics tho : P
