I read about Shapez going 3D a few years back, and it initially sounded silly and pointless, but tried the new demo, and now I'm very excited for it to release in early access.

Gameplay-wise it's pure distilled optimization puzzles, and the 3D graphics give it an abstract surreal vibe that I find very comforting.

This reminded me of myself age 8-9 when I would get stressed if I didn't "undo" any rotations of my body, or rounds around a table. Quite to the annoyance of my teachers and parents. Did anyone else have a phase similar to this?

Originally got the sub 8 hour achievement during a 2-player game in Early Access, back when you had to collect alien orbs to get science. It was before cliffs, and logistics bots were easier to get, so I was curious if it would be much easier or much harder.

And not least I wanted to get the achievement "properly legitimately", i.e. single player release version.

All in all it was easier than I feared! With proper settings I didn't even encounter the biters even though they were present, and the run was doable by just winging it with little pre-planning and no restarts.

Yeah yeah it's a phone photo. I originally took it to brag on snapchat. :)

For those unfamiliar, DoshDoshington's Factorio videos tend to be anywhere from 50 to 500 hours tightly edited into 1-ish hour.

Oh, and Happy New Year, everyone!
