tobspr Games has released the biggest update yet for its acclaimed factory automation title, shapez 2. Called Dimension, the update is now available for free on Steam and brings major changes to how players build and optimize their factories. It introduces multi-level 3D platforms, a fully redesigned train system, smarter logistics tools, and interface improvements that promise to boost efficiency and creativity.

With over 480,000 copies sold since entering Early Access in 2024, the game has become a fan favorite among factory simulation enthusiasts on Steam, boasting a remarkable 98% “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating from more than 10,000 players. To celebrate the update, the game is currently 30% off on Valve’s platform, with the standard edition priced at £13.99 / €16.79 / $17.49 and the ‘Supporter’ edition available for £19.59 / €23.44 / $24.49.

One of the standout features of the update is the ability to build on multiple vertical layers, allowing conveyors, rails, and pipes to be arranged across separate levels for better design freedom and space management. The train system has also been significantly overhauled, with updated visuals, smarter stations, configurable unloaders, instant transfer points, and new train colors.

Other major improvements include Space Belts, now with four times the throughput, and the new Overflow Splitters, which automatically direct item flow to a preferred output and send excess elsewhere. A new Shape Search tool also makes it easy to locate any shape across the game’s infinite map.

Classic platform layouts in T, L, and Cross shapes return with all-new variants, further expanding design possibilities. The user interface has been revamped with operator previews, clearer shop categories, wire insights, and more accurate throughput indicators.

In addition to all these highlights, the update brings dozens of smaller improvements, bug fixes, and overall performance enhancements, all crafted to refine the experience for those who spend hours designing, automating, and perfecting intricate virtual factories.
