shapez is an open-source, minimalist base-building game inspired by Factorio, where players automate the extraction, cutting, rotating, merging, and painting of shapes on an infinitely expanding map. This repository contains the source code for the original shapez (shapez 1), built on a custom JavaScript game engine, with development having moved to the commercial shapez 2 and a community edition.

Use cases

• play an open source factory building game like factorio
• find a free base building automation game
• study the source code of a javascript game engine
• create mods for shapez
• contribute to an open source game project
• play a browser-based factory automation game

When to choose

• you want to play or study an open-source Factorio-like factory automation game
• you want to build mods for shapez using its documented modding system
• you want to learn how a 2D browser game engine is implemented in JavaScript

When to avoid

• you want active upstream development - the repo is no longer maintained; use shapez-community-edition or buy shapez 2
• you need a general-purpose game engine or framework for your own projects - the engine is custom and game-specific
• you want modern TypeScript codebases - this project is largely ES5 JavaScript
