"Shapez" that look like some automated circuitry building thingy
I've previously played Shapez on Steam. I enjoyed it.
If I had to liken it to anything, it would be a more mellow Factorio. Basically, you've got a central hub that requests a certain shape be delivered to it. Surrounding the hub are 'deposits' of shapes - starting with just regular squares, circles, and triangles, but with mutations the further you get out (so you might find a deposit of half-squares/half-circles), as well as some additional pieces that aren't represented by the starting deposits.
You've also got upgrades (things like conveyor speed, shape mining speed, etc.), all of which require certain shapes in your hub.
Making things more difficult is that, in addition to just the shapes, there are also color deposits: Red, Green, and Blue, which can be combined to make a total of seven colors (White, Teal, Purple, and Yellow).
The number of items required for each level and upgrade steadily increase, so there's pressure to come up with solutions that are stackable and mass-producible. Sure, your single miner / cutter / painter / stacker combo could make 1,000 of the desired shapes in an hour, but it's much more efficient if you put together dozens of them and complete the level in minutes, instead.
All resources are infinite, so it's all about managing efficiency. In later levels, you're going to have to look into dismantling some of your early stuff, just because you'll have all kinds of junk shapes that you no longer need clogging your (limited) number of lines that go into the hub, causing jams and slowdowns.
