Made my MAM... but...

[Frigidman]

So yesterday I put together a MAM... and it works up to four layers, any piece of shape per layer, and of the 8 colors per piece. Fully adjusts based on the source signal, and outputs that shape at 16/s.

However........ there is nothing in it that can account for "layer shenanigans" like what I had to hack-job do for the Logo shape, or the Super Rocket shape......... cause each of those were so specific in how to fix the problem, I cannot begin to fathom the monstrous myriad of logic signals, wires, splitters, stackers, etc I would need to make it figure out every combination of craziness to combat "stacking collapse" :(

So, my question then I guess is ....... does the 'random shape generator' ever create a shape that suffers from stacking collapse in certain configs?

So far the random shapes made (for me), have all been good solid shapes stacked on shapes... no holes.

No, it will not. It will have maximum one missing piece per layer (or even one missing piece per shape). Things like the rocket do not appear randomly

Oh thank goodness lol.

I built my MAM so far away, it takes minutes for it to clean the line sending the new shape through ... doh. Time to rebuild!!!!

I've just got a MAM going for the first time, and latency is also the main issue for me right now. It's not just distance from the hub, but also varying path lengths of different ingredients inside the machine.

Yeah, that too. I compacted my stacker/painter arrays as tight as I could, with filter trashcans to 'purge the line' when things change.... but it STILL ends up with some cruft that has to work itself through.

Its like I have the MAM done, I can just sit back and let it go.... but nooooooo I wanna fiddle and make it tighter and better and quicker and!! AAA. This game is too fun.

Did you get the MAM achievment?

Which level did you have to achieve to get the achievment?

It's too bad the developper has abandoned this forum. I think he hijacked everybody to this discord.

Shapez is a super game and I like it very much. But it is a pity that this forum is almost dead. We can count the participating people with the fingers of one hand.

I think if you sell as a game maker on Steam you should also have the dignity to pay some attention and listen to what your dear customers have to say in the Steam forum. That would also pull back other players to the Shapez Steam Forum which is even more important.

Any level past 26 that autocompletes without you having to tweak anything.
