What to study

Where the belt keeper shows throughput, this one shows transformation: the card explains the machine in plain language (it destroys the West Half of any shape) and even jokes about the waste, which teaches the mechanic while the ghost shows the placement. Pairing the two placement screens shows how shapez 2 separates moving shapes from changing shapes, with a different card for each job. Frame at about 0:37 in the 1.0 Gameplay Trailer [EN] (Steam).
