'''Buildings''' are objects that can be placed on the world grid by the player and have unique effects on items and signals supplied to them. While most buildings can be created and destroyed in any quantity at will, there is only one [[Hub]], and it cannot be moved, built, or destroyed. The [[Belt]] and [[Extractor]] are immediately available when you start the game. The other buildings and building types can be unlocked by completing different [[levels]]. These buildings can also be improved by purchasing [[upgrades]] with different shapes.

	The wires layer unlocks at level 20, and is an overlay to the regular layer for logic circuits.		The wires layer unlocks at level 20, and is an overlay to the regular layer for logic circuits. Wires layer buildings can be placed in the same tiles as most regular layer buildings, with the exception of any building that has an additional wire connection, such as belt readers or filters.

There are multiple types of buildings in shapez. There is only one [[Hub]], and it cannot be moved, built, or destroyed. The [[Belt]] and [[Extractor]] are immediately available when you start the game. The other buildings and building types can be unlocked by completing different [[levels]]. These buildings can also be improved by purchasing [[upgrades]] with different shapes.
