Is pic related better than Rimworld?
>>738123958Songs of Syx > Dorf Fort > Clankfolk > Rimworld
>>738123958It's more about overall colony management than editing individual loadouts than rimworld and has vertical levels, water simulation & framework fo building mechanismsThese mechanics, however, are quite shallow and difficulty of the game was created by asinine control layout
>>738124165Songs of Syx is a city builder, though
>>738123958Here's two words for you: Z Axis
>>738123958yesrimworld is at best a coom simulator with coom mods
>>738123958its a cool idea that has the same problems since if irst played it 15 years ago
>>738125949What problems?
>>738123958They are both simillar on the surface, but too different in feel to compare. Personaly I preffer DF.
>>738123958Rimworld is just more fun. If people actually liked Dwarf Fort they'd be playing it, they're all playing rimworld instead.>>738125841youre sick and need help dude
>>738126328>Fortnite is just more fun. If people actually liked Rimworld they'd be playing it, they're all playing Fortnite instead.Don't ever make the mistake of conflating popularity with quality. To do so is to suggest that street shitting is the superior option to shitting in a toilet because more people shit in the street.
steam version proved all the legendary depth of this game was just shit controls>you don't have to care about light>you don't have to care about temperature>until recently you could just seal yourself in your fortress and play on god mode
>>738124165A man of culture.
>>738123958depends what you like. rimworld is more immediate, more game-y, you feel more involved and have more control. dorf is a much larger scale, more automated, more management focussed. it's not as direct unless you really choose to get into military and engineering. and you'll have to read through logs more to even discover a "story" or what happened in a fight, whereas Rim is more visual.i prefer rimword personally. i get too pissed off managing every aspect down to the last mushroom spawn. in rim you can just create any crop from nothing, there's not as much to keep track off.
>>738127002>>until recently you could just seal yourself in your fortress and play on god modethey finally changed this? this was my biggest complaint about the gamepeople acted like "ohhh bro its thje hardest game ever" when its impossible to lose if you just make a single wooden bridge and lever
>>738128904enemies dig and siege now
>>738128971damn i gotta try it out again
>>738123958dwarf fortress has a mystical reputation due to the interface being a major filter, meaning the only way 90% of people even knew about the game was through creative writing exercises attributing a story to things that weren't even being simulated at all. rimworld is the sims: tower defense edition
>>738123958I hate how you can't even do simple actions like clean up one single trash the dwarfs have to be in the mood to do it or it's just gonna sit there forever
>>738123958I've started about 5 Dorf Fort worlds and played a few months on each (normie version). I still can't get into the flow of just knowing how to play the game, what to do if I want to achieve a certain goal that isn't just mine out rock. It feels like I'm learning the game every minute I'm playing.It's awesome, but I wish I could just master it and have a confidently-kept dwarf empire at some point. Or at least just know enough to know that the bullshit on my screen was the game doing it's thing, not me not understanding how to play the game.
>>738126167probably that the game is still entirely singlethreadedBut I checked out ages ago so that may have changed, not that I expect it to have.Wasnt there something about gay dwarves and asexual livestock now?
>>738124165But I want to be microing the minute detail of individual dudes and keep it <50 pop scale, not hundreds of random motherfuckers.
>>738123958RimWorld is better both visually and mechanically.The veil was taken off when Dwarf Fortress released on Steam, before that it helped the game being text-only. Less people played it but it had a certain mysticism and aura that just dissipated.I'm glad the DF devs got rich tho, they've earned it (one brother a bit more than the other).
>>738129858>probably that the game is still entirely singlethreadedThat changed some 3 years ago>Wasnt there something about gay dwarves and asexual livestock now?>now?try 14 years ago
Combat in Rimworld sucks because it basically forces you to cheese the AI and create killboxes.
>>738129819Enjoy the journey. I find that the moment I master a game, it's the point my interest wanes and eventually drop it.
>>738124165Incredibly based taste
Rimworld is easier to get into and better designed. But dwarf fortress is deeper as a game. I got tired of dwarf fortress pretty soon because of the required amount of effort (such as having to learn how to drill past an aquifer using water pumps from the wiki) and the resulting anxiety that all the work would be lost if I screw anything up.Meanwhile, I enjoyed rimworld enough to play it for 20 consecutive hours once. It's less overwhelming but still has plenty to manage and leads to fun things happening.But if I were stuck on an island with one of the two, I'd probably take dwarf fortress
