Dwarf Fortress goes Rimworld?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

What? Rimworld has always been a simplified 2D copycat of Dwarf Fortress.
DF adventure mode has existed for over a decade before the game got launched on Steam.

Oh hey so that's actually correct

Rimworld is a Framework, you expand it with mods. I've got about 150 of them nicely playing together.

Dwarf Fortress has quite a bit of mods that expand the world by quite a bit. Though ofc it also has a lot more features than Rimworld does in terms of simulating a world in the base game, so no surprises there.

Also easy to make mods when graphics can take a small backseat in the non steam version.

Sure, i didn't say that dwarf fortress wasn't more complex. Just wanted to point out that rimworld is not all there is.
