Thoughts on Rimworld compared to Dwarf fortress?

I heard rimworld is a lot more simpler than df. Would you recommend it?

nothing compares to df, but if you don't have the autism to put up with tilesets and bad ui then rimworld will work.

Rimworld has less depth but is much easier to get into.

Df is much more complex but rimworld is a playable game

The simulation part of DF is unrivaled by anything.

But the gameplay of RM is infinitely better.

What I would do for DF to actually have a usable interface and UI like RM.

DF has more depth but is much harder to get into

DF has more depth and potential, Rimworld looks nicer. Rimworld with mods has more meaningful gameplay depth than DF. Rimworld without mods is rather shallow. I like the way the temperature mechanics work and the fact that pawns have to actually be managed. Rimworld as it is now feels more difficult than than DF.

Rimworld is harder. The only challenge in dorf fort is what you make yourself. You can just do nothing and have pretty much no risk.

Rimworld is babies first dwarf fortress. Its a good gateway to it.

i reccommend you pirate rimworld

The best thing about Rimworld are all the mods.

Meh, modding the legit game is alot easier and you get your moneys worth imo.

Don't listen to this retard. The only thing "hard" about DF is the inconsistent GUI that's built like kowloon city

This at most. Game is a RNG lottery that you either can play with or it just insta-destroys your 16 hour game without any chance of a fight because of how retarded the balancing is.

Also slide these threads, this is Tynan starting them all the time, it's always the same picture and same question in the post

Well some aspects of the game are way more complex like setting up an infirmary or a military as well as managing nobles. I'm not sure why you think it's controversial to say that Rimworld is easier to learn than DF.

is there a mega or magnet of the full game anywhere?

>random events are nonsense (if there's a volcanic winter, there should actually be a volcano that you could go to and look at)
>progressive difficulty ramp-up is tiresome and makes no sense
most bad things happen in dwarf fortress because you exported wealth to the outside world.
enemy populations are (abstractly) tracked, the more you kill the less come. not the case in rimworld.
it's all because of crappy simulation.

Just because something is easier to learn doesn't mean it has less depth. The _only_ thing difficult about DF is challenges the player has to set for themselves or the GUI. That's it. DF is hardly more than creative minecraft.

there was on piratebay of it's latest release, I think. Was a couple months back

The thing that pissed me off was the CONSTANT wiring short circuits that would empty my batteries and that there was nothing that could be done about them. no matter what the construction skill to set them up was, they would constantly blow up. it made batteries worthless beyond storing a charge from windmills or solar panels. also the way that psychic drones ramped up in power as the game went on. just when you overcome the constant at least low-level mood break risks, your colony starts getting random -22 or -30-whatever mood multipliers just for "difficulty". whats the point of having a hurdle that when you jump just gets higher are you jump it? its fucking retarded and fuck tynan for being a retard too

>Game is a RNG lottery that you either can play with or it just insta-destroys your 16 hour game without any chance of a fight because of how retarded the balancing is.
Are you playing on Randy Random on max difficulty or something?

>Not playing Randy Savage mode

>complains about RNG
>plays with Randy on hardest difficulty
It seems i've identified your problem chief.

DF has way way more content and depth. Nothing can or ever will come close to it. Rimworld is for people to lazy to spend some time learning the controls, but you get a way simplier game without much to do.
Every time i've played RW its exactly the same, and its really boring. Make a base, make crops, build defenses and your done. I don't even make kill boxes or anything, but you can which eliminates any single chance the game could be challenging. You have to gimp yourself on purpose which is retarded. Its a game you turn your brain off while listening to a podcast or something, like the sims.
DF you can do all sorts of crazy shit, build basically anything you can think of and do way more with the game.

no, if anything i don't know where the randy-is-the-hardest meme comes from because he's usually the most mellow in my games. he might fuck you early but once you get past that i've never had major problems with him

cassandra after youre up to like 11-13 people just starts throwing retarded levels of events at you consecutively, i had a perfect colony going that got a psychic drone ship, pirate raid, flash storm (that ignited and burned an entire tropical rainforest map), and a manhunter pack all in about a 5 day window and that screwed me one time.
