Forgot to reply to the posts comparing Rimworld to Dwarf Fortress. The biggest perk Rimworld has over DF is its ease of use you can CLICK a guy and tell them to DO THING. Something as simple as this is hidden behind a bunch of tricks you need to pull off in DF as directly ordering dwarves isn't the intended method. You have to select a dwarf, manage their jobs, tasks, activities, workplaces etc. and then request an urgent task assigned to that dwarf in specific. Basically the dwarves want to be free-roaming chickens who have preferences on what they do and you need to micro manage disallow FUCKING EVERYTHING to have them do the only specific thing they're allowed to do anymore. And this isn't foolproof either if the dwarf is angry, hungry, thirsty, sleepy, etc.
It is incredibly tedious to have things go according to your wishes in timeframes that you want, so it's not for the faint of heart control freak types. The steam release has actual user interfaces that work respectably so it's much, much less tedious.
Other than that, I prefer DF in virtually every other regard; the setting, the detail, the Z-axes, the FUN.
