After taking a turn in the secession game I decided to start up my own fort. Two and a half years in, I have seen a weremoose attack (two dead, infected militia commander is trapped in a walled-off section of the fort), and just now an Etten (a giant two-headed humanoid creature). The Etten died without too much disaster, but it has dropped a tablet which turns anyone who reads it into a necromancer.

      No other simulator feels as alive as Dwarf Fortress. The steam version is really accessible.

        The only thing Rimworld does that I want DF to add is to generate an interactable instance/map for missions outside the fort

          that would be legit cool. or if DF had the same level of radically game altering mods.

          playing rimworld right now but im in space slowly building up a former exploration vessel into a warship using cobbled hulks of pirate ships i've defeated in combat. mods be crazy. also how cool would it be to have a sailing ship in DF

      I pirated it today to play it for the first time then I read a bunch of stuff about the devs and now I feel too bad to play it desolate

        It is still for free on their website. Yeah it would be cool if you could pay the $30 because they live in Hell world and have medical bills but it was available to the public for 19 years.
