Hello everyone, I’ve seen a lot of my friends play these types of games (mainly rimworld) and saw the complexity of this game and decided to pick it up. While it is very interesting, it’s also very daunting to me.
My guess is that I’m more used to rpg and fps games with a set goal of some sort whereas this game is very open ended with what to do. I am overwhelmed by all of the options in the game and I am wondering if there are others that feel the same. If so, how have you overcome this feeling or learned to enjoy the game?
An idea I have is to just go with the in game tutorials and see what happens without worrying about the outcome, maybe I’m caught up with doing everything optimally when I should just enjoy the experience.
Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!
You reminded me Dwarf Fortress exists, I might give DF another go now, thanks.
They are probably horribly out of date, but I used the Tutorials on the wiki to get a senese of the game, mind you that was around 2013. Then I just set a goal for a run like, building a working water delivery system, trying a certain trap design, constructing a tower over the ocean, etc. Or just trying to keep my dwarves happy. My second or third fort was on a volcano and I tried to design a magma fall in the dining area. And when I felt burnt out on the game I just put it away for half a year.
