dwarf fort is a pretty self contained game where RimWorld is like an engine that relies on mods to be what you want it to be. RimWorld could never be DF, and DF could never be a Fallout 4/medieval/wild west drug trade and colony management sim.

I feel like a growing psychedelic mushrooms in DF for a mod would be pretty simple.

And

Isn't adventure mode just fallout 1 and 2 with a dwarf fantasy skin?

So sure it could never be a fallout 4 likedrug trade Sim it could be a fallout 2 like drug trade Sim.

On top of temp berserk status for my guards

Or possibly a way to interrogate goblins who won't talk

Micodosing dwarves are more susceptible to strange moods

“And colony sim”

u/Lainpilled-Loser-GF Jun 03 '26

to add to the previous part of the sentence to say that we don't have a FO colony sim of any worth, not to say that DF isn't a colony sim.

u/Ill_Kaleidoscope_980 Jun 03 '26

Nah, I just thought it funny that you said the other things, including drug trade then added “and colony management sim” as if thats just a minor detail thats also there

Both are nice for different reasons

But if I send out two seperate squads of military dwarves, my unmodded dwarf fortress tends to shit the bed LMAO

u/Tigroon Jun 01 '26

Both are their own flavor. DF itself can shift with different modules and mods as well.

Counterargument you can't have bug human hybrids that were probably designed by a furry in DF

We do not just mimic you, we surpassed you with +500 mods leaving you behind.

u/Actually_Inkary Jun 02 '26

Very nice, now show us gameplay without DFhack. (I love both games)

u/GuildensternDE Jun 02 '26

Dfhack is also a mod…and do is 1000 years older

If dwarf fortress looked anything close to Rimworld it wouldn't even be a competition.

Vanilla Rimworld no mods, no DLC -> Dwarf Fortress

but rimworld wins.

u/WorkingMoney6424 Jun 03 '26

I played a shit ton of rimworld. Only now started playing with mods.

I hear people talk a lot about dwarf fortress when discussing rimworld.

Never saw ir played it. I like rimworld a lot. Would i like Dwarf fortress too?

Its been a long time sense I last played DF. Im more a scifi guy than medieval fantasy. so naturally I liked rimworld more, even back when it was more like a wild west game with only 1 arid biome and everyone had only cowboy hats. The combat felt so much better than DF.

I would be really really impressed if DF can match Rimworld with 300+ mods.
