    Nah, I’m a hardcore Rimworld fan who’s been with it since the forum Alphas, and that’s completely true, heh. IIRC was explicitly inspired by DF, literally part of the description in the early days.

    That being said, I’ve never played DF. I’m more into sci fi and tech than Tolkien-esque fantasy, hence I’ve passed on stuff like Necesse and… what’s that massive city builder? That, and many I’ve forgotten the names of.

    Maybe I will give DF a look though. Maybe it has automation/tech mods that would make it more appealing, like Minecraft and Rimworld?

      I’m also way more into sci fi than fantasy. But IMO, DF is a much, much better game. I’ve never looked for a mod that does what you’re looking for but I wouldn’t be surprised if it exists, at least for the texture packs. I think it would be pretty challenging to make a mod that redid all the generated flare (like when your dwarves carve stuff up and there’s RNG of the scene they carve) but not impossible. I never cared about any of that crap so I never read it anyways, but lots of people love it.
