    Don’t dozens of games that old and older have better world gen?

    Like Dwarf Fortress, which is old enough to drink in the US.

      The history is the real selling point for me, idk any other game that builds a rich world of history fully randomly like they do. Can’t wait for the adventure mode release on steam

        I just wish it was a little less buggy/not user friendly. I played for awhile when it released on steam, but going back to it sounds so annoying having to set up all those crafting orders again. I stopped last time because there got to be too many cave dwellers and it slowed the game to a crawl. I think they’ve fixed that now, and my other annoyance of the ammo stack issue. I just wish the crafting orders were just a little bit closer to rimworld’s.

          You do know for like 18 years dwarf fortress was made by one very autistic dude.

          It’s very impressive software, and understandable why it can be a little confusing sometimes.

            Yeah it is very impressive and I do love it. It is just a bit frustrating at times and I kind of have to fight with the systems a bit to get it to do what I want.

          Honestly I haven’t run into any major bugs yet, but I could just be lucky. Definitely agree that the crafting orders menu sucks though

            I guess not really buggy. Maybe a bit janky at times. I also wish the tombstone system worked better. I sometimes don’t notice I have ghosts for awhile then have to queue up a bunch of tombstones. It would be nice if that could be automated or at the very least have a persistent warning notification that I need to make one. All these dumbass dwarfs falling to their deaths…
