I would consider that!!

I have really liked similar games. I loved the mechanics in Jurassic world evolution, managing reputation. I also adored a series related to Kitty Powers, which is a weird series to bring up related to a starship strategy game, but reading into compatibility and trying to get things to run smooth is a pretty big part of a game where you match people on dates.

I am extremely intimidated by dwarf fortress but have considered it.

What sets it apart from rimworld, other than the more silly and fantasy related setting?

I love surviving mars. I just don’t feel there is as much of a focus on my lil peeps since their traits don’t typically interact much. It is a great game for people who love city builders and research managers and hate having to place every brick of that building.
