Now this is a game changer!
This looks awesome! The performance improvements alone make this update one of the best in my books.
That’s really exciting. I tried Anomaly and I didn’t really enjoy it much because of all the bunkering up. I like that we’re getting more environments with this one :D
I absolutely love how the team watches the most important QoL mods and gives similar features first class support.
The world generation updates are also very exciting. Time to make a lava volcano lair for my vampire cult.

For anyone who has played both, how does rimworld compare with dwarf fortress?
it’s the better video game IMO. Even after the steam release of DF, Rimworld is a lot more approachable and has more player direction (including multiple end goals). Dwarf fortress isn’t trying to compete as a video game, though, it’s doing its own thing as a dwarf sim that you just so happen to be able to play. I’ve incidentally learned so much about metallurgy because of needing to look up what black bronze is and what I need to fit my dwarves in some cool armor
Rimworld is simplified in some ways in that you have only one z level, and it comes with more QoL features.
Rimworld is a lot easier than DF to learn, and more intuitive.
And generally, you have fewer rimworld pawns than DF dwarves, so managing them is easier.
I for one love both games. Sometimes I want the simplicity of Rimworld. Other times I crave the endless complexity of DF and all the possibilities it brings.
