    This isn’t throwing shade on other games or anything, but something I really like about dwarf fortress is that infrastructure projects are hard. In something like city skylines, you just build a bridge with the click of a button and spend money. That’s fine, but even building a castle or aqueduct in dwarf fortress requires planning and organizing resources and workers which makes it feel a lot more special

      Yeah this is one of the best thing about DF. Like, in order to build down, you need to excavate each layer otherwise the whole thing collapses.

      What about ‘Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic’? I love that game so much. Makes me feel like a part of the central planning of a city(ies).
