Yeah. You know, I wonder if we could use dfhack and LD_PRELOAD to force df to do some multithreading.

Wow. Now I get what 1d4chan meant when they said the game was gutting itself with each progressive update.

>Trolling, to me, just aggravates the actual problem: deep socioeconomic/racial/sexual inequities. Trolling needn't have anything to do with any of those subjects. It has, however,…

I would argue that not just anyone can be a troll. Or at least, an effective one. As disgusting as the words sound, there is an art to hurting people, and most trolls are downright…

That's true. People complain about being banned, and then it turns out that they called someone's mother a hamster. Not that there isn't some awful part of me thinks it's a little …

For the most part, they're more annoying than anything else. But wow, are they annoying.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer! As a fan of Zachtronics games, This definitely sounds like something I might like. >so much of modern modded minecraft consists of building a s…

Like I said, I was aiming for a game that had similar depth/complexity tradeoffs to DF, but which wasn't situated in the simulation/sandbox genre, where all comers have to be compa…

That's true. I actually agree, the wording could have been better.

I know. MotN is the game that got me into the stealth genre. Then I started playing Thief: The Dark Project. I still haven't beaten the first level of that... :-(

Wait, that was Klei? ...I need to start keeping tabs on those guys, like I do with Yacht Club, Supergiant, and Zachtronics.

Fair enough... I would argue that Quake has a lot more emergent complexity in its mechanics than a lot of other FPSes. Deathmatch has elements of territory control - moreso than in…

Sounds an awful lot like modded MC to me... Go check out the Feed The Beast modpack or something of that sort for a taste of it.

Okay. Your comment made me think otherwise. Sorry...

That's totally fair, and I would expect it. So there's a major benefit for server owners...

Have you played modded Minecraft? The automation systems there are extremely elaborate, leaving redstone in the dust, and it's been like that for a very long time now. We've got lu…

World Anchors have long been a feature of many mods, which let you keep map segments loaded while you're away. Mind, you still can't simulate the entire map, and it's generally rou…

Klei? Heh. I didn't see them making those sorts of games. Loved MotN, though, so I might give it a go.

That's total and absolute nonsense. Speaking as a linux user with a good bit of experience with sed, awk, and regex, DF is way worse.

Really? Like what?

From what I can tell, Factorio is just top-down modded Minecraft, with less of a community. So I'd go for MC over FIO. But I haven't played FIO, so maybe I'm nuts. Anyways, if you …

Dwarf Fortress fills its niche very well, to the point that anything that tries to make the same tradeoffs (extreme depth at the cost of accessability) in the same arena will inevi…

Any suggestions for those of us who like the Now Launcher? In fact, any suggestions generally? I could go for a lighter launcher.

It looks like it might be a nice language to write stuff for the GBA with. Or the GB/CGB, for that matter, but space is much more limited there.
