Another generic post about an extremely well-known colony simulator, with a title downplaying the significance. Both RimWorld and Dwarf Fortress are genre-defining cultural phenomenons. It's like posting Linux and making it sound like something unknown. What's going on?
This game has been out for ever. If it hasn't been posted on here many times before I'd be shocked.
One of the deepest, most replayable strategy and sim games. So many subsystems that mesh together for unique emergent behavior.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I like to spend 5 hours downloading and updating mods, then play for 2 hours
I still play vanilla. I've never beaten it.
Starting up new colonies and getting established to the point of "yeah I can handle all the raids thrown at me at this point" is when I move on to start a new colony with a new religion/race/theme. Actually going from "solidly established colony" to "you win!" credits is I think the weakest part of RimWorld, although I haven't tried being a nomad yet which has what sounds like a way more interesting path all the way through to the victory screen.
Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld are currently on the front page. I don't know why, but I like it.

I like it but I never got around to adopting the mindset of “your colonists are disposable, just roll with it if (when) something terrible happens to them.” I think my issue is I treat these types of games (X-COM is another example) as RPGs and get too attached to the characters.
The only problem I have with this kind of game though is that time flies by really quickly for me with it. I think it's been 10 minutes while it's actually been an hour; next time I look at the clock it's 3am.
I only have this with games like RimWorld or SimCity (city builders, simulators) and it's actually the main reason why I play them so little. They're too "just one more thing".
So yeah, recommended but with a caveat.
RimWorld is excellent! The only problem I have with this kind of game though is that time flies by really quickly for me with it.
