That’s fair, I never really got into the strategy genre so those didn’t come to mind. But I have people on my friends list who have an absolute insane played time in Civilization so I can see where you’re coming from

I’ve been playing EU4 since around 2018-2019 (on and off, to be fair, not consistently), and still don’t know a lot of stuff about the game.

I tried to get into it a while ago, but it felt so half-cooked. This weird voice-over with the mispronounced words, the obscure tech tree and overall progression, I don’t know…
It felt like a lot more work to get into than Factorio or Satisfactory did back in the day, with a smaller payoff.
Am I missing something?

I dunno, I played it very early on because it was factorio with space travel. Now factorio is factorio with space travel though… It was fun at the time, and I liked being able to stack stuff and have the orbital features.
I don’t even recall a voiceover…

I love Factorio but I don’t know if I like the new planets. Except Gleba. That place is great. Think I spent like 50% of my space age play through there. Maybe it is just the space rocket part of the game I don’t like… Stupid rockets look awesome but such a pain to design every time :(

This one is missing “captain of industry”
Anyone who ticks the factorio/satisfactory/Dyson box should check it out. Free demo.
Don’t blame me if you time skip a few days after.

I’m gonna check it out, the reviews look promising! Just gotta finish my dyson sphere first…

The fact that no one has said anything about RimWorld shows how far you all have to go

RimWorld is great, but it’s a shadow of what Dwarf Fortress offers.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 months ago

It makes Rimworld look like the Geneva convention.

I always default to answering with this when somebody asks questions like that.
Darwen childcare:
It’s like regular childcare, except with more dogs, and less care. The idea is simple, but will take some finesse to perform.
The premise is fairly simple. Animals enclosed in a tight space will lash out randomly, often attacking a dwarf in the same tile. This extends over time to create a biological danger room, where the dwarven children are subjected to 12 years of consistent dog biting, scratching, and watching the dogs kill each other, quickly leveling up the child to legendary dodger, perhaps wrestler/kicker/biter/etc if the dwarf manages to counterattack. Not sure if a dwarf will counterattack an animal. The child will eat the food from the floor that he’s been staring at for the past 12 years, and will ideally be comforted by some lovely mist falling right beside him. Once the years have passed, and the child grows into a scarred, hardened, tough-as-steel dwarf (don’t forget agility, endurance, etc) who doesn’t care about anything. Or, keep the lid closed, and throw in a weapon and shield, and replace the dogs with goblins.
The only issue is trying to get the child to survive without going berzerk. But then again, that might just turn into training for the other caged children, right?

Yeah, but the learning curve. I just can’t seem to find a good rhythm with timing (that is: either I’m playing with the dwarves moving and they go crazy too fast, or I’m paused and just don’t feel engaged with them). I def feel Rimworld hits a good comfy zone on this.

If you haven’t used the Geneva convention as a checkbox, have you really played Rimworld?

Haha yeah I just used the first games that came to mind, and since automation games are by far my most played I suppose those might be overrepresented. But rimworld is a time sink too haha
