After playing a bunch of Rimworld and trying to get into Dwarf Fortress I wanted to find more in this genre and stumbled across this game called Embark and have been playing it nonstop over the last week. There is a lot you can do in this game and different strategies you can use to stay alive and expand your colony to 100+ people. The dev is also very active and has been putting out frequent patches as well as answering questions and discussing the game on Discord.

quote:


Inspired by the deep simulation of Dwarf Fortress, the open world survival of Minecraft, and the social interactions of The Sims.
Embark is a colony management game with a focus on complex simulation in a huge living 3D world.


Order your colonists to build the ultimate base in multiple Z levels.
Manage your colonists' needs.
Watch your colonists live their own lives and have their own relationships.
Build aqueducts and pumps to manage a detailed water simulation system.
Farm food with a detailed plant simulation system.
Tame and hunt animals.
Craft dozens of different items to keep your colonists happy and defend yourself.
Dig deep to find sources of metal ore with a prospecting system.
Explore the massive game map.
Defend your colony with a detailed combat system.
Play a procedurally generated map with different biomes and places of interest each time.
Each component of an item has a material and quality which affects the item differently.
Impress or fight with other factions.
Trade with other factions.

How's the performance? I though even the trailer looked a bit stuttery as it zoomed out.
