When you get bored of rimworld in a few thousand hours and are ready for something similar with a larger scope ceiling, try songs of syx.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Song of syx is much smaller then rimworld. So much of the game is fake hand waving to make it feel bigger.

The ai not having to follow like any of the rules the player does and so much of the world being a fake sim hurts it massively.

larger scope

Yeah, it's a cool game, but no way it's larger in scope than Rimworld

i feel you, but you obviously haven't had a colony with 400+ civilians and no lag. Rimworld can't do that. Songs of Syx can.

They're different games, focused on different things. Taht's why I said Scope Cieling, not just scope.
