Depends if they like starting at ASCII. KSP has a much more familiar interface and would probably be the better route to go.

There are actually a surprising number of detailed graphics mods you can get for Dwarf Fortress (although not wanting to fiddle with modding the game is entirely understandable).
Very true, but even with graphics mods the difference in ease of use between DF and KSP's interfaces is vast.
The Lazy Newb Pack more or less takes care of the difficulty of doing that, though.
Would you say DF could be a graduation up from KSP, or am I just barking up the wrong tree thinking they're related more than they are (never played MC, DF or KSP)?
Barking up the wrong tree. They are different games with different goals and all 3 can be incredibly complex.
Thanks!
