You should really try Rimworld. He took the concept of Dwarf Fortress and perfected it. The systems are incredibly well balanced, and there is less of an emphasis on "industrialization", and more of an emphasis on scheduling of tasks for your workers. So that even once you have a fully functional colony running that is able to overproduce food and fend off any attackers, you then have to deal with the interpersonal and personal emotional issues between your workers to keep things stable.

I really think those two games are in different genres. DF isn’t about perfecting some kind of dwarf version of a factory. It’s computer assisted world building. The point is to create interesting history, locations and items which you then recount as stories or you explore in adventure mode. I’d like to see DF grow further with more interaction with the world. It would be amazing to eventually have something capable of building an entire fantasy world with that you could then explore.
