You need Rimworld with mods. To see what's possible see for example "The Wizards of the Black Death" playthrough by Rhadamant:

And here is the list of mods for Rimworld which creates this world:

Rhadamant shows a ton of different Rimworld scenarios in his Youtube channel, and does marathon Twitch streams of the game as well. Many of them heavily modded to do all sorts of fantasy and sci-fi scenarios. You can get many ideas for your own scenarios from them.

To bring it back slightly on-topic, I strongly suspect that while Dwarf Fortress influenced Rimworld, Rimworld had some influence on the Steam version of DF in terms of the graphical user interface.

I've actually played with mods and Zetrith's multiplayer mod is a must! No honestly, stop what you're doing and go check it out. Especially if you have at least one friend! I manage to even make it work with many many mods.

It's been a couple of years since I last played using this mod, so it's probably even better now. The only down side at the time was that it would desync sometimes, so you'd have to wait a bit a resync, but it's still so worth it because the experience is just so amazing! I would probably pay the price of the game again just to have an official version of multiplayer.

This is co-op multiplayer, at least how I played it.

Highly recommended to anyone who likes RimWorld and has at least one friend!
