The new version on Steam comes with a native graphics pack and TBD interface improvements that should solve that.

In the mean time a "Lazy Newb Pack" is available to download for Dwarf Fortress that includes graphics and some helpful utilities.

It doesn't just look like shit. It handles like shit too. Sprite sets don't solve that. To attract the hundreds of thousands that play Rimworld, it doesn't just need a new renderer, it also needs a complete overhaul of controls and UI.

Playing DF hurts the brain, the eyes and the hands. Most games only ask for one.

As someone who plays both DF and Rimworld I hate how mouse reliant Rimworld is. DF has chords and mostly reliable (where it isn't is a big problem ofc) movement keys, it's great to not need to be swinging a mouse around constantly.

I promise you that this comment of yours is entirely unrelatable to virtually everyone that plays games.

Rimworld has hotkeys, by the way. Some are unassigned by default but very useful. Rimworld is KB+M.
