Isn't RimWorld one of those games that is like heroin? I'm too scared to try it

For me, I do eventually get tired of it. But then a new dlc comes out and I make a new colony or two to experience the new stuff. And I have spent 100+ hours on colonies before.

It can really suck you in for sure. You may want to avoid it if you experience video game addiction. But, on the other hand, it has given me something to actually look forward to. Shrug

It's more the gateway drug into factorio i think. Never played any of these but that's what i've heard.

Naw, Rimworld is like Dwarf Fortress, nothing like Factorio

They have an overlapping fan base, but they're distinctly different games. I prefer RimWorld, personally, but I have put many hours into Factorio, as well.
