* Simplistic world generation that doesn't really have a concept of weather or geography/climate.

* No liquid simulation (water/lava) with little physics simulation (falling/flying objects etc)

* Simplistic combat simulation

* No world politics simulation that dictates what happens in the world

* No 3D is the biggest one. RimWorld is Dwarf Fortress as it was a decade ago with a single 2D sheet.

* true, mentioned it

* true, mentioned it

* not really, you get layers and damage type and bleeding and organ failures impacting pawn abilities

* not really you can do diplomacy in rimworld between the colony and factions and it's deeper than current fortress mode options. diplomacy in worldgen is non actionable.

* true, mentioned it

the issue is 4/5 of those thing you repeat from my post don't add to gameplay (fluids) and some detracts even (path has severe issues caused by stairways).
