Did DFHack - Dwarf Fortress Modding Engine leave you in a replayable frame of mind? These games could fill that gap nicely.

1. Dwarf Fortress

   

   Build a fortress into a generated mountain and try to keep your dwarves fed, watered, and mostly sane. They have their own personalities, strange art tastes, and strong opinions about beer. It will go wrong, probably spectacularly, and that is half the point.

3. Dwarfs - F2P

   

   A fast, funny arcade strategy about running a dwarf colony that digs itself into trouble. Your little miners tunnel for gold on their own, break into lava and monster caves, and it is your job to patch the mess before the Town Hall (and its beer) goes under.

4. Craft The World

   

   Lead a tribe of dwarves in a sandbox strategy game that mixes digging, building, crafting and godly powers. Dig from treetops down to lava, craft everything from pickaxes to armor, and keep the walls strong when portals spit out monsters. Every world is random, every colony plays out differently.
