Well the main attraction is the stories it creates and what you create in game.  So I&#x27;d say to play Craft the World if you want a DF-like with more direction to it, but DF itself is irreplaceable if you want to do things like attacking Hell with minecarts full of whales for the added mass (and therefore, momentum).<p>DF is more about the crazy stories that happen when you&#x27;re, say, draining the ocean to set up those whale traps.  Or building a roof over the world, pumping it full of magma, and rigging trapdoors to allow your Orbital Magma Cannon to fry any spot on the surface.
