I love Don't Starve, but it doesn't even approach the complexity of Dwarf Fortress. I think the similarity is mostly thematic, both being pretty dark and having a techno-fantasy element.

More relevant, their latest game: https://www.kleientertainment.com/games/oxygen-not-included

System-driven space colony simulation, with a particular emphasis on maintaining breathable air.

Seems only logical...

I found DS to be too hands on. I like to be more elevated, with my pawns having some autonomy.

How are they pawns if they have autonomy ;-)

Dwarf Fortress' complexity is far, far superior. It's not comparable.

I have enjoyed many, many hours with don's starve. The modern randomized, living world games are a lot of fun.
