I want to love this game, I really do, but there are several issues I have with it that needs to be resolved or at least tweaked.

Pros:
> Dwarves.
> I really like the artstyle.
> Building feels good and isn't overly complicated.
> The existence of the pause/fastforward system is greatly appreciated.
> Very good game for when you want something to do but you don't have the energy to really get into something that requires constant attention.
> The job restriction system is really nice once you get a hang of it.
> The game runs smooth until I have around 30 dwarves.
Cons:
> After 30-40+ dwarves the game starts to slowly fall apart, the dwarves starts lagging around even though my fps is around 100, unoccupied dwellings stay lit even when not occupied so I lose track of how many free ones I have, the efficiency of the dwarves seems to go down severely as some of them suddenly seem to only haul singular items all of a sudden or dig a single space and then run off to do whatever or construct half a building and leave the rest to someone else.
> The dwelling upgrades, the fact that I have to go through each dwelling and apply the upgrade is infuriatingly tedious, it would be much better if there was a research room where all the upgrades could be bought and then automatically applied to all rooms at once, maybe add upgrades for the rest of the buildings as well, like faster ore drills or less ingredients required for workshop type rooms.
> I would like a way to make sure that tools and clothing only gets made from higher quality ore and leather and at the same time make sure that things like parchment, gauze, metal plates, machine parts and such only uses lower grade materials as having them made with higher quality stuff doesn't seem to do anything and feels like a massive waste of those materials.
> The automatic pausing each time a building gets attacked or a dwarf goes unconscious needs to stop or at least have a way to toggle it off, I don't need to be notified that something just died outside a door to my spike traps after managing to knock once, or if I'm in a big battle and dwarves are dropping like flies, I don't need to have my screen yanked away from what I'm doing and constantly interrupted by automatic pauses it just makes it really annoying.
> The enemy dwellings become useless after you break them, I'd like there to be something you could build on top of rat dens and such, like a rat farm for rat leather, meat and bones or a slime farm, just something to make them not useless, yes, building traps around them instead of breaking them technically does do this but it feels clunky and annoying and since you can't trap directly under it it feels inefficient as some mobs survive in the middle.
> Some clans of dwarves apparently dislike other clans? I wouldn't know, as I've never noticed any problems occurring due to this, honestly don't know why this is even in the game when it seemingly does absolutely nothing, yet there's upgrades in the great hall to "help" with this "issue".
> I'd like a way to rally all of my fighting dwarves to a point so they can go in as a group instead of trickling in one at a time and instantly dying, I have lost way too many runs due to this specific thing happening.
> Some ingredients must be bought from overworld factions and cannot be reliably found otherwise, this wouldn't be a problem if there was a way to set up automated trading for these, though I'd rather have a way to make them myself like a boar farm for the meat or a beaver farm for the leather.

Other than the 30+ dwarf lag, the no rally flag and the dwelling upgrade issues the cons are more of a mild annoyance at most and I do really enjoy the game and do recommend it.

Like FPS's? Then this is a must play. Some say that this game is a pay-to-win, I say not really becouse the starter weapons are equally as good as anything else you can buy, but if you want another weapon in the store it's gonna take a while to get it with in-game cash. So if you wanna have an arsenal at hand and you don't like spending a lot of money on a game, you're either gonna have a bad time or a really fun time depending on how good you are at shooting people in the face. I also recommend getting a few friends together while playing, it gets so much more fun and a lot easier.
