I understand why SoS and DF keep getting compared but they're very different games. It's an apples-to-oranges comparison.

>DF has Z-Layers. SoS Doesn't.
>DF is a Base-Building Sim like Rimworld in the scale of dozens colonists. SoS is a City-Builder in the scale of thousands of citizens.
>DF combat is mostly based around trapdoors and defense structures with smaller-scale melee combat. SoS combat is mostly based around large armies with Total War mechanics, and aditionally sieging fortifications and siege engines.
>DF's Overworld map layer is an optional feature you can choose not to interact with for the most part. SoS Overworld is an unavoidable part of the game, with many 4X mechanics that will start affecting your nation you as you grow your city.
>DF's management is centered around keeping individuals in check, while SoS is more so about Population/Demographic management.

In shorter terms, DF is a Micromanaging Simulator, while SoS is a Macromanagement Sim.
They aren't comparable like people say they are outside of both being fantasy strategy games centered around building a thriving colony.
