This somehow made me feel that I should take up Dwarf Fortress again.

  Maybe you'd be interested in Rimworld? It's not free, but it does a great job of bringing Dwarf-Fortress into the 21st century, both figuratively and literally. I'm a fan of both games, but the modding community behind Rimworld already challenges the 20 years of Dwarf Fortress content around. Really impressive stuff, and a fun game overall.

    I love rimworld, and have never been able to get into dwarf fortress properly, but I'd characterize DF as way more advanced than rimworld in terms of mechanics and simulation. Rimworld sacrifices a lot of complexity in favor of a simpler UI and a more streamlined game. I haven't modded rimworld to oblivion yet, but I don't think you can e.g. make rimworld 3D in any convincing sense through mods. That said, I recommend rimworld anyway.
