It is certainly not. It's a well-known limitation.
And it's not even specific to Dwarf Fortress: with most "simulation" games you really can't have your cake and eat it too.
Some games sidestep it with "make-believe" simulation, where they reduce simulation resolution to arrive at something plausible, but not necessarily correct.
But that's not what people are playing DF for. I like my pinkies damn well simulated.
- Vvector 5y agoBut your pinky doesn't have to be simulated every frame, right?
- malnourish 5y agoThat entirely depends on your objectives; pragmatically, of course there are worthwhile optimizations to be made, from _my_ perspective, but my idea of optimization is not Tarn's.
- Vvector 5y agoI've followed DF since 2010. Tarn treats his game more like a hobby than a business. Of course, that is his prerogative, and maybe his objective.
