imo there is no alternative. How many games have awesome things like stones that can be entangled(_bridges op_) and soap pillars that can hold up whole fortresses?

We're the Zero-K team man. We can do better than just another Minecraft clone...
...like a Dwarf Fortress clone.
This here, this is Kickstarters Minecraft Clone Purgatory:

(Then again, I'd take $3000 for something I'm doing for free right now...).

This space dwarfs thing sounds suspiciously like a really long game of Sand Castles. No Thanks!

Well, I've backed Stonehearth for 2 beta entries. Hoping it will turn out as awesome as it looks as I plan on playing it with my kid.

No distribution yet for that game. This makes me sad. I must construct a statue of a dwarf weeping magma to deal with this sadness.

meh it isin't epic if it isn't built out of ice, suspended 100z levels down the magma pipe of an active volcano!
i once tried to build it on the bottom of the magma sea, but thats hard :P

Maybe if you use a scaled-up aquifer penetrating hammer technique to create a dry-dock of some sort...
I shall have to try that sometime.

For everyone that wanted it, you can "buy" RimWorld now:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tynansylvester/rimworld/
"A sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller."
Win, Mac, Linux. No DRM, and another normal good thing from KS.

and time for more "space dwarves":

http://spacebasedf9.com/
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/10/15/revealed-double-fines-sci-fi-dwarf-fortress-spacebase-df-9/
For the only that do not like to wait you can already get it now in their site or Steam Early Access.
