The only real problem with the graphics (assuming you are referring to the ASCII) is that it makes it hard to see that's going on and contributes to the steep learning curve. Apart from that, it's not so bad, and it also allows the developer to add features to the game without worrying too much about their graphical representation. For example, creatures in the games can have individual body parts/organs destroyed/hacked off. Having to represent these effects on e.g. a model would be a lot of extra effort.

This game is good if you make it over the mountain of learning how to play. The first time I started I was confused as hell, I didn't even know what I was looking at. If you want to get into it, make sure to always keep their wiki up, and make sure you always have booze! (also make sure to start with some bonuses in fishing, the easiest way of getting food early, and woodcutting, lumber being the only building material early on beside building underground) The game uses incredibly simplistic graphics for the reason theDamian explained. If you took the complexities of this game and added 7th gen graphics, or hell, 5th gen graphics, you would get something no one could ever develop for free. Of course, it isn't about the visuals, it's about successfully building your dwarf empire and becoming extraordinarily wealthy.
Once you get the hang of it, you'll find it hard to get away from playing.

How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net -

Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful. -

I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff+2

Monovertex:
@tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though -
Varine:
I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
-
Varine:
Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
-
Varine:
So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
-
Varine:
I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
-
Varine:
Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
-
Varine:
Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
