What's the appeal of this game?
Is this one of those games for autistic people?
Why would people even play this?

The combination of different elements of the game generate unusual and interesting situations. Imaginative people able to use their brains organize what they are witnessing, creating an engaging and stimulating narrative.
It is not a game for everyone, but it is not difficult to understand the appeal if you are not a complete retard.

Its not so much of a game, its more of a storytelling simulator. Its like D&D if you have no friends.

God damn it. I bumbled into Krugsmash fairly recently and I've been watching some of his forts and I have conflicted feelings. On one hand, I appreciate that he doesn't shill his patreon for a quarter of every single video. On the other hand, something about him rubs me the wrong way. I suppose he's enough of an autist to play Dorf Fort but not so much of an autist that he can't have fun with the story aspects, so maybe I should write off his weirdness as that. It makes for interesting watching though, how much gameplay he condenses into each video is kind of nice.

toady himself has jokingly said that the players are the people who only read stories, post fanart and the like, while the people that actually play the game are his QA department. take that as you will.

if you can get past the complete lack of explanation on game mechanics (you will have to look everything up on the wiki), the horrendous ui, ascii graphics (unless you use mods) and total lack of direction, there actually is a really cool world and story generation engine based on emergent gameplay resulting from a massive array of complex, interconnecting systems that drive the main reason why people play the game.
if you want the world and story generation engine without all the downsides, just read and/or watch the stories people have made while playing the game.
if you want a watered down version of the core gameplay loop with actually good ui, graphics and tutorials then play rimworld. there are plenty of mods if you get bored of the standard vanilla game, and you can try out df once you understand how colony management sims work.
