Seriously GTFO guys with stockholm syndrome for keyboard only controls. Try to fucking build anything in vanilla without mods and especially if something has more than one level. It works for digging holes but if you want to actually design something and build in 3D it is fucking pain in ass.
I frequently build over ground fortresses and without mods it is practically impossible as any structure with 3-4 levels and some complexity takes 20-30 minutes even for small house so doing anything bigger is day or more work. DF keyboard scheme is playable yes but it is clear to anyone that 5 year old could do better keyboard scheme. Just that you have 3 different directional key sets for different parts of UI is enough to bang wall with head for how stupid it is.
RimWorld is completely playable without keyboard and joy to play. DF does have more complexity but that complexity is in system not in player accessibility.
