>Is the DLC worth it?
They're called Expansions, not DLC, and they're worth every penny. Do not pirate the game.
>Is the Book worth it?
"Designing Games" is wisdom you won't find anywhere else...and if you've been in the trenches of even a small game development team trying to get out "good" product, this book is for you. It's your story and it will make you think about how you make your many choices in both Game Design, and just Game Creation a bit differently.
>Is Dwarf Fortress welcome here?
Absolutely not. It is inferior to RimWorld in every conceivable way.
>What mods for performance?
Performance Optimizer and Slower Pawn Tick Rate.
