Similar game like this?
Are there other similar games like this one, but with real engine and real graphic?

I totaly love the concept. But beside the concept, everything is wrong with Dwarven Fortress.

There's approximately 15 billion colony management sims, it's a pretty common genre. If you can give some examples of what kind of art style you like, we might be able to mention some games that suit you better.

There's about 100 that show up every year and maybe 1 or 2 will actually properly leave Early Access while the rest get abandoned or released to never see an update..
Rimworld is a colony sim that me and many others hold highly, though there are less amazing details, that might actually be a benefit depending on the person. The graphics are still simple, but have smoother animations and are less pixelated. It is a quite different game, but similar concept

This is what brought me to DF, right here. It's great and annoying in it's own right--and a whole lot less mining. The downside is the DLCs, while great and completely change how you play, they just aren't worth the price tag. The game very rarely goes on sale, either, so there's that. But the base game is damn good, and I highly recommend it.

You, my friend, need to read the above post of mine (and the one above that).

There are some games that do parts of what DF does, some even do it well, but no game does everything DF does

It would help if you could describe what you're looking for. All I know is you want an engine and graphics, and a bugatti has at least one of those

Oxygen not included is a alternative with more fokus of Economic systems and survival... besides Rimworld its an alternative.

Rimworld, Oxygen Not Included, Banished and Frostpunk are where I'd start your search into, crossing the gamut between hard core sim like Dwarf Fortress to hostile city builders.

Oxygen Not Included is one I really enjoy as long as you have a basic understanding of gas physics

To be honest, aside from Rimworld none of those actually do a fraction of what DF does.

Which is not surprising, because it's DF.

If you want more grand-scale, there's Songs of Syx. If you want "Adventure Mode" - there's a whole slew of roguelikes.

But if you want a detailed "colony" simulation with some degree of psycho- and sociology involved... not even the original Tropico can match that.

It's just a game in its own league, and little wonder, considering it spawned an entire genre that is hardly going to catch up to the years of development already present.

There's a reason you'll rarely hear about things like Gnomoria, but DF is still going strong.
