UGH. So much of my design talk about basebuilders is centered around how boring and annoying the "endless streams of enemies" paradigm is.
It's KINDA bad in Dwarf Fortress.
In Rimworld it's complete trash. You'll literally get raids every day for weeks and weeks, none of which make even passing sense and all of which take up enormous amounts of time both during the fight and healing afterwards.
It's so fucking boring.
