It's only been two weeks since the launch of Dwarf Fortress in Steam, and mods for Dwarf Fortress are already stored in the Workshop Steamlike logs in a lumber yard. While many of them add small, pleasant quality-of-life improvements, others have gone down the path of weirdness and quirkiness: Mods allow dwarves to make furniture out of cheese and, unfortunately, milk cats.

If you've never played Dwarf Fortress, there are a few things you should know. The first is that cats in this colony management game have a unique place of honor among the many animals that can become part of your fortress. Cats cannot be adopted like dogs or chickens - they must choose their own gnome to bond with.

The second important element is how Dwarf Fortress handles dairy operations. You create milking orders in the farm workshop, and by default the gnomes check to see if there are any animals available for milking, bring one of them to the workshop with a bucket, and fill the bucket with milk. Mod Dwarf Fortress Milkable Cats makes cats available for this process. We have not yet been able to test whether this has a negative effect on cats' attitudes towards gnomes.

Milk can be used to make cheese, both in Dwarf Fortress and in real life. Cheese is convenient in that it is a food that can be stored for a long time. WITH Cheese Crafting Mod, Dwarven crafters can use the kitchen workshop to craft furniture from any cheese you have in your pantry. Cheese chairs, cheese tables, even masterpiece cheese statues - the kind you might find at the Wisconsin State Fair.

In addition, there are many other interesting things. There are Dwarf Fortress mods for playable orc and kobold civilizations, trainable war possums, and even a total makeover mod called Vvardenfell which brings Dwarf Fortress into the Elder Scrolls universe.
