Legendary Cheesemakers.

Nah, they can be trained into Legendary Hammerdwarves with some time (or a danger room). They can also be dropped 30 z-levels into your dining room to desensitize the population to death.

But who's going to keep up with my legendary milker?

Water. It's so bloody useless.

Delicious ☼cat meat roast [15]☼ says otherwise. Also, they're the easiest way to keep your fort clean of vermin.

Admittedly, I did mod out [ADOPTS_OWNER] the second the previous cat tag was split up.

Cheesemakers make good haulers. I also adopted a habbit of enabling many jobs, like furnance operating, cheesemaking, butchery, tanning, masonry (requires setting masonry workshop profiles to Proficient+ skill), and others. This makes a responsive task force.

So many cheese haters in this thread.

Who else then dwarves can fully appreciate the wonders of cheese?
Elves? They probably respect animals to much to milk them.
Humans? Not the patience for the precise process required.

Truly the dwarf was meant for cheesemaking in all it's industrious precision.

The Mayor.

He probably drags down your fortress' worth by demanding that you waste time, materials and effort on pointless mandates.

Captured goblin thieves. You can't even toss them off a cliff because they somehow escape in midair.

Also, your avatar is strange. Adlike. It IS an ad, actually. And a suspicious one at that.

Tis based on forum history.  One of our regular members tried to share a site with some cool deals and got flamed for being a spambot.  The avatar is a word for word copy of the OP.  I think the thread got deleted after it turned into the usual flamefest.

I think it's interesting that for any item people bring up, others can find some kind of refutation for it.
Agreed; probably has Significant Implications regarding human psychology. AFAIK, there are two good reasons. First, the ever-popular "every man's trash is another man's treasure", subjective value, etc. Second, there is no are few things that are actually seriously worthless; vendor trash can be turned into dwarfbux into useful stuff, vermin can be trapped for food and trade, water can be drunk in emergencies, cheesemakers can be turned into more useful haulers, anything can be turned to a profit with cunning and determination, the question becomes what's most useless.

Stolen elven wooden crafts. You can't trade them, you can't use them, all you can do is burn them.

They are truly worthless.

You could use them as fuel with the Bonfire Mod.

You can trade them to humans or dwarves no trouble btw.
