Dwarf Chocolate is an expansion mod designed to add a large amount of content while preserving the feel of the unmodded game.

Installation: Extract the .zip file to a fresh Dwarf Fortress folder. Overwrite the pre-existing files.

Uninstalling: Dwarf Chocolate overwrites vanilla files, and uninstalling requires re-installing DF raws.
This is why a separate folder is recommended, but changes to vanilla files are listed in
Dwarf Chocolate Changes.txt.

Dwarf Chocolate adds many new creatures, plants, tools and materials drawn from real-life and/or mythology, and is a mod suited for advanced Dwarf Fortress players, as the changes add challenge as well as opportunity.
