Bay 12 Games 和发行商 Kitfox 宣布，由于游戏的成功，他们已经从《矮人要塞》Mod 社区聘请了游戏的第二位程序员。
Mod 制作者 Putnam 目前已经成为《矮人要塞》团队的全职程序员，他是Tarn Adams 和 Zach Adams 兄弟后团队的第三位成员。Tarn 此前一直都负责所有的编程工作，而 Zach 则担任该项目的制作人，并和 Tarn 一起设计游戏功能。
Putnam 因其对游戏 Mod 的贡献在玩家社区中有着不小的名气，他曾创建过能够将现实中的材料加入游戏中的脚本工具 DFHack，还为游戏的维基做出了巨大贡献。Putnam 还因其将《矮人要塞》转化为《龙珠Z》和《Homestuck》世界而闻名。
After 20-some years of working as a solo programmer, Dwarf Fortress (opens in new tab) developer Tarn Adams will have a second pair of hands in there. Bay 12 Games and publisher Kitfox have announced that due to Dwarf Fortress' success a second programmer has been hired from the longstanding Dwarf Fortress modding community. Modder Putnam has been hired has a full-time programmer for Dwarf Fortress, making Putnam the third member of the DF team following brothers Tarn and Zach Adams. Tarn has historically done all the programming, while Zach serves as a producer for the project and designs game features alongside his brother. "This is a historic moment, as never before have non-Adams eyes seen the Dwarf Fortress code," noted Kitfox. Putnam is known among the Dwarf Fortress community for his contributions to modding, like a tool that converts real-world materials into Dwarf Fortress and scripts for popular mod DFHack, and is a name I'm at least familiar with from long hours perusing the Dwarf Fortress Wiki. Putnam is also known for their work on mods converting Dwarf Fortress into worlds like Dragonball Z and Homestuck. In addition to Putnam, Kitfox has brought on streaming creator SalfordSal to join their community team. She'll be hosting streams on the Kitfox Twitch channel and helping out with the community Discord. Alongside the announcement, Dwarf Fortress released its classic mode for the premium Steam release, which shows the game in its old-school ASCII glyph glory. Delightful. As always, the original edition of the game is free on Bay 12 Games' website, while the Steam release is $30—though the classic branch hasn't yet updated with the new user interface. Bay 12 says that's on the way soon. You can read the full announcement on Steam. (opens in new tab) Our fortunes rise and fall together.
