If you're the type of gamer that gets sucked into Rimworld, then Dwarf Fortress will very likely consume you.
Many people misunderstand. It's not that Orange Cats have a single braincell. It's that all orange cats on the planet share a single braincell among them. At any given moment only one orange cat may be using the braincell.
AFAIK it ends up on the ground, and in the ground water. Which means that it could contaminate drinking water if it's not treated properly. It will enter rivers and lakes, and snow and everywhere else that water gets.
