Summary	0013214: Mods are not working after world generation
Description	I tried to use some mods recently and I found that they are just not working even if I create new world with the mods enabled. First of all I noticed that when I subscribe to a mode and I run the game - there are no "Mods" menu. After some pocking around I noticed that on my machine steam mods are in different location then game is, so I just made a soft link mod directory as `data/installed_mods` in game directory. After that the "Mods" menu appeared. However, when I try to generate new world with the mods, despite I clearly observe the mods were loaded during world generation and new game start - I do not see any features provided by mods in the game itself. I tried to look in the internet, but I found only cases when people just didn't select the mods during world generation, what is not the case here. I guess there is some wrong with Steam version I use or with fact that I am playing on linux, IDK Steam version is 1751405894
Steps To Reproduce	1. add some mods via steam workshop subscription 2. create new world while selecting mods to be present 3. run the game in fortress mode for newly created world 4. observe that no features provided by mods are available
