I'm pretty new to modding and I don't know how to make most of it. So I came here with the intention to learn more about modding while have a blast in a silly DF game.



I want to make a fortress where I can build walls, floors, weapons, armor, almost everything out of soap.



I thought I could add a reaction to transform cheese into cheese boulder and cheese logs to make the construction, furniture, craft, etc. Am I correct?



For the weapons and armors, I heard that when you mod in material that were not metal, stone, wood or bone you get a material with max stats in everything. So I might just mod in cheese bar with iron-like stats and "super-cheese"(temp name) with steel-like stats.



I also want to add a new creature, Cheese Golem, made of the cheese boulder material.





I don't know how to do any of those, so I made this list with the hope that it covers most of DF basic modding.

If anyone can help me set this up so I can study how and why it works I'd be really grateful.
