DF Modding / Re: What do I need to know about modding to do this stuff?

for the guns, its quite impossible to do any sort of complex process like, pouring gunpowder in, gun cotton, ammo, cotton again.
due to the way ranged weapons work, shooting pre-made projectiles like modern bullets is just simply.. simpler, and doable.
Acids, I'd reccomend checking out Syndromes and Extracts.
etching would not be possible unless each etching was exactly the same. (Frosted glass for example) we simply cant add more arts yet.
if you wanted your dwarves to write stories, you should know that you cannot add new items to engrave things with, so inks wouldnt work unless you botched a workaround using something else.
but most of all the most important thing to know about modding these things, is that two out of three of these would have been answered using the "Search" function.
