So I am very new to modding but it sounds like a good way to spice up game play but I can barely figure out how to even do simple stuff like speed up my dorfs

Is there a quickstart guide to modding or something?

I'd start here: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Modding_guide

Thank you that will help alot

Just as an aside, speeding up your dwarves is harder than it used to be, assuming you mean stuff like making them work faster. You can make then run faster easily thanks to the new GAIT tokens though. In Ye Olden Days, there was a simple SPEED: token that changed movement speed AND action speed.

this may explain why that didnt work for me .-.

I'll also share some advice I've learned the hard way today.

When you're porting a Dwarf Fortress mod after an update, always edit the new raw files to recreate the mod's content from scratch. Copying old modded raw files is a good way to break things. That goes double for the material_template_default file.

Porting the OldGenesis mod (by Deon & me) from 2012 DF to 2014 DF took me 21-27 hours! So many animals and plants that are not in vanilla.
