'''MOST IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MODDING!''' - With the way the "new" Dwarf Fortress is, when you are modding the easiest thing to do is just to generate a new world. This new version saves raw and graphic information IN the SAVE->(REGION1) folder.

If you add a smelting reaction, you have to add the reaction to the "reaction_smelter.txt", you then have to make your reaction permitted on the "entity_default.txt". When you add a reaction to the "entity_default.txt" it will be under the [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] listing. Your permitted reaction should look like...
 +
[PERMITTED_REACTION:XXXCUSTOM_REACTION_NAMEXXX]

When you add your custom building to the "entity_default.txt" it should look something like... [PERMITTED_BUILDING:XXXCUSTOM_BUILDING_NAMEXXX]
 +
YOU WILL CHANGE "XXXCUSTOM_REACTION_NAMEXXX" and "XXXCUSTOM_BUILDING_NAMEXXX" TO WHATEVER YOU HAVE IT LISTED AS.
