 Modding refers to modifying the files dwarf fortress (or, indeed, any other game) to change some element of game play, usually by a 
third-party developer or the end user. In Dwarf Fortress, this usually refers to changes to the so-called 'raws', the game files
that describe a wide range of elements, from what plants an be milled, to what kinds of rock exist, to how empires are formed.


Most editing involves adding or removing 'Tokens' from the raw files. The Tokens are the actual parameters for each item.
