Help! It doesn't work!
It does as long as no other mod you probably subscribed to does overwrite/replace vanilla files. If so, put it last in the load order (at the bottom). Even if you don't have other mods it might be a good idea to place the mod at the bottom of the load order.

Does the loard order matter?
Not if you don't have other mods or the mods don't change vanilla files. But the mod requires to be loaded after certain vanilla files which will be pointed out by the game then you add the mod to the load order. Otherwise see above.

I use mod xyz which replaces a vanilla file and now this mod doesn't work!
Nothing I can do, sorry. Also, see above.

There is not everything available to create from the list above!
If something is missing check if you removed the old mod version from \Dwarf Fortress\data\installed_mods and generate a new world adding the latest mod version. Updating a generated world will, most likely, not work.

The mod got updated and now something is strange or not working!
See above.

I want to update the mod for in a running game/already generated world
Updating in general is never a good idea due to how saving works. See Common Question: When do I need to generate a new world?[www.bay12forums.com].

Assuming you want to update a existing save/world to the newest version this is not going to work. Skip the update.

Assuming you start a new game/world (and only then!) delete the folder in data\installed_mods\creationforge (5001xx), where xx are the last two digits from the version number ie. 19, before generating a new world.

Check if the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\mods\2898393468 (5001xx) exists. If not, re-subscribe. Start a new game and add the mod to the load order. It then will be "installed" to the game world (shows up in data\installed_mods\creationforge (5001xx) ).

How to build?
Hotkey b - o - Creation Forge

Can you add skulls, bones, tusks, gauntlets, gloves, mittens etc.?
No. Either we lack the necessary token or the reaction is bugged and will not produce usable items.

Where did you get the information to make this mod?
Cheating[www.dwarffortresswiki.org]
Shaostoul's Guide[www.dwarffortresswiki.org]
Reaction[dwarffortresswiki.org]
Item token[dwarffortresswiki.org]

Of course the official forums[www.bay12forums.com]. Go to the child board DF Modding.

Recommend using the DF Raw Language Server[gitlab.com].

How do I make this mod work with other mods which adds playable races?

Basically, in the file entity_patch_creationforge.txt duplicate everything below [SELECT_ENTITY:MOUNTAIN], starting at line 6, and replace MOUNTAIN with the race token of the race, the mod should work with, ie. [SELECT_ENTITY:FOREST] for elves, [SELECT_ENTITY:PLAINS] for humans or [SELECT_ENTITY:EVIL] for goblins. Generate a new world. Put the mod at the bottom of the load order.

A more detailed explanation is in the post How to do it is explained in the post How to make the mod compatible with xyz.

List of raws which can be generated
Spoilable products go into containers (create them first). Most items support bulk creation. Dragon scale may be used as leather. It is possible to train skills (single or all of a group together at the same time). Magma in minecart can be emptied at a track stop. Reactions will state their colorization (wood, stone).

Known bugs: Currently gloves creation is disabled. Dragon scale armor is not recognized as leather uniform for militia.

Note that the list does not accurately reflect the organisation of the (sub)menues in the game and might be not complete.

List is not updated for newer versions.
