Seeking a little advice getting started

[panggul_mas]

I'm making my way through the wiki tutorials but would appreciate a bit of advice on how to get started creating a mod that does the following two things:

-push a few buildings, which are currently available at the beginning (power plants, air conditioners, etc) behind a research prerequisite.

-create 2-3 new crafting tables modeled after existing ones with slightly modified stats.

Thanks!

Easiest way is download a mod that has a few building additions and jump in. All that can be done just within the xml's so you don't even need coding knowledge.
