How can I allow travel through the goblin pits in my current world?
Also how can I allow my race to read and write and make dance forms, songs, the such.

How can I allow travel through the goblin pits in my current world?

To answer the first question - you cant.

The second, in their entity file, add
[GENERATE_POETIC_FORMS]
[GENERATE_MUSICAL_FORMS]
[GENERATE_DANCE_FORMS]
I don't think you need to add anything regarding reading as long as you have an actual civilization.

I've never done an entity file 
Is there a way to make sure they don't make a civ fort? Cause that just annihilate the world

Not sure what you mean - if you don't want them to live in fortresses then just copy over the human entity file and set your race up properly with it and make whatever other changes you want to. Aside from forts (CAVE_DETAILED in the entity file) you also have human towns (CITY), dark pits/fortresses (DARK_FORTRESS) and elven forest retreats (TREE_CITY), also caves (CAVE) but those don't make any other sites and you can't travel through caves either.

What i mean is that I want them to be an adventure race. And second its powerful enough any siege or war it does it would win.

So what I mean is, is there a way to reduce the chance of getting a fort/civ site to such a small chance that it's nearly inexistent?

[ZM5]

Not really - closest you can do is limit the maximum population sizes.
The tokens are:
[MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER:X]
   [MAX_POP_NUMBER:X]
   [MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER:X]
You can also add [OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE], [LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE] and [LOCAL_POPS_PRODUCE_HEROES] as well as the requisite tokens for making them a wild race that can join civilization, but then they wont have their own dance forms and such, only those based off of whatever civ they join.

I'm on to Weapons/Armor adjustments now.  The wiki has a good explanation of Impact & Shear.  However, I see other modifiers that I can't find an explanation for; Compressive, Tensile, Torsion, and Bending.  Any info on these is appreciated.

I do believe that some of those like bending are unimplemented currently

When you're working on plants, will the game let you define multiple [PREFSTRING] tokens? Or will it only use the first one? Obviously this is just a flavor thing, but I would love to add the extra little details into what I'm working on.

[Baffler]

There may be an upper limit I'm not aware of, but I know you can do at least two.

Good to know   Which leads me to my next question.  The values list here; http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Metal#Weapon_and_armor_quality remain fairly close to the current raw (inorganic_metal).  The wiki states that for Impact Yield & Fracture, higher is better.  However, Candy has the highest value of all, and is the worst Blunt Weapon metal around.  What about Candy makes it terrible for Blunt while having the highest Impact numbers?

Density. It has very little.

Besides, you really don't need to call it by its "spoiler-free" name since it's not that big of a deal anyway.

[Immortal-D]

Oh Density, duh.  Also 'Candy' is force of habit

Finally, FINALLY, FINALLY found out why my reactions were missing. [BUILDING:<BUILDING NAME>:<BUILDING KEY>] was missing the "<BUILDING KEY>" part. I swear when I noticed I spent about three minutes just staring in disbelief at my own imbecility.

Compressive force happens by strangulation (doesn't really matter, but it's there), tensile by the "shaking around" once you latch on to someone with your teeth, torsion if your "teeth" are blunt instead of edged and bending is what hurts a limb when you wring it in a joint lock. You read the material definition token list, right?
