Now I have no idea about modding in new plants, but I would like some help anyway. I want to create some new above ground plants like Corn, Wheat, Tomato, Okra, Cabbage, etc. I want them to be purchasable from embark and have them be able to be made into foods and such. I want to play an above ground, farming community and these would make it way more fun. Any suggestions on how to do these properly?

If you'd like some example code here's my variation of corn I'm using in my up-and-coming mod. Feel free to play around with it a bit.

[MATGLOSS_PLANT:CORN]
[TILE:159][COLOR:6:0:1]
[NAME:ear of corn][NAME_PLURAL:ears of corn]
[GROWDUR:320][VALUE:2]
[DRINK:corn based bourbon:6:0:0]
[DRINKVALUE:2]
[EXTRACT:corn oil:6:0:0]
[EXTRACTVALUE:25]
[EXTRACT_BARREL]
[EXTRACT_COOKABLE]
[MILL:corn flour:6:0:1]
[MILL_VALUE:20]
[COOKABLE_WHEN_MILLED]
[SEEDNAME:corn kernel][SEED:6:0:1]
[GENPOWER:2]

[CLUSTERSIZE:5]
[EDIBLE_VERMIN]
[EDIBLE_RAW]
[DRY][BIOME_NOT_FREEZING]
[PREFSTRING:lush green stalks]
[PREFSTRING:versatility]

If you have any questions as to what the particular variables do go ahead and ask.

Awesome. I will play around with this and see if I can get the other plants I am aiming for if you don't mind me using it for personal play.

I'm pretty sure only underground plants are available to dwarves on embark.

You may use it for whatever you'd like. Neoskel is right. Unless you add the [OUTDOOR_FARMING] tag to the dwarves in the entities file you will not be able to select your new plants upon embark. You will however be able to gather them outside as long as your plant has a biome as well as a frequency and clustersize tag.

It's easy enough to meddle the tags.

Besides, as long as the plant doesn't have any errors then it will show up in trade wagons and the like, as raw plants, booze, seeds and anything else made out of it. I've seen a lot of people wearing iron weed items since I got it working.
