Am I able to just rewrite the creature_standard, reaction_smelter and entity_default files or do I have to make manual changes?
Also, what tags would need to be added/removed from a race to increase the number of offspring?
And is it possible to decrease pregnancy time?

[LITTERSIZE:a:b]

a - minimum #
b - maximum #

if that what you're looking for

Well, there's the [LITTERSIZE:X:Y] tag, and the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag.
is there a [MULTIPLE_LITTER_COMMON] tag?
this is to strengthen goblin numbers.
so boring when none of them attack you ever.
also,

If "rewriting" means "rewrite from scratch", then you can certainly do that, but you'll have a lot of work ahead of you. If you want to add new stuff, just use existing stuff as a template to make sure you don't miss anything important. If you want to delete old stuff, go ahead, but make sure you don't remove too much or the game might not like it.

You can remove everything you want but make sure you create something to fill the niche. I.e. there should be some creatures and plants in biomes, as well as common stuff like shields, spears and cutting edge daggers for adventurer mode equipment (and there should be bushes with leaves, at least one type; in previous versions the lack of those caused crashes).

rewriting meaning copying the raws from 31.12 over to 31.14
because moving the inorganic that slade is in will make it mineable, and I'm not sure if/how other raws have been modified

[Zaerosz]

I'm pretty sure that's the only change Toady made to the raws in between .12 and .14.

now for the less interesting question: what is the default speed for dwarfs? 1000?

[Emily]

No, the biomes for Goblins have changed in .13.  So entity_default has changed, though you could overwrite it.

You can usually look at the modified dates of the raw files when you download a new version; if they're earlier than the release date of the previous version then you can be confident nothing's changed in them.
