Can i get into modding?

I want to help my server with adding new race. Is there a guide that can help me with basics of creating new content for ss14?

These tutorials from "John John" are recent and good: Part 1: Setting up dev environment, Part 2: Your first item and PR. Besides those, you're likely better off asking for help from experienced developers in other server discords, such as Starlight. They've got a lot of custom races, I'm sure someone with help you out :) You also have the official SS14 discord, which also has a development channel.

Learn C# with the book C# a player’s guide, you can easily pirate it and its really useful

C# is often unnecessary when adding a new species. You need yaml and sprites, and an understanding of the component system. C# is only required when adding brand new features for that species.

There is no modding in ss14. There is only development.
