Is it possible to generate a embark with all three caverns, lava bottom and maybe 10-15 z-levels total?

[Corneria]

Change some world gen parameters.

Z Levels Above Ground
Z Levels Above Layer X
Z Levels At Bottom

Obviously pick a flat area. Unless for some reason you really want all 3 layers, lower Cavern Layer Number. You can get cut down total Z-levels a lot, but I'm not sure 10 will work.

There is no real advantage to more than 1 cavern layer, when you only have a single cavern layer you get nethercaps at cavern level 1, and I think just about everything else you can get from 3 layers as well, it is the biggest way to shave down z-levels as well.

here's a world gen for shallow worlds (~20-40 z levels on entire map) with lots of rivers
