Just occurred to me a couple of days ago:

1) Go into your raws, and find "inorganic_stone_layer" and also _gem and _mineral text files
2) Swap all instances of SEDIMENTARY in tags with IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE. A find-replace is helpful, though you will need a 3rd placeholder name to do so (all A > C, then B > A, then C > B).
3) Go embark on places with volcanoes and have fun. All the rock immediately around them will be sedimentary, iron/coal/flux-rich rock layers.

And if you're worried about realism, it isn't even really any less realistic. Actual caldera volcanoes would have a bunch of sandwiched sedimentary + igeous extrusive layers, because eruption -> sits for awhile building sediment -> eruption -> sits for awhile -> eruption...  And coal and stuff might very well be there too, since plenty of plants grow on the slopes of volcanoes. So neither one or the other alone is particularly less realistic than the other.

(The REST of your world won't make any realistic sense, but if you always like to play on volcano sites, what do you care?)

Have you ever tried manually replacing an entire map's layers, veins, and gem cluster individually? Would take like a good 2 hours with dfhack using the only tools I know about for doing it. And for RAWs, this IS a raw editing cheat suggestion =)
