Harder than it sounds. I've gone through about 10 worlds so far.

What I'm looking for is a volcano and ocean within a 3x3 or 4x4 local area of eachother and contact with other civs. Ideally it's on a peninsula so there's limited access from one side. Such a map would be epic but sadly my worldgen tweaking skills are not up to the challenge. Anyone have tips or care to give it a go?

[LordSlowpoke]

No, it wouldn't be epic.
The volcano would cave-in under itself and cave-in under the last cave-in and you'd get over 9000 caveins and three days worth of "you have struck nobodycaresite" before anything would work.
Ocean + volcano + dwarven physics = earthrape.

But such is the beuty of dwarf fortress!

Would this be specific to volcanos near oceans? I've tried maps with volcanos and oceans where there was a cave-in but no other issues after that. The problem was the areas were just too large and meant slow framerate.

[Max White]

If I knew anything about worldgen parameters I would help you to the bitter end, but so far it is a subject that I have been too lazy to figure out.

I should probly read up on that.

Sir, I got a cave-in that pierced

Hell itself,

and it wasn't really that fun having them pop out and kill my dorfs in middle of a cavein.
By that I mean: not as fun as expected.

Aww, did something bad happen and now your paranoid about cave ins? Poor human.

would a volcano by a beach on a glacier work?

Perhaps, that could be pretty cool.

the fort is near the top.

here's what the place looks like: http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-8422-worktrue

just search near the top for the volcano

How exactly does farming on a glacier work?

I am asking this as I am thinking of embarking on that spot...

it's harder, but the concept is the same

get water, somehow, and irrigate.

[ISGC]

you can custom gen a world with obscene amounts of volcanos, max is either 400 or 100, but regardless.  I believe the catagory is just "min volcanos" or something, DO NOT touch volcanism, I have no idea what that does.
then you can change the amount of ocean space, too.  then put demon types and titans to the max just for extra fun!

[userpay]

I'm trying to get a volcano next to sedementary layers (preferably flux) but thats rather difficult. Still relativly happy with the spot I've got, no coal but plenty of trees.
