how to find volcanoes
« on: September 15, 2010, 08:31:06 am »
Hello evryone , I am a new DF fan and after watching tons of tutorials and 2 experimental fortresses i decided i'd like to make a fortress next to a volcano.

But... I cant find one   :-[

The "search for desired location" on the wiki has the option to look for volcanoes but i do not have such an option?!

Is there an easier way to find a volcano then manually check the entire world for one?

They're fairly easy to spot. A ^ on the regional map means a volcano.

If you are close to one during the selection of the embark destination the volcanoe will also be listed on the right where brooks etc are listed (if close).

To be exact, if you are in the same middle-map (this is just screaming for a better word, but hey, i'm a noob 8) )tile.

Hi!

Also note that the default number of volcanoes is relatively low, so they are rare by default.
I suggest you make a custom world with volcanoes set to maximum (that should be 200). Also set variance for volcanism to maximum to allow them to sprout in many different places. That should allow you to find just the volcano you are looking for.
