I embarked on a volcano.

It had no magma in it. At all. (Unless you count the magma sea-but give me a moment.)

I looked down, down, down underground to see if there was any magma lower down. There wasn't, but there were all three cavern layers exposed and visible, plus the magma sea at the bottom. Which was evidently too much for my old computer; I had to abandon after a while, once the critters started spawning.

What? I was under the impression that magma pipes were supposed to mean magma at the surface, not clear sight to magma deep underground...

I assume that you disabled the HFS?

Not that I'm aware of.
I didn't see that far down, though-it seems the "volcano" "ended" in the magma sea.

I had the same question, you must have HFS off (bottom layer), having the magma layer on doesn't fix it, turn HFS on and gen a new world. (To turn it back on, go into the seed you used and find the bottom layer, its with the other layers, and turn it on.)

EDIT: Oh, and you'll be able to tell if its off by:
No HFS
No magma in volcanoes
No cotton candy

Now that you mention it...Huh, I didn't think that that would drain volcanoes.
I revise my earlier statement.

So, just to clarify, no clowns means no cotton candy?

No tent means no treats.

i had a dream about embarking on one of the old style magma vents from 40d, where the top level was flat instead of a mountain.  All was peachy up until the end of the first year, at which point the volcano began violently erupting every month, spewing enormous amounts of smoke into the air and lava on the surface.  My magma forges were fine, and i sort of considered torching the surface level a cool bonus, but after every eruption, the magma level in the vent would return to a lower level. After a whole year of eruptions, the vent was completely empty.  At that point, the magma sea rose, eating away through stone layers like smr.  The effect was that the whole world sunk into the magma once the volcano emptied itself.  Everything died.  It was a scary dream.
