Quickly locating volcanos
« on: July 12, 2011, 12:04:18 pm »

Hi all. Been lurking for a while, but this would be my first post here.

Is there a quick way of finding volcanos?

Cheers

Go to advanced parameters and up the minimum volcano number to 20.

Don't go higher than 30, it just doesn't work right.

P.S.  Under the default tileset, volcanos are red ^'s

if you mean, finding an embark with volcano... theres no way other than manually searching through entire world. they are red "^" marks. sometimes big volcano clusters are seen even on world map.
You can increase volcano numbers when generating a new world with advanced parameters. i usually increase it to 100 or 150. and it works just fine with those numbers

Thanks! I was hoping to not have to go through world-gen again, but whatever.

No you can set the minimum to 100... It might take 20-50 tries before it's done.
