Yep, I want to make a volcano erupt.

I don't know how to do it.  Any tips?

[KtosoX]

In the current release, that is impossible. But you can build your own erupting volcano. There was a thread about it somewhere...

Edit: found it http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=67905.0

Srsly, use the search function next time bro

No I'm not talking about that, I've seen that thread and I've done that a few times for giggles.

I'm talking about the best way to get magma to flow out and spread around (probably only part of) the map without pumps, which likely means digging into the side.  This would be useful for decoration (build magma channels that end off the map for it) or constant-flow magma moats, as opposed to drowning the map in molten rock.

Depends on your style for building imposing volcanic death fortresses: you could have an artificial look with building magmaducts out of stone blocks going down the sides of the tube, or you could just channel your own natural looking magma rivers by digging. Just do all the building/carving out beforehand and then dig out the sides of the 'cano and cackle as the lava flows into the patterns you've prefabbed.

I'd recommend doing both. Make a magma-slide park, goblin admittance only.

A goblin magma slide park is a great idea.
