I'm not sure how to make any number of volcanoes, much less modify how many there are.

Gives you three volcanoes, but that just means it is rejected if there are fewer than 3.

Volcanism

Volcanism controls the occurrence of Igneous Layers, and the formation of volcanoes. For a volcano to form, a square must have a volcanism value of 100 so reducing the maximum from 100 will make volcanoes impossible. Raising the minimum will increase the rarity of non-igneous layers.

Setting minimum to high value is not a good way to produce multiple volcanoes as you are likely to get a "Volcanism not evenly distributed" rejection. Instead use the Minimum Number of Volcanoes parameter and possibly adjust the weighted ranges for volcanism as described below.

[VOLCANISM_FREQUENCY:<mesh>:<0-20 weight>:<20-40 weight>:<40-60 weight>:<60-80 weight>:<80-100 weight>]
Valid mesh values:

1 = Ignore
2 = 2x2
3 = 4x4
4 = 8x8
5 = 16x16
6 = 32x32
(limited by world size)

[VOLCANISM_RANGES:<low sq>:<mid sq>:<high sq>]
Minimum number of squares that must have low, medium, and high amounts of the given attribute.

0 = No minimum

Are the numbers you need to play around with.

[smeeprocket]

this is giving me lots of errors, double the errors if I mimic the numbers for savagery

I've played around with it, and I'm not being particularly successful at what I need. My map is 16x16 if that matters any

[ptb_ptb]

My map is 16x16 if that matters any

It matters a lot.

The '[_RANGES]' figures are for minimum number of squares. My worldgen was for 65x65.  There are a lot more squares in 65x65 than in 17x17. You'd need completely different numbers in those sections.

[smeeprocket]

I checked the wiki file. Even used the sample numbers. I'm not sure what ranges work for a 16x16 world.

[smeeprocket]

yea I've been dropping the numbers drastically and am still getting errors consistently. (in response to your edit)

[ptb_ptb]

Try something like

 [VOLCANISM_RANGES:36:36:72]

if that doesn't work go gradually from there towards

 [VOLCANISM_RANGES:36:72:36]

Let me know how it works out.

OH! And you should probably set
[VOLCANO_MIN:1]
not 3.

[smeeprocket]

oh I'm getting 3 volcanoes np, let me punch that in.

[smeeprocket]

omg it worked, I had to exit out of it to get the world gen changes to take effect. Now to play with the numbers.

[rmblr]

I would love a beautiful canyon with waterfalls like this fantastic map. Does anyone know of anything similar for DF2014?

A good place to look for waterfalls is where two rivers meet or a river meets a lake.

This one is similar.  There are more results, search "This topic" for waterfall river and you'll see more results.

This one was one of my favorites of yours: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140180.msg5631823#msg5631823

The big totally straight totally sheer cliff with the little creek up top waiting for me to carve channels and waterfalls down the side of the fort I dug into the cliff face.

[taro8]

EDIT: Got around the problem with placing other beast phase. Right now my gen works, but it genning the history SLOWLY, why is that?

I want a patchwork pocket world for to adventure in with lots of secrets, legends and beasts to kill. Preferable a dying civilisation stage. In short kinda like Dark Souls.

The slowness is likely due to 10,000 years of history and no culling.  When you enable culling, it will speed up a bit, but if you reduce the history to 1000 years or less, it should be reasonably quick.  100 years is very quick.
