Back when I first played DF, I mistook red sand for lakes of magma.

I was severely disappointed.

[GFXiNXS]

I made a thread a while back with a bunch of gens I came up with that satisfied the majority of my needs at the time. Though none of these contain sedimentary layers, they have everything else. World gen parameters are included. See http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=25700.0

[Dragooble]

those are pretty awesome.
if i do say so myself. 

[Axe27]

Personally I'd want sand that isn't red

The one thing I never get...

I always mistake red sand for magma in screenshots so...

"DUDE WTF YOUR DWARVES ARE STANDING ON LAVA!!!!"

And then I realize that I'm a fucking idiot for putting that up and not realizing that it's sand.

[Magua]

3x3 area with pit, HFS, magma pipe, black sand, cave river (and cave pool, though I didn't go looking for that) and no aquifer.  Took awhile to find that one.  There's a very long thread on worldgen parameters in this forum that may help you find what you're looking for.

Pray tell, what are the values for finding this awesome area?

ugg... red sand... never embark with both red and white sand. just don't. the results are terible. sure, the checkerboard was neat, but i thought it was marble or limestone with tons of dying racoons. i never embark with sand at all anymore. that was also the first place i had with magma, and i kept confusing myself over that, too.

[Hawklaser]

I found one that is really nice, just lacking sand, plentiful trees, and a source of bauxite. Has rhyolite, felsite,gabbro,marble, gnesis, granite, basalt, andesite and 2 soil layers. All in a 4x4 area.
Here is the picture of what I used in the finder to locate the site.

Here is the World Gen info. Note, will get a rejection for too many regions, allow it, and this world shows up.

i tried this but the details were off...i though it was suppose to be exactly the same?

[darknight]

How about magma, bottomless pit, underground river, sand, trees, flux, iron, tamable wildlife, and undead creatures all on a fairly flat map in a 3 by 3 area? But no HFS. You could even get it all in a 2 by 3 area, but would give up a lot of the iron ore.

I just posted about it on the world gen thread yesterday.The zombie and skeletal elephants are fun!

[Magua]

What do you mean by "the details were off"?  It should be spot on, assuming that you're using 40d.  It was genned with no changes to the raws or anything.

[Micro102]

i copied it excatly, it looked the same, but as the map zoomed in it changed more and more. on the most zoomed in it didnt have the same symbols.

[Magua]

Screenshot?

Does the site finder still find that area if you set its params to 3x3, no aquifer, flux, magma pipe, underground river, HFS?

[userpay]

I've got an excellent world to use. Its got a magma pool, underground river, underground pool, HFS, lots and lots of iron, buaxite, plenty of wood, and very big sieges, all in a very very high mountain. In other words the perfect place. Give me a few minutes while I find the community fort thread I made for it which has a link to the save file, no need to regen something that might have something slightly off.

edit
Heres the thread: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=24229.0
Heres the save in particular (refer to thread for location): http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=514
The civ I used was the Elder Mechanisms and I was decking out just about everything in steel.

edit edit
Heres a map of the place sometime before I stopped playing DF a few months ago, might finish later (I am playing again but not on this map), as an example of the place.

i dont feel like doing all that work. just tell me this. are the codes you set the only way to set a map? if i change the rate volcanoes appear, or the amount of evil on maps, will that change the landscape as well?

note i didnt do that for this map, but i have for others, though not small....do these changes effect all maps?

[Magua]

Yes, all those may affect the map.  That's why I posted the world_gen.txt file in its entirety.
