I read somewhere on the forums that, if I want a world that has lots of volcanoes, to set volcanism to 30-100 and minimum volcanoes to 200 (max-size map), but this just spams rejects until I get irritated.

Does anyone here know a way to generate a world that's more likely to have my perfect site?

River, Underground River or Pool, magma vent (preferably a volcano), sand, chasm or (preferably) bottomless pit, Fun Stuff, lots of trees, flux, and high cliffs

As for the high cliffs I like, that's actually pretty easy in the advanced map generation parameters.  Set "Periodically Erode Extreme Cliffs" to no.  I've seen a lot of people talk about how it's impossible, but this gives me some nice cliffs.

Reset the volcanism to 0-100.

Go to the 'weighted mesh ranges' for volcanism, and turn up the weight on high volcanism tiles.

If that still doesn't work, then also turn up the weight for high elevation tiles.

Don't forget to turn off the minimum limits on low vulcanism regions, that lower limit is places of 33 and under and most likely what is causing all your rejects

Cool, thanks.  I'll take a shot at this.

Also, if you do manage to find a site with all that stuff (it seems you want...everything) be sure to post it online. Because it is incredibly rare. You will probably need a large embark area. Sand, flux, magma, water, and trees in the same place is quite rare itself even without the other features you're looking for. When you gen your world try upping the # of river start locations pre and post erosion, turning up the high drainage weights (for sand) and increasing the number of mountain and forest biomes (while reducing grasslands or some other garbage). That should give you a good shot a finding something.

I should point out that the Dwarf Heaven site has all this.

Might I direct you to?

Every feature except a magma pool. It has sand, flux, HFS, bottomless pit, chasm, river, underground river, underground pool, magma pipe, plenty of trees, plenty of gold ore, and an aquifier. Also, there is an extremely large range of z-levels to play around in, but you'd have to engineer your own  sheer cliff faces.
