Is there a utility out there that can trigger your ability to build magma workshops?

Dig a hole and then use DFhack to spawn magma in it?
I think DFHack has a tool for that, anyways.

I was reading that if you spawn magma somewhere you need to wall it in and then use DF unreveal that comes with df hack. Then just remove the walls and the message should appear. Not sure if it works because I never tried it.

It is not enough to simply dig through a wall and find magma on the other side - the magma workshops are only enabled upon discovering an appropriate map feature, namely a Volcano or the Magma Sea.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
