Volcanoes are one-embark-tile features, meaning that they can be surrounded by any [[biome]]. On the Region embark map, they are represented as a red caret ({{Tile|^|4:0:1}}), the same symbol as a [[trap|weapon trap]] in-game. On the Local embark map they are represented as two tildes ({{Tile|≈|4:0:0}}), the same symbol that represents magma in-game. On a standard world map, there will generally be only a few volcanoes. | Volcanoes are one-embark-tile features, meaning that they can be surrounded by any [[biome]].

Volcanoes tend to appear in mountainous [[Igneous extrusive layer|igneous extrusive]] biomes, which means you may be hard pressed to find [[flux]], [[coal]] or [[wood]]. You won't need it for fuel, but you will still need it for steel making. If you don't feel like searching hundreds of worlds for a volcano next to [[Sedimentary layer|sedimentary stone]] or in a forest, your best bet may be to breach the first cavern for wood (or make tree farms underground once the caverns are opened up), or trade for wood, processed coke or charcoal. | Volcanoes tend to appear in mountainous [[Igneous extrusive layer|igneous extrusive]] biomes, which means you may be hard pressed to find [[flux]], [[coal]] or [[wood]].
