I could supply you with an embark that has:

Volcano
Flux (Chalk layers)
Iron (lots!)
Bitum Coal
Gold
Garnierite
Galena
Aluminium
some form of copper
Huge amount of trees
Brook
Freezes in winter
Soil (though I dont remenber if it has sand)
All civs (Including war with goblins from one or two dwarfen civs)

If anyone wants it will give you the seed, parameter set and location.
(Is this enough to generate exactly this world?)

regards

I'll take it!

Well, I put the following adjustment in an the game crashed.

[REACTION:ROSE_GOLD_MAKING]
[NAME:make alder logs]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:LOG:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:ALDER]
[SKILL:SMELT]

The REACTION field is such because I'm running it in an existing world. Any ideas?

This should indeed be a [REACTION:XXXX]

You *might* want to rethink the label (XXXX) in the REACTION tag, because you said you are trying to replace an existing reaction so that you can apply it to an existing world, but you gave this a new unique label.  With a new unique label it should work fine in new worlds.  If you want to replace an old one you have to use the same label as an existing reaction.

Ok, I'll change that back.

[PERMITTED_REACTION:XXXX] goes in the *entity*.  That is a different type of object defined in a different file that describes what your civilization has access to.  Whatever label you give you reaction, you have to also permit it in the entity.

What would the entity for this reaction be?  I can't find alder logs in the raw folder.

If you leave it there you will probably get 10*150 = 1500 logs.  I don't think that's what you want.

Yeah... I'll be getting rid of that item.  I might change it to 10 and have the reaction produce 1.

I haven't tried to do any raw modding since way back 40d, so I am very much out of the loop.  I am trying to add a smelter recipe that allows me to just pull logs out of it.  I remember from my previous attempts that it is possible to pull completed items out (i.e., beds), but I have been unsuccessful in having materials appear.  Also, last I knew, I had to replace an existing smelter reaction if I wanted to be able to use it in an established fort, but now I do not see my changes at all in my ongoing fort.

Here is what I am replacing one of my smelter reactions with:
[REACTION:MAKE_WOOD]
[NAME:make alder logs]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:LOG:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:ALDER][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:SMELT]

What am I missing?

I'm looking for something that may or may not be a challenge.  Here is what I'm looking for:

- River/Brook
- Volcano/Pool near the surface
- Pit exposed to the surface
- Shallow and Deep metals
- Sand (underground is fine, that's typically how I find it anyway)
- Not evil
- Medium to low savagery

Embark size doesn't really matter as long as it isn't gigantic.

Can I get an embark?

They were all carrying axes and I had 5 in reserve preparing for the military that they were able to pick up.  I had the job selected.

Your dwarves... appear to have been secretly elves.

Reclaim and declare war on the source of the imposters.

Not likely, I was in a world without Elves.  That would have been one hell of an historical appearance.

I like to use Lego!
It reminds me of my childhood, making Lego bricks by hand in a Chinese sweat shop. 

Ah the good old days, we used to get paid 2 cents for every thousand bricks.

Wow, just enough to buy fare on a 5'x5' bus with 20 other people.  Lucky!  More than I ever made making Building Bricks.
