I'm currently repeatedly genning a custom world to get a very specific embark for a tech fortress with lots of water and magma. However, I have not yet found one that suits my needs. I have found that a major bottleneck in my search is aquifer -- one of my worlds has an embark that is reasonably suitable except for the aquifer. How do I remove all aquifer from a world, for this and future needs?

Well I know that DFhack has a command that removes aquifer tags from all tiles on an embark, meaning the water won't refill itself, although I don't know if that removes the water that's already there or not

Nevermind, I just edited the world raws and removed [AQUIFER] tags from all stone & soil types.

Water only appears when tiles have been mined out, so it'll prevent any new water from being created, including from tiles that haven't been mined out yet.

Yeah, this will work. Note that it won't work in an area where you've already embarked, but it will apply to embarks after that change.
