If you hit caverns too often, then you can create a custom world with a higher number for 'Z Levels Above Layer 1' - Levels of stone above the first cavern layer. Making this higher will guarantee at least this many levels to build your fortress, but will have no impact on how many z-levels thick the surface layer is. Also, the top of a cavern may be higher than the rest of a cavern, so in practice there will be more levels than this. | If you hit caverns too often, then you can create a custom world with a higher number for 'Z Levels Above Layer 1' - Levels of stone above the first cavern layer.
