Have you been checking "Mountainous" tiles? If they're still not enough, you'll have to download a mod like Map Designer if you want bigger mountains, unfortunately. You could also make the map bigger like 300x300+ and see if that's enough mountain for you :D

I'm actually curious about this too. I usually play out in the open but I want to start a new colony and try a mountain base for the first time. How do people insure that they're not just building through a small mountain into the open again? Do most people disable the fog of war to have a look?

You can do that, or use the map re roll mod, alongside map designer mod mentioned above. You get to see several map previews, before you generate the actual map.

This mod has a setting for mountain density.

If I'm playing a mostly vanilla style mountain base, then ya I turn on dev mode and disable fog to get an understanding of where the mountains actually are, then plan my base using that information.

Lately I've been using the Terraform RimWorld mod which allows building overhead mountain and stone walls/floors (one chunk per tile so it's slow), so if I find what I thought was a mountain was more like a ridge into a valley, I can slowly turn it into a mountain instead of just abandoning the save and starting over.
