Also, what happens if you mod out ice?

It might just be the grass catching fire. Did you try it with booze but no grass or grass but no booze?

The only way to pressurize magma is with screw pumps. Essentially, you need to use screw pumps to move the magma from the cistern if you want it to be useful.

Make this not only apply to barrels and bins, but to stacks.

I don't see the problem of it creating lots of jobs, so long as it's the lowest priority, and dwarfs will only do it if they have nothing else to do. It could actually help, as you could turn hauling off on your legendary dwarfs, so if you, say, make crafts, the legendary craftsdwarf would do it, unless he's busy, in which case a dwarf that isn't as good would finish his hauling job and do it.

In order to build a drawbridge, you need one end anchored to the floor. The closest I could do to what you did and still make it a drawbridge is:
before:
========
++....++
========
after:
========
++#####+
========
And when it opens:
========
++----X+
========Which is essentially what I did.

Edit:
Tanelorn: I'd have to make sure I don't lock the doors with the dwarfs inside. If I was going to build doors, I might as well replace the bridge with a hatch and make it perfectly safe.

Couldn't you just pet-lock the doors? If there's enough, one is bound to stop the cat.

You could modify the raws so cats don't have lungs.
