This is a miniature (1x1 embark) magma-based mega-project monster mincer.

It runs magma sprinklers in a clockwise loop around a causeway.  Steel spikes run in the opposite direction, counter-clockwise around the causeway.

• Does not block invader pathing.
• Wagon accessible.
• Runs indefinitely.
• Mostly building destroyer proof.  Anywhere a building destroyer might stand to destroy something will shortly be bathed in lava or run through with masterwork steel spikes.
• Kinda self cleaning.  The bridges retract, cleaning the magma, but the goblinite stills needs sorting.

The trap in action.  1690 masterwork menacing steel spikes skewering counterclockwise around the causeway.  42 lava sprinklers pouring molten stone clockwise around the causeway.  42 green glass bridges, spreading magma across 167 masterwork obsidian floor grates.

Truly amazing! I dream of building a magma bombing system on my 4x4 embark one day.

This is awesome!

Whoa. How do people even begin to build something like this? Amazing work!

[Schmaven]

How does it do against trolls or other floor grate destroyers?  I wish I could witness it in glorious action

Holy Toady, this is incredible. I wish we could see it mince enemies. It's workings are mesmerising.

Fascinating project. It's like looking at a baby Silentthunders. How does the rest of your fort work?

Seconded.
