Fortunately for you the massed vermin material has very low shear strength and high plasticity (although edge sharpness is randomly chosen each worldgen, like with glass), so you're probably fine.

You guys want to solve everything with magma.

I had an idea for a broiler room. Floor made of steel grates, two reservoirs of magma and water directly beneath separated by a magma-safe floodgate. When the invaders step on the pressure plate, the doors seal and the floodgate opens. :supaburn:

Magma mist is what you should be looking for.

Fine. As lovely and intelligent as FYAD. Not actually "basically fyad". Better?

and like 40 people who play Liberal Crime Squad and DF Adventure mode.

Admittedly, Liberal Crime Squad is pretty great.

What's the easiest way to build a latch in DF? I want the invaders to trigger a pressure plate that closes the door behind them, and can only be opened by a lever the dwarves control.

Minecarts, track rollers, and pressure plates. There's a decent guide to minecart logic on the wiki.

Liberal Crime Squad is a fun game.

As far as I know migrants are never randomly generated after the first two waves, so your guys must be coming from somewhere in the world. Maybe they've just lived extremely uneventful lives?

LIberal Crime Squad is hilarious and worth trying out. You basically control your own Symbionese Liberation Army and go around committing liberal acts of violence against The Man, which somehow eventually turns the whole country liberal.

In one of my games my assault-rifle-armed brute squad accumulated way too much heat from gunning down random hicks and repeatedly breaking into the CEO's compound. If your high-heat guys stay in one hideout for too long the police will raid you so you have to shuffle them around regularly, but if they've committed a really extraordinary number of violent crimes the heat can't cool down fast enough and just keeps increasing, which guarantees a police raid.

The solution, of course, was to preempt the police by visiting the police station every week and gunning down everyone inside, forcing it to shut down for the following week.

Isn't that basically the same as making a magma piston?

There's also a different device that exploits the weird things that happen when cave-ins fall into pools of fluid to create a combination automatic obsidian dropper and pump-free magma transporter. You basically end up with a magma fountain that you can dip into many levels above its origin.

Are you guys joking when you said that LCS has katanas and tanks?

I never found those.

Until it was fixed a viable approach was to seduce the tanks.
