Sackfocus - 206 Early Spring by Elvang

Map Description:

Fortress built to test magma defense.

Point of Interest: Test subjects

The dwarf on the left is directly under where the magma falls, and the dwarf on the right is one tile north of a hole. In test 1 the left dwarf ended up with a mangled foot. In test 2 neither dwarf was injured.
In both tests the magma leaked over the pumps so each was only subject to a single cycle. No damage to the pumps, though getting rid of the magma is another matter. It is assumed that if the magma didn't leak and the cycle looped there would be more damage done. - Elvang

Nice research/setting up you've done here.

Forgive me if this sounds extremely stupid, but, i simply do not get the layout of your screw pumps, i can only see it as being impossible. Let me explain. Lets start with the most right S to N line of screw pumps, it sucks the magma tile to the top, then a E to W screw pump will pump the on tile of magma to the left, another 3 tiles to be exact, and then the second left line of screw pumps will pump the magma tile back downwards. So far so good. But now comes the trouble when beginning with the most left S to N line of screw pumps, its exactly the same as the first one, only mirrored. The problem occurs when that magma tile needs to come back downwards, because then it can not but has to go over the first E to W screw pump. Therefor the left magma tile will never be able to come back. Maybe thats why your screw pumps break down exactly there? (sorry for the lengthy explanation)

The point at the top right where there is magma on a pump and gear is from when the 7/7 tile is sitting on the floor for a few steps. Unfortunately the pump 1 z-level up doesn't grab it instantly for some reason, so a little magma spills out. It then again spills when dropping the extra z-level back down, usually onto a gear assembly.

After the spillage at top right the rest of it just breaks down, I don't know why it spills at bottom left. If I just run the left side (the one without a change in z-level) it loops perfectly.
