I've always preferred magma for garbage disposal, just like Armok intended.  Besides, number of items doesn't actually increase FPS- its stockpile tiles that are the real culprit.

SCIENCE says otherwise.  Operation FPS Bomb had no stockpiles. 

"Magma" is not really useful for garbage disposal, as many items take a while to dissolve.  SMR is useful for garbage disposal, but I'm a little more loathe to just open a straight chute to the SMR without putting something that would block random magma critters from climbing up.

For all intents and purposes, that is a relatively new feature, so no need to feel foolish.

3 years old, yeah

They grow up so fast...

I realize now that I overlooked 3d designation simply because you cannot DIG that way.  Digging was my first type of designation, so I assumed that it would behave the same way for all other designations.

I enjoy constructing an overengineered system to move battle refuse to a very tall vertical shaft ending in a magma puddle. Periodically a complex system of hatches close and open, allowing the puddle to be drained and the remaining iron goodies to be safely extracted(at the magma sea. Convenience!). Then the safety doors close and the hail of giblets resumes.

Considering the fact that the face-palm thread is 622 pages, there's no need to feel foolish (at least not moreso than the rest of us)

You can designate digging in 3d. Although, this does not include channeling out the floors between the layers. Which is a good thing, considing digger safety.
