@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I think this may go better in DF Dwarf Mode Discussion.

That said, I love the idea and wish to nominate the Magma Piston Pump.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

A while back I thought up plans for a treasure fort containing a doomsday engine. The engine would have a clock built in hell that would collapse the entire fortress into the magma sea within a few years, the fort would be divided into sections each with their own defense mechanisms, and any foreseeable attempt to breach one of the treaure chambers or disable the doomsday clock would result in that chamber collapsing or the doomsday engine activating early. I thought reclaiming it where the only way to enter the fortress without premature magmageddon was to activate the doomsday clock would be a great forum challenge but alas I never went anywhere with it, mainly because that would take decades of gametime and a respectable portion of the entire magma sea.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

The Nobel price is your time. 

The Nobles price is their soul screaming for all eternity, alone at the bottom of the magma sea.

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.
