Isolation. Seperate dwarves from each other. Lock them in their rooms if possible, only letting them out if they are starving and decently happy.

Forcing them to talk to each other kindly for the entire year does this better, but is not viable in a Tantrum Spiral already undergoing.

I updated the first post with the saved game.

1 weirdness about this map is the circus never spawned for me,  but maybe some of you wanted to throw me some input on the design/setup I have going on etc etc.. and if you want to experiment try losing 2-3 dwarfs and watch the spiral go nuts. I really need to build some device/setup to harden everyone to death and dying lol

I was doing some house cleaning and I do have a volcano on the map which I use as a nice garbage disposal.  I selected a few thousand body parts and misc stuff to get toss to burn up and clean things up.  In doing so something strange happened next to the volcano, a lava burst or something kicked up and 3 of the dwarfs standing/dumping there were melted/burned to death.

If you toss heavy stuff in magma, it sprays magma mist. You need to make a several z-levels hole to make magma dumping safe.

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.
