Oh sweet, thanks for the tutorial! I suppose river-based watermills are also a valid option, but they're harder to defend, build, etc., because there's only a range of locations in which I can build them, and they're all close to the map edge (where evil clouds are a problem.) So I think I'll still try to stick with windmills. But I'll definitely do what you advised.

"One after the painful other." Lol. Puts it into perspective why people make impulse ramp setups and water reactors. But I've never worked with power in a big way before, so I feel like I should do it legitimately my first time.

And the trap worked perfectly. I had a bunch of doors I could lock for backup, but there was no need. A 3x3 bridge in the middle of a 1-wide hallway. The tile immediately before the bridge has a resetting pressure plate linked to the bridge. Below the bridge is a small pit with no ramps on the sides. Zombie captured. I think I could even use it to capture multiple zombies...
