"Urist IV, do you copy?"

"...Bit of static, but we've got you, overseer."

"Do you have visual, Urist IV? Where's your team?"

"The drop scattered us, overseer. Urist V and Urist II are here, but the others are somewhere off in this blazing expanse."

"Urist IV? You're breaking up, do you copy?"

"...It's beautiful, overseer. We've found it--. We've--. Urist II, watch o--. This place... Is -- Murder-- We found it, overseer... We found-- ... ... ... Maglantis--"

Someone should make Maglantis and then indundate it with the magma sea.

You should maybe read up on this thread. Fort of clear glass domes built directly on semi-molten rock, linked by clear glass tunnels, also featuring a roc hatchery dome, a resident necromancer for archery training, underground plants on the semi-molten rock, and surface plants farmed in hell.

As to nether-cap minecarts disappearing in magma, I'm not completely convinced yet, but I'll be able to do my own testing soon enough. The other duplicate thread had someone mention nether-cap items being safe in magma, and there is a know bug with items (sometimes?) seemingly disappearing, but still visible in stocks, when in magma/flowing water/ice. I had that bug with a bunch of invader/giant toad mount skeletons/body parts that were in my river, just a while ago. This affects iron/steel minecarts as well, and was also experienced in e.g. WanderingKid's recent videos featuring a minecart grinder with magma body part disposal (in undead biome; it's the single pick challenge): an iron minecart disappeared into the magma. Dfhack autodump can at least destroy items like that (mark for dumping from stocks menu), probably also move them out of their invisible status.
