The easy way is to macromanage by designating 75x75 ramps, 15 times.

Whenever I do this, my fps dies.  I hate that.

I just had this happen to me by accident.
("dig your own grave, dwarf." thread)

I have previously experimented with collapsing soil into a pit several layers deep, maybe I was just luck nobody died then.
(grass grows on it, but no farms are possible)
Or maybe those air vortices dissipate more quickly in open air.

Why the complex ideas with the lever near the collapse?
Isn't the range of mechanism links infinite?
(alternatively, build a small shack to protect the dwarf)

[Hague]

The range of mechanism links is directly related to the hunger, thirst, and drowsiness of the engineer building them

[Areyar]

theoretically limitless then, although in practice not so.  :p

One tile of rock will smash through every natural or constructed floor beneath it, but will not break through a solid wall of rock.  It will only come to rest when it hits something it can't break through.

Dropping a cave-in on a pit will plug the pit.

[Hague]

Can you seal the glowing pits with a cave-in then?

[Kagus]

Yes.

[Areyar]

i believe a lump of mined rock also does the trick ...if dropped 2 levels unto a non-solid floor.
