You can connect levers to gear assemblies. If they connect your reactors to the pump stacks, they will stop supplying power when  you pull the lever

If you're lucky there might be a magma pipe extending up to the second or third cavern. If you're made of 4 leaf clovers you might find magma on the surface. You could embark on a volcano, too.
Ok then. Time to pick up the pick miners!

On my civilizations menu (c in-game) it says I export terror to the goblins. What exactly does that mean?

Actually, you are importing terror.
What you are exporting is retribution.  ;)

(It is the default status for goblins, just like kobolds is "petty annoyance, death".)

They should, if they aren't then its probably a bug.

Screw pumps DO pick up contaminants, from blood and refuse as far as I know. I learned this the hard way when creating my first reservoir.

screw pumps decontaminate and desalinate water. however the water gets comtaminated again if it contacts contaminants or contaminated water and gets salinated if it touches NATURAL (even smoothed) rock/ground.

pumps leave all crap below the input tile. the trick is completely separating the water from the outside world (using only screw pumps for input/output) to get a clean reserviour.

hope that clears it up.

edit: too many hours reading the wiki...

Oh and do caged animals still produce FPS drop? As much as uncaged animals?

They dont path nor transmit heat I believe, so no FPS issues whatsoever.
