Put your quantum stockpile underneath the drawbridge with the bridge raised, clear dwarves from it, pull the lever, and enjoy the atom smashing.

I used to have an avatar, but I was told to remove it after it kept making people go insane.

It has to be a bridge that raises in a direction. Retracting bridges don't work.

These creatures don't deserve the honor of being destroyed by this magnificent device.

Please, take a moment of silence for all the venerable old threads rendered unintelligible by the Great Photobucket Dickification of 2017. So much was lost.

This is my atomsmasher design.  You can make it smaller of course, this just works for me.  I've never had a dwarf accidentally die.

W = Wall
R = Ramp
B = Bridge
D = Door
. = Ground

Code: [Select]
...R..
WWWWWW
WBBBBW
DBBBBW

WWWWWW

The bridge raises to the right.  The door is forbidden for most times.  It's just there, just in case.  A lever nearby is hooked to the bridge to control it.
 
To set it up to actually get stuff, go to the level above and designate a zone on the side with the ramp that includes the open air past the wall, over the bridge.  Set it as a garbage dump and you're all set.  Be sure to remove any other garbage dumps you have on the map so they are forced to use this one.

Pretend the below code is level 2.

Z = Zone

Code: [Select]
...R..
