Assembly line!
But that would require some other changes.
If possible, boat- fortress.  Which I WILL find some way to move across the ocean to an island. (Of course, a land bridge to that effect would be cool... Possibly with an ARTIFICIAL ISLAND. )

Speaking of which, a dwarven version of a certain spoilered thing from the book Eos.

A tunnel that

 goes on forever. Literally.

With a rail in the middle that has a moving city on it. Okay, so that's possibly spoilers, but I had to say it, since it's the important thing.

With hatches that lead to surface locations on the roof.
They lead to very different things in the book, but hey.

oh

[Argonnek]

What would I do with moving fortress parts? Screw up their design and use so badly that my dwarves are actively thrown into the magma channels whenever they try to enter the booze stockpile.

No, I do not know how that could possibly be accomplished, but my record with dwarven mechanics has been less than exemplary.

[Eric Blank]

Orbital magma cannon, with precise targeting. Just move it to your enemies, minimal resource use. It'll probably need guide rails.

And yes, defense tower that emerges right in front of my entrance, spraying magma everywhere.

Adamantine Gear Solid 4: Spears of Armok

I wonder who will try to remake Metal Gear Rex first?

[decius]

I'll start with a simple project.

Recreate the cave of random death from FFIV. If you've played it, you know what I mean. (The official title is "Sealed Cave")

Enter in adventure mode with a party and traps enabled, and fear the doors!

[Tiny Adventure Captain]

I'm picturing three or four dorfs holding stones and waiting for an elevator to arrive.

Except they'd just path to take an alternate route or give up entirely.

[PsychoBuck]

I'm mainly anticipating the flood of disaster reports from overambitious projects. Will be entertaining.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I think the first thing I'll do is make a fort like this:

[lordnincompoop]

Elevators, subways, monorails, trains, minecarts, labyrinths, huge moving tiles a la Sir Thursday.

[Max White]

Hmm, through careful use of floors, walls, and magma storage, I plan to build  DWARVEN TANK!

[GrizzleBridges]

You ever seen the film 'Cube'?
Im gonna make that

[druid91]

Construct a Dwarven walker, then turn the fortress into a repair, refuel and refit station. Go in as an adventurer, take the walker walk around dropping magma on things. I will power it with an internal water-reactor, have a massive glass window sphere for the command center, exterior walkways for marks-dwarves, Built in repeaters to make it keep going in a straight line. And finally a magma reservoir to power a primary cannon that will be used as a finisher to exterminate cities/ elven retreats. Whenever I run out of anything return to the fortress retire reclaim fix it up and start over again.

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Massive conveyor belts that melt metal items into molten ores to be smelted.
And, on the subject of elevators, breakneck-speeding elevators to heaven sky fortresses.

[Haspen]

Disable moving parts for the Christ's/FPS' sake.
