-===Flooded Entrance===
-Using a chamber as your entrance alongside a chamber full of water and some machinery you can flood or drain the entrance at will.
-The basic premise requires two levers, two screw pumps and two gear assemblies. The amount of power required and the number of additional components needed to get the power to the screw pumps varies depending on distance/setup. One pump is placed to draw from chamber 1 and dump into chamber 2. The other is set in reverse. A gear assembly is placed next to each pump and connected to the main power system. Each gear is linked to a lever. Now at the flip of a switch you can submerge your entrance with water or magma for easy, secure defense against creatures that aren't amphibious or magma-dwelling, depending.

-cut it down to a 1 tile lane to slow down invaders more.
-Retract bridge 1 to force invaders to take the long way, for maximum exposure to your ranged units.
-Bridges 2 and 3 can be put down to allow more enemies into this pit entrance, then retracted again to trap them again.
