Note on pressure plate: It should probably be set to 0-0 magma, since I tried it with 0-3 magma and got too much magma on the second magma layer.

This will only work if your map freezes, either all the time or only in winter. If it only freezes in winter, this will only work in winter. Note that if you build this on a glacier, none of the walls can be made of natural ice as they will melt. Turns out, if the water level's walls are made of natural ice, the melting is actually a good thing, as it eliminates the need for an external water source to start it.

Magma layer 1 (z0):
