It is useful to note that dwarves will not be crushed by jammed floodgates as they would with bridges thus enabling your miner to dig into fluids without spillage by ensuring the gate is triggered while Urist McMiner is in position on his dig square. I had engineered a set of levers and gate to breach a magma tube. It is a frustrating and difficult 2-dwarf job. I will try a pressure plate paired with a burrow order, next time.

:Yup, verified it will close by itself once the blocking materials are removed, unlike in 40d. Used 31.18, vermin corpses as blocking material, dumped the corpses into the open gate and turned the lever, waited for it to shut and noted it haven't. Dumped the corpses away and as soon as the last hauler took it out and left the square the gate's in, the gate closed shut without additional input. Noting for future readers.
