That does look tragic!

Gave me an idea though. My forts succumb to enemy often the same way. It's usually not dwarfs... Couldn't I use pressure plates, laying around narrow tunnels and connected to iron bars, at those tunnels, to "quarantine" the whole fort? The plates would be set to "heavier than dwarf" and it would usually trigger the fort wide quarantine 🤔

No were beasts are both trap avoid (so they don't trigger PP's) and building destroyers, so even if you did trap one with bars, they break out.

You're better off either keeping your main gate closed or posting a couple armed guards at the door
