0008216: Floodgates wash away when open
My iron flood gates appear to be washing away when I open them to allow magma to flow through. This may have to do with the fact that magma is going around a corner at the last second as follows.

Diagonal fluid flow may have washed the gate away? Not sure, but the structure was destroyed, and the gate is a few z-levels down.

Flow magma through it with the gates open.

The specified gate appears to wash away.
Ignore the fact that the pumps are flooded with magma, that was due to an unrelated incident.
No tags attached.

Did you use magma safe mechanisms on both of the floodgates? Sounds like you used mechanisms that aren't magma safe on one of them by accident.
