I got a wonderous idea after fighting a goblin seige. you have catapults and balistai, so why not some big artillery cannons? i was wondering has someone done this and if not ow hard would it be?

You could mod in cannonballs, I guess, but they'd still be fired from ballistae and look like ballista arrows.

i was thinking having them fired from a catapult but i would need help with the "explode on contact" things.

It's not really doable. The only way to make something reliably explode is to have it ignite and boil at such a low temperature that you'd never be able to actually make use of it.

Well, you can set it to constantly be at a set temperature.
Also, if you set somethings ignite point low, that doesn't mean that the fire it creates is hot.

If you set it to a constant temperature, it will never explode. That, or it will never be solid.
I didn't know that about the ignite point though.

Plus, it'd be kinda hard to get it from the workshop to the catapult, seeing as it'll be on fire the whole way.

[drilltooth]

could you use the "ignites at just below body temperature" trick for ballista bolts?

You see them coming, you set the forest / grassland on fire and get indoors.
