Can minecarts be made out of lignite/bituminous coal and set on fire?
Just fill the minecart with !!lignite blocks!!

We shall send minecarts into the invading forces as a form of explosive catapult! All hail the Toady One!

Building destroyers are attracted to artifact furniture, right?  And artifact-level lignite/bituminous coal burns forever, right?

So you could load a lignite cabinet/bituminous coal hatch cover on a minecart, set the artifact on !!fire!!, and then...

OhmygodexplodingminecartbombsthisisAWESOME!

God damn it, Toady. Why do you always have to create such awesome new releases! It means I always end up thinking "better to wait for the next release, those fixes look damn important!"

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.
Check out my RtD!

This just in: What about artifact minecarts? Maybe those are frictionless!

Oh yes.. immune to fire.  Immune to bulding destroyers...

Finally! A craft that bonecrafters can make that would be aesthetically pleasing *AND* useful once set on fire!

This is a gold minecart. All craftmaship is of the highest quality. This item menaces with spoilers of spoilerite. This item is adorned with hanging fuzzy dice. On this item is a picture of minecarts and goblins in platinum. The carts are flying. The goblins are cringing. The artwork refers to the creation of the first railgun in Utharadol in 1050.

Considering Toady mentioned the arc thing, you wouldn't so much get a railgun as a catapult. Dig a channel down deep and then one to get it up and out over the fort walls onto goblins.

I'm assuming one thing that'll be added are lever-controlled switch points to the tracks.  You could probably get a rudimentary Battleships game going.

"Let's see... the goblin's sitting at square C4... *set levers for specific launch exit* FIRE!"


"C4: HIT!  You squashed my battlegoblin!"

Speaking of catapults...

Minecarts might give players the long-hoped-for ability to hurl goblin/troll body parts at invaders.  Kinda like in Tolkien, but with the defenders doing it, rather than the siegers.
