What's an efficient use for minecarts besides goblin processing?

Sorry, for a moment there I forgot we were all psychopaths.
Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.

Auto-Quantum Stockpiler
You'll see a couple other ideas I have added in there as well.

Waste disposal/garbage cans, laundry systems (clothing refuse), vending machines, automated obsidian factories (may need a bit of tinkering), assembly line factories, dwarven catapults, railguns, shotguns, goblin milling plants, catsplosion population control device, rollercoaster; the list goes on.

EDIT:
Actually, with all these various uses, I wonder if anyone has gotten around to making like a dwarven modern city or something; condos, tenements, and apartment buildings, subways, the works (Even making a generator out of a waterwheel powerplant and suspended powerlines across the streets).
