I would like to create a goblin rollercoaster to shoot them flying into a volcano.  Is it possible to load creatures into carts in any way?  (Drop them from a height perhaps?).  Or will I have to load them in cages? 

[Sabreur]

I think what you would have to do is create an 'animal' stockpile that only accepts goblin cages, then have a minecart route set to take from that stockpile.

I haven't done this myself, so don't take me for an authority on the subject.

If the minecart hits a wall at sufficient speed then the it will eject the goblin cage over the top of the wall. If the cage hits a wall at sufficient speed, then the goblin will be ejected from the cage!

Place hundreds of gobbos in a cage and fire them at an elven caravan?

Put hundreds of gobbos into a cart and shotgun them into a volcano.  Through the elven caravan.

By the way, if you succeed I respectfully request video.

Thanks a lot.

[candy sunny]

Good!

[Lamphare]

Okay this definitely reminds me of Minecraft !FUN!

[Headhanger]

I would also like to see the results of this !!SCIENTIFIC!! experiment.

But only because I want to see what the spread is like on the goblins flying from the cage.

Honest. That's the only reason.

4 z-levels of track ramp constructed next to the volcano is sufficient. The goblins skipped a few times, but none reached the far side of the magma pool. I'd warn people to make the second level of the end wall wider (perpendicular to the track) than 1 tile, because a goblin cage missed it and went into the volcano. 4 goblin cages made the cart 24% full, so you need at least 5 cages for an automated 25% launch.

That's one of the dorfiest ideas I've ever heard. Bravo sir

[GreatWyrmGold]

We really CAN make a hell-cannon that fires demons now...

[Wyrmnax]

Erm. demons can be caged?
