If it is a one tile hallway, they shoot.  You get what I mean, don't nitpick.

I think ill attemp dumping it in a ocean though if anyone else is doing this feel free to continue as i may not get around to it.

What about a fiery moat?
If it really burns forever that could rather easily be done (just stockpile coal + bins)

Will objects fall out of bins if you fire them with your bridge-a-pult?

That will kill your FPS

Wicked, I suddenly feel a urge to do it XD

Like, 3 fps, if you were running at 60.  That type of kill. Maybe worse.

Ok, that means leaving it on during the night, which will not work since you will get pauze-stops when something idiotic as immigrants arrive, darnit.

So what are the results of the different materials, and I'll test out the log kindling.

you know, you could probably use this to stop a river or stream from flowing. just drop them into the water in a line across the flow, and if they evaporate everything that effeciently you can empty the river downstream of the point you throw them in. then dam it if you wanted, or just have your dwarves run around picking up all the suffocated aquatic life. if that works, then it is such a dwarfy way of fishing, even more dwarfy then filtering the ocean through an underground chamber full of grates. boil the river away and recover the charred edible things left over.

Only need one, in the center of the stream.

well the "ocean" is only the edge of the ocean on a 2x2 plot of land and it only took the complete death of my dwarfs twice with reclaim before i got the structure done. heres a pic the movie is to come of the droping and all that. im just letting it chill down there right now.

the bin is in the dark solid gray spot and as you can see there is a spot atleast 3 squares away that is marked as hot.

the lignite now has x's in around a half a year later as observed. the constant flow of water does not affect its longevity. movie soon as i remember the password to the dfma

[Vengeful Donut]

Hmm. Perhaps fat/tallow in an iron barrel would behave similarly.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

stupid password! also working on a reusable test site because mine was on its way to lava flooding the world from a floodgate malfuntion.

maybe evaporating the ocean will require more than one bin, because you'd need to destroy the water faster than the water arrives from the map edge.
