What if you somehow used the SOF as a dwarven heat ray? Put in a few clear glass windows in a nice curved shape, a floodgate to control the heat, wait for the goblins elfen traders to stand in front and PEWWWW~

This should be tested.

Well if dwarves like mist from water walls then would they like steam?  Perhaps you can make some sort of dwarven sauna.

...I might actually have to try that.

I do know that they can set clothing on fire in adjacent tiles, and was working out how I could use that as a way to harvest armour from captured goblin siegers - I made the mistake of storing the SOF terrariums in the same stockpile as my captured goblins, and they all caught fire. My idea was to put the goblin cages next to the SOF terrarium and burn up their annoying leather and cave spider silk garments to leave the delicious iron. My main problem was working out how to prevent my dorfs from also bursting into flame as they came to retrieve the iron stuff, but a floodgate could do it.

The obstacle could be if the SOF's heat only extends to adjacent tiles, rather than further afield.

I've thought about doing this, but no, dwarves don't really care about steam.

You could make a little retractable bridge that dumps the goblinite a level or two down after all the cloth has been burned off.

Fixed that for you.

Can they boil zinc? If so, put the cage in a small nook behind a locked door. When the goblins and elves come, open the door and drop zinc mugs from a platform above. They will set the goblins and elves on fire.
