I couldn't word the title better, but here's an example.

"Yeah, you can paint in this game, you just need to get a A dwarf next to a wall, and get a goblin to shoot him in the stomach. You can get both red and green on the wall!"

Any ideas?

[CapnUrist]

You mean creative or roundabout methods to seemingly simple things?

[MythagoWoods]

So... the Rube Goldberg Machine... Dorf Fort style?

[Max White]

Involving magma? I dare say so...

Involving magma? I dare say so...

Ways to clean a place up
1. hope that the dwarves randomly decide to clean up.
2. flood the place with magma.

I always thought that using a bridge as a catapult was one of the more creative unintended applications of this philosophy.

Want to destroy objects on the atomic level? Smash them with a drawbridge.

Want a method for killing any creature imaginable? Drop a ceiling on their head.

Want to make legendary super-soldiers in under a year? Just constantly jab them with sticks.

Want to make the most tiny, barren room an absolute paradise to live in? Just put a REALLY nice bed in it.

Want free power? Hook screw pumps and water wheels together.
Want infinite water? Keep freezing, thawing, and partially draining a tub.

-- Stealing the clothes off merchants; backs, then trading them back for useful supplies

Want to remotely open and close a floodgate?  Make a pair of rock antennae attached to a lever.

You can use it as a notepad, you just have to scribble designations in places dwarves can't reach.

You can draw pictures by using different colored materials and a whole lot of patience

You can use it as a calculator. All you have to do is build a water-powered 8-bit binary computer.

You can play it with isometric graphics, or over a remote terminal, it just requires some... creativity

I've always found the goblin repeater to be rather elegant.

[Don Blake]

Deal with a forgotten beast made of gemstones shattering your ankle-

Walk it off, apparently.

I've always found the goblin repeater to be rather elegant.

Goblin repeater? I haven't heard that before?

[CapnUrist]

Where you pit a goblin into a room set up so that it paths over a pressure plate that constantly cuts off its escape while opening a new one, as well as activating whatever you want to repeat. I tried making one, gave up and started feeding goblins to my pet ettin while I built a fluid repeater.
