McHauler will be fine, inside the fort is 47 degrees and the only time it leaves is to trade it to elves.

Not for me, my Depot is outside

Put it underground then

Maybe I'll do it the easier way: launch the barrels at them with bridge-a-pults. Or simply use the bridge-a-pults for killing the goblins in the first place

FIRE THE BOOZE!
Dwarf cancels siege duty: Drinking.
Dwarf cancels drink: flung.
Dwarf cancels life: Interrupted by lasher.

By bridgeapolt, I asumme you are using goblinoid ammunition?

Nope. We're using booze inside of barrels that are going to ignite at 3 degrees higher than underground temperature.

Could it be possible to mod these barrels so, that they are constructed as buildings, then linked to a pressure plate which, when activated, detonates the booze? Dwarven booze-mines!

Win

I don't think so 

Maybe you should ask in the modding forum. Ask if something can ignite with a mechanism, then put booze there 

[Karakzon]

that, is actualy a good kind of idea for improved mechanisms and traps, make sure you put it up in the suggestions thread etc for toady etc to look at.

You can do that already, although I haven't done it personally. Just make 1-square booze stockpiles, then once the barrels are in place, remove the stockpile and forbid the barrel. Then, over each barrel you make a floodgate, and a 1-square magma reservoir above that. Link the pressure plate to the floodgate, and when someone steps on it, the magma falls and lights the barrels. Boom.

Of course, based on the descriptions I've seen on the forum, the exploding booze doesn't actually do that much damage by itself, it's the fire that eventually kills you. Moreover, if you've gone through the trouble to make a magma reservoir like that, you're already able to just flood the chamber with magma, so.....

But... the win!

Oh, I know! Mod a metal so it ignites at 50 degrees! Derp! That solves the wood problem 

[Sarda]

What, no turning living elves into still-living booze barrels/firebombs? Booooo.

I don't know how to do that 

But I do know how to get copper to burst into unholy flames!

Custom reaction elf-> barrel, mod tissue raws to ignite at 50 urists.

Then everything with skin would burn outside 

...vampire elves?

[Sarda]

Mod the specific barrel creature's raws so that ITS tissue and its tissue alone ignite at 50 urists.
