I can't wait for matchmaking to hit, I'm thinking it'll completely revolutionize the game.

Eh.  Its going to probably either mirror the comp meta already in play (only worse because none of the broken weapons can be banned), or it will be similar to how MvM became after like three months (a bunch of kick happy my-way-or-highway meta sods).

What about the clothing industry?

Pump up magma from a source and have it flow out in the general direction of the goblin.

This will destroy the tree as well as the goblin without direct harm to dwarves.  In addition, it should melt the rest of the trees as well, preventing this issue again and probably improve FPS in the long run, and if you plan your design ahead, it can be weaponized to be used against future sieges.

I imagine the upgrade is to encourage actual counterplay - currently the optimal strategy is just to run through the fire as fast as you can, IMO. If the update's tuned right, this could well make it worthwhile to put the turret out of action (ie repairing) and take advantage of the fire break, which could be much more interesting.

It takes about a minute for the turret to repair, and its easy enough to down if maybe two people focus it enough.

Also the extra damage it does makes it a bit more lucrative to hijack it via ECM.

The team DM matches are absolutely silly.  Two blobs just sort of loitering just outside of view from each other, trading a couple of shots here and there that are immediately healed up by the three medics per team.  And then one of the medics die by plasma bomber/random rail guy and the other team finally presses the advantage.

After getting all the mone in the vault, the vault doors swing open to reveal a surrounding wall of swat police.  Shields, tazers, the works.

No fear, for I have a flamethrower.  I just get in there, the flames going around the shields and melting cops down where ever I go.  Meanwhile the rest of the teams cleaning up and shoving money bags down a vent.  We get the two rooms outside the vault secured.

The vault area is connected to the bank proper via a long hallway, that's clogged with police, shields, and other ugliness.  I get my flamethrower reloaded and take point.  I'm literally just walking forward and shooting, never stopping nor slowing.  Everything in my path burns, they couldn't stop me.

We break out of our hold and make for the exit.  My flammer's dry so I switch to my smg to pop off snipers and the other stragglers in our path.  We escape via garbage truck.

A bear sized quadruped made of radiation and a portal for a head decided it wanted to body slam me.  I squished.

What you should have done was build a floodgate when the channel was still dry.

You might be able to build some constructions over it and trigger a collapse/cave-in so the rubble covers up the channel.
