Put a goblin in a minecart
« on: June 26, 2012, 01:23:20 am »

I would like to create a goblin rollercoaster to shoot them flying into a volcano.  Is it possible to load creatures into carts in any way?  (Drop them from a height perhaps?).  Or will I have to load them in cages?

I think what you would have to do is create an 'animal' stockpile that only accepts goblin cages, then have a minecart route set to take from that stockpile.

I haven't done this myself, so don't take me for an authority on the subject.

If the minecart hits a wall at sufficient speed then the it will eject the goblin cage over the top of the wall. If the cage hits a wall at sufficient speed, then the goblin will be ejected from the cage!

This is a useful feature..and this is DF.. so im gonna assume its bugged
That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

Put hundreds of gobbos into a cart and shotgun them into a volcano.  Through the elven caravan.

I would also like to see the results of this !!SCIENTIFIC!! experiment.

But only because I want to see what the spread is like on the goblins flying from the cage.

Honest. That's the only reason.

4 z-levels of track ramp constructed next to the volcano is sufficient. The goblins skipped a few times, but none reached the far side of the magma pool. I'd warn people to make the second level of the end wall wider (perpendicular to the track) than 1 tile, because a goblin cage missed it and went into the volcano. 4 goblin cages made the cart 24% full, so you need at least 5 cages for an automated 25% launch.

That's one of the dorfiest ideas I've ever heard. Bravo sir
