We place limits on dark matter made up of compact objects significantlyheavier than a solar mass, such as MACHOs or primordial black holes (PBHs). Ingalaxies, the gas of such objects is generally hotter than the gas of stars andwill thus heat the gas of stars even through purely gravitational interactions.Ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) maximize this effect. Observations of thehalf-light radius in UFDs thus place limits on MACHO dark matter. We build uponprevious constraints with an improved heating rate calculation including bothdirect and tidal heating, and consideration of the heavier mass range above$10^4 \, M_\odot$. Additionally we find that MACHOs may lose energy and migratein to the center of the UFD, increasing the heat transfer to the stars. UFDscan constrain MACHO dark matter with masses between about $10 M_\odot$ and$10^8 M_\odot$ and these are the strongest constraints over most of this range.
