I considered a bad suggestion because:

a) There’s still lots of work to be done in engine refactoring…  
b) …and content regarding ONE Cataclysm already…

…so, even if it’s pretty much awesome, there’s lots of stuff to be done before it could be added.

Maybe in the future, with World Generation JSON-ized? So we could create our own different dimensions to be accessed through portals?

And also, there’s the chain reactions: Lava Dimension A starts flowing into Fungus Dimension B that ends spilling lots of heat in points of our Dimension C…

* * *

And to keep this thread theme: portals and breachs opened in space result into UFOS - Unexpected Falling Oh SHIIIIIIIIT-

(VERY bad idea if the survivor is the one falling, not that much if something else falls, and the survivor is just looking up.)

If it makes you LESS thirsty, no one who tried the Lab Challenge will argue against this… me included 😃

After walking chickens, walking houses! Have the satisfaction of the power of ultimate destruction literally without losing the confort of your own home!

In manual and automatic models, for people who don’t have the patience to deal with people in their lawns!

Prologue challenge. You start the game and you have to survive for a season before the Cataclysm happens. You have to keep working or steal stuff if you want to survive.

So it’s a box that you put a quarter in and then a boxing glove on a spring comes out and punches you in the nose?

No, it’s a showered and disinfected zombie stuck in the box.

Knife teeth.

For whatever reason you’ve replaced your teeth with small cutting implements. You often make your gums bleed quite badly, especially in your sleep. You also gain the ability to do a devastating bite attack, at the expense of infecting your mouth if your enemy is… well, you know, toxic.

Knife teeth.

Mediguns like from TF2. You can shoot NPCs with them to make them angry, and they can shoot you to revive you when it looks like you’re dying.

Zombie motorcycles. If they start, you should quickly run to the side or behind a tree. Or just use a bazooka.

A tall mutation in which you need 2 adjacent tiles of bed to sleep comfortable.

An allergy negative flaw, but what triggers it is hidden from the player. SECRET SUFFERING ROULETTE TIME. IS\_ALLERGEN is a new tag that somehow allows a set of different random things per playthrough to become allergy triggers. This allergy causes the moral penalty, sometimes it swells your face, reducing vision and breathing. Sometimes it is itchy. Sometimes it makes you vomit lots, or nearly kills you. It is worth like +10 character points.

I have this irl apparently. I did not get the +10 because mine never kills me. My ears/neckline/eyes/nose are itchy and my eyes are puffed up enough that I look like a differerent person. This sucks.
