You’d be surprised with what can be used to make a bomb.

Now that I think about it, with a little ingenuity flour could probably be used relatively well in an incendiary weapon of some sort. It burns pretty well, and by creating a cloud of it you could create a ton of surface area for the fire to spread.

Setting your name to McGyver enables all crafting recipes and allows you to craft them out of virtually anything.

Hipster trait: If you ever see an npc wearing a piece of clothing, wearing that kind of clothing will from then on give you a morale penalty.

Microtransactions.

But you set off all traps, but instead of the normal effects, they teleport you to a basement instead.  
And you can never voluntarily attack anything, but creatures around you have this weird habit of randomly dying…

Dyslexia trait.

Makes every text on game and user interface chance constantly, be animated, juggling and changing syllables and letters around constantly, being borderline undechipherable. Worth 2 points.

But doesn’t work against bats, or sharks, only bat-shark hybrids. Add bat-sharks, or don’t. Some people just came TOO prepared for unlikely scenarios.

Red-green color blindness trait. Red and green are randomly scrambled on the screen. Users of Chesthole or Mshock tilesets will have acid and blood mixed… Cars would look interesting too.

Corgipocalypse. There is a chance of corgis spawning, muxch as anything else can spawn, except that they spawn in all environments, and their spawn chance steadily rises with time. The only way to fight this is to stop playing. Could also work with rabbits, or even a catsplosion, I mean, even rats or mosquitoes could do in a pinch, but corgi seems best…

TURRET COOK

Recipe found in ROBOTS FOR FUN & PROFIT.

1 hotplate+1 pot+1 steak knife+1 slingshot+10 scrap metal+10 copper wire+10 charges from soldering iron.

You add ingredients and it keeps cooking. When you come within range, it shoots food onto your face and you lick and eat.

Well, that is good, but… Should it not also require a laser and grappling hook? And perhaps not need so many ingredients if you live near an ant-nest?

My first thought was that it was like “to eat man” but for turrets. “Mix one part circuitry with two parts cable insulation and boil for three days before frying at a high heat”…

- Night version of turret cook. It has silent tracks, manipulators and it puts food delicately into your mouth as you sleep. Is it apple jam? Is it cooked human flesh? You’ll find out only by examining your supplies in the morning. No more waking up hungry. At some nights it hunts ingredients on its own, and you’ll find evidence of it in the morning should you check out the vicinity of your sleeping spot…

- Let’s rename Chesthole tileset to Chesticle…

Another modification of the turret night cook. Instead of placing food into the mouth, it inserts the thinnest feeding tube down the player’s throat, and quietly feeds the player with nutrient paste. Comes with an internal and sound-proofed blender that pretty much sounds like a purring cat. While it feeds the player with the questionable paste, it speaks occasionally with its tight robot voice “This. Is not very nice. Behaviour.” It also speaks that when it hunts and processes animals.

Trait called Book Burner. Gain morale from burning books. The more rare the book, the bigger the bonus. Introduce books that exist only in limited numbers in the world. Making a book “extinct” would grant a permanent morale boost, while you can take delight in the knowledge that your luddite anti-enlightenment ways have yielded permanent results at long last after such hard work.
