You think that’s bad? Throw CAN busses and multiplexing into the mix as well.

Traffic control bot. In certain areas of road, going at too high a speed in a car will summon the traffic control bot, a fast moving robot that will constantly try to tell you to stop the car. If you stop, the traffic control bot will install clamps on the wheels, slowing down the car, or pretty much preventing it from moving until you manually remove it.
Trying to avoid traffic bot will cause it to try to attack you, or forcefully clamp the car while moving, leading to a possibly nasty stop. Trying to ram traffic control bot will trigger self-destruct sequence, functioning similar to a mine - highly likely to destroy part of your car.

Clothing becomes filthy as it is worn, similar to food decay. Clothing that gets ‘too filthy’ will start to take damage and can’t be repaired until it is cleaned, eventually disintegrating. This is accelerated if the player is in sewage, slime, blood, bile, etc.
Clothing with non-cotton components requires special substances to clean rather than only soap and water - metal can be fairly simple, a scouring pad and a bunch of time. Leather and fur could both require complex but craftable solvents. Kevlar, neoprene, and nomex would all require cleaning materials that required a chemistry set, high cooking, and lots of time to craft, if they weren’t uncraftable. Something like a survivor wetsuit (cotton, kevlar, neoprene) would require soap, water, and two different chemical cleaners to clean properly.

Whoa there Satan.
Real-Time RPG Mode! The game itself is no longer turn-based, but is constantly moving and is also well optimized.
Ever hold down the wait key? Now the game is always like that. RIP gamers with fast CPUs.

Seatbelts on seats no longer automatically work. You have to activate the seatbelt before driving, otherwise fast turns/sudden stops/speed in general will cause the survivor to get launched out of their seat, with high chances of getting launched out of the car and/or death because you forgot to put on the seatbelts.

Always remember to put on your seatbelt.

Stilts. Allows you to walk over acid terrain made by acidic/spitter/corrosive zombies… but your dodge skill and movement drops down severely. You can also see slightly better due to being in an elevated position. However, getting hit once has a high chance of toppling over, falling to the ground as if you fell down one z-level. Furthermore, getting back up takes forever.
On the bright side, wearing stilts gives a special reach attack where you kick with a stilt, up to maybe four or five tiles away. Also has a decent chance of toppling the wearer over.

We should rename SUVs ‘Station Wagons’.

Add limousines. Current bus length? 4 tiles wide?
Make busses longer and 7 tiles wide: 1 window, 2 seats, 1 aisle, 2 seats, 1 window.

Like zombies, robots also evolve into scarier forms overtime.
Liquid metal.
Chicken walkers are only the start.

Have a 1 in 10000 chance for a toilet to be a talking toilet, with full dialogue trees.
Running with a weapon out can cause you to trip and impale/shoot yourself.
The Penetrator (from SR3) as a weapon.
Add Heisenberg as a character, who sells 99.9% purity sky blue meth
A cat launcher
Able to use a pillow to smother enemies
Add a gun that shoots guns that shoots guns that shoots guns that shoots guns that…

That’s good idea. You can put out live bomb, too. One can also make note around the base to warn random NPC wandering by.

A culture system that the player can influence.
Get enough focus in honor and NPCs will go full samurai, including seppuku
Get enough focus in crazy and everyone becomes tainted meat cannibals or worse.
Get enough focus in “lazy” and they still send you on missions but they change to stuff like, “Get me some potato chips” or, “Physically push me onto a bed.”

Tbh chili pepper should be a viable crop.
It is common vegetable, so seed is not rare. It can grow in Hungary and Korea, so it is used to cold climate. Chili is ingredient to several kinds of in-game food, too.
