There should be a “neck-bolts” C.B.M. that causes you to randomly gain energy when outdoors in thunderstorms…

10 cents per experimental release. Some people would make themselves broke VERY quickly.

Increases the chance of large groups of survivors all becoming hostile.

Be able to surgically remove an NPCs butt and attach it to a robot. Call it robutt.  
Moves quickly, flees from enemies but makes every attempt to stay within the reality bubble. Farts.  
Can be used to throw enemies off of your every trail, as it is audible, visible, and generates scent fields.

If a policebot falls into a manhole, your mood should become +25 or higher immediately and its symbol should become XD.

And, obviously, like all items, it needs stats for slapping people with it. Unless… Do fluids have melee stats? Would you need two different varieties, one a liquid, the other solid. You really ought to be able to distil potable water from any water-based fluid. And really, it should be possible to make floor-tiles out of pretty much any solid. Quicklime-tiles anyone? I wonder if you can make a kinetic gun that will throw any object that you can carry as though it had been propelled by a hulk hitting it. That does damage, right? I cannot help but think that all objects should have an energy rating for combustion purposes, with some items being flagged as “smoulders” or “high burning point” or “sublimates” or what have you…

I assumed kinetic guns meant like, a railgun or something and immediately worried how one might make one’s poop magnetic for firing successfully. DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS.

Combining gems and socketing them to weapons and armor to increase their power. An average player should wear about 48 clothing gems, 4 per each of 12 units of clothing. Each gemology level should give you a change to remove gems, combine gems of equal rank to raise their levels, and reinsert them. And while we’re at it, let’s socket NPC equipment too at higher levels.

A dominatrix scenario where you start with positive morale in a basement. An NPC starts out next to you, but stuck in place until you find and bring a knife over.

Krocodil, an expecially addictive painkiller that does severe damage to your arms when you use it. Also lowers your health enough to instantly give you a cold.

That’s actually a horrible idea in any context ever. I think you win something for that.

Unless you’re a cow. Then eating a magnet is a good way to not die from eating sharp bits of metal.

Just one though. Two magnets tend to stick your insides together and that’s NOOOOOOO GOOD. XD

Lol, cow mutants rejoice. Do you get free scrap metal and nails from doing this?

Arm Tentacles mutation activatable to achieve the same effect as Vibrator, with double fatigue cost.  
Appendictitis. Completely random occurence, needs hobosurgery or you die. Antibiotics delay progression.
