Therefore, survivors who prefers to stay cooped up in their bunkers will soon find triffids/fungus/slimes/etc knocking on their front doors. If the survivors won’t come to monsters, the monsters will have to come to the survivors.

This is planned actually.[/quote]

Option to rip a door of its hinges and use it as a weapon.

This is the We make bad suggestions and come up with horrible ideas not the We make kind of good small ideas thread.

I could see it happening if you got high enough strength.

</div>

But it’s an awful suggestion! A door would be a horribly impractical weapon, whether you look badass wielding it or not. It could be a decent makeshift shield, but shields aren’t and probably never will be a feature of CDDA.

I DDA everything is a weapon regardless of how practical it would be. So why not doors?

Mostly because you can’t actually rip a door of its hinges unless you’re The Incredible Hulk.

Hence the high enough strength with things like the hydraulic muscle CBM and strength mutations (easily something like +24 strength without thresholds +27 in some post thresh categories), I can see you being able to pull off doors and use em to beat up Z’s.

I know how to get high enough strength, apart from hydraulic muscles you essentially would look like The Incredible Hulk (but with less of the green-ness) to have such a high strength.

Is that an assault rifle made from banana(s) or an assault rifle that shoots bananas?

Yes. We should have this. The Cataclysm would not be complete until we have over-glorified potato cannons that can fire just about every manner of absurd objects at zombies, NPCs and small woodland animals.

Banana mags for your AK. Whether it’s a 30 round mag or an actual banana is a 50-50 chance.

Someone needs to make that mod, where food such as fruit, meat, alcohol, milk, and other organic substances, are used for everything in the game, from vehicles and weapons through buildings to creatures and tools.

Of course everything belongs to a new nether race of meat-filled walnuts with banana limbs.

[quote=“SeigeLion, post:850, topic:3101”]Expanding on my don’t sleep near cats idea

There’s a chance the cat will instead sleep on your face, suffocating you in your sleep.  
Usually you will wake up but there is a small chance the RNG will decide you stay asleep and die instead.

Having woken up to a cat on my face, its quite a disorientating experience, although I did shortly fall back asleep without moving the cat and woke up completely fine.[/quote]

Here’s an actual idea: When you sleeping near a cat, there’s a chance to wake up in the middle of the night to it slapping your face.

Sleeping randomly puts you in dreamland. Depending on your morale (and RNG), you end up in a huge store full of power armors or in a minefield full of hulks.

If you die in your sleep, you wake up with a hit to morale. Same if you put on the power armor and then realize it was all a dream.
