Add flan, and make it a powerful throwing weapon.

Then add a special game mode where you can arm plenty of NPCs with said flan and have a flan war

Somewhere I was given a comedic routine that involved THE FLAN as a horror blob creature. Thinking it was from You Don’t Know Jack or somesuch?

The All Terrain All Hazard Armor, or ATAHA for short. Made from an entry suit, a hazmat suit, a rebreather mask, and a suit of Rivtech armor, which functions as all of those things. It is specifically made for entering the next suggestion…

The Nether. You know, where all those extra-dimensional creatures are coming from. The terrain is a new tile that acts like water, where you drown without breathing gear. It is also highly radioactive, filled with smoke and poison gas, and on every third tile is a Netherum creature. The ultimate battle for survival!

Yeah, but instead, I throw in my suggestions that sound cool but that nobody is going to make. That way they are read in a context that makes them seem funny. Hopefully, people will remember them and maybe decide to make them.

Similarly, I was actually hoping somebody might find a pair of traits that affect how strongly weather affects your perceived body temp might not be completely awful. It’d have to work independently from any of the cold-blooded mutation traits, though…

Australia Mode would be unfairly difficult, even by roguelike standards.

Why not limit ourselves to only vehicles? EAT TABLE! EAT WALL! EAT BLOATED ZOMBIE! EAT ZOMBIE BRUTE!

And so in the future, people would start the noble sport of Hulk Building: create buildings using Hulks to throw stuff in other stuff 😃

I Think is Australia Mode all animals (and z-variants) should be deadly venenous! So not only you have to be care with zombies, but the local fauna is equally dangerous!

And add Sentinel! Make that +4 str mutation come with consequence!
