Monster idea: much like with the ratking, we need a mooseseseses monster, a bundle of moose that may or may not use the correct plural of moose.
Though a “moose” monster that is in fact plural would be hilariously confusing.
EDIT: Also, here’s an idea that’s bad mostly due to potential complexity. A circadian rhythm property that skews the relative “ease of falling asleep” and “how quickly tiredness is reduced while sleeping” properties depending on the time of day, making it easier to sleep at night and thus making it harder to become nocturnal. o3o
I feel like for the average Cataclysm Survivor that would be pretty survivable, given it would probably just throw you from the vehicle unharmed. Certainly be preferable to being in the vehicle when it slams into something and results in an explosion larger then the average city block.
If I could rig it to extra explode on impact and then bail while it’s going 923849324 mph, HELL TO THE YES. But we need to add directional sight so I can get the morale bonus for walking away and not looking at the explosion afterward.
And if made friendly, they can be used for healing after a good beating. But they’d be subject to the same problem, of not fully realizing that now is not a good time to break out the scalpel and anesthetic.
Rarely when setting off an alarm after breaking into a store it’ll summon Sputnik instead of a regular eyebot. It plays uplifting (morale boosting) Soviet marching music but will also take your picture, making you wanted by the secret police. Everytime it does this after the first it summons a Stalin Bot to arrest and assault you (in that order).
Edit: I come up with weirdest ideas in the shower.
