We make bad suggestions and come up with horrible ideas

Organ failure, organ harvesting, and public surgery machines.

Churches should have pipe organs. Playing a pipe-organ will spawn and attract zeds, but play it for long enough with a high enough skill and you will become a vampire. Being a vampire is pretty cool, the zeds ignore you, you get to loot blood off of living animals(but only human blood has decent nutrition), and there are all sorts of cool powers(definitely turn into mist, that was always cool) but most vampires die or quit after they try to cross a river and become paralysed…

Bad search terms: Randomly while using terminals, you will get popups for things like “you hear a noise, continue?”, “The terminal is low on power, continue?”, “Your eyes are strained, continue?”, “You typed ‘therepist’ did you mean ‘the rapist’?”. Answering badly to these usually annoying “just skip it” messages may result in bad morale, loss of appetite, insomnia, paralysis, incontinence, an irrational fear of terminals, blindness, headaches, a sense of imminent death, anxiety, high blood pressure, a compulsion to seek out ever worse search terms, crippling morale penalties for failing to do terrible terrible things to zeds and N.P.C.s, suicide, despair, fear, loathing, greed, pride, sloth, envy, jealousy, wrath, gluttony, allergies to non-leather clothing…

Off topic, all of it!

I think the game needs some more exotic and absurd materials, particularly for vehicles. And why not melee weapons.

• marble plating (fancy)
• granite plating (opposite of fancy)
• [pick your DF rock mineral] plating
• plastic plating
• PTFE plating (birdcrap-be-gone)
• platinum plating
• aluminum plating
• cast iron plating (black, regardless of tileset)
• gold plating
• safety glass plating
• rubber “plating”
• kevlar plating (w/steel backing)
• titanium plating
• lead plating (heavy, requires only hammer to repair)
• ice plating (melts above 0C or, say, instantly at 5C)
• damascus steel plating (very fancy)
• brick “plating”

Edit:

• depleted uranium plating

Losing teeth should be a thing. A broken face should require dentures to fix. Dentures should be possible to build from various corpses with various features.
Zombie dentures which add increased eating speed(to simulate greater endurance) but a risk of injury during eating.
Bear dentures that sometimes stick to melee opponents, especially fun when those opponents are vermin…
Shark dentures that work very well but have a high chance to break.
Ant dentures that protect the face but reduce eating speed.
Spider dentures that horrify N.P.C.s.
Spider-bro dentures that mollify N.P.C.s.
Giant-worm dentures that…

Masturbating for morale boosts and stat buffs, along with, “Your right arm is sore” debuff, giving you 30 encumbrance in your right arm and hand.
Also, 'A’ctivating vibrators on friendly NPC’s and giving them stat buffs, and “slaked” attribute. Add new “Social Skills” trait for NPC’s, giving ability (and bonuses) to “assisted” stress relief.
Ability to have children with NPC’s and play that character when the original dies. Genetic mutation when inbreeding with related NPC’s. Could be implemented alongside my previous suggestion about genital mutations.
And genital mutations could pander to different NPC “fetishes”, such as “furry”, and “animoo”, for hung beast and tentacled, respectively.
Finally, excessive stress relief could cause death when done too often, and when in lategame and older age.

Edit’s inbred cousin-brother: the fuck is wrong with me? xD

Yes, well, using a vibrator while a rope or thread, or rags or anything flexible really, should include a chance of death. Autoerotic asphyxiation is no laughing matter! Not that people don’t laugh at it… I can understand laughing at the word “asphyxiation” though, it is quite the word. Somewhere out there there I am certain is a Scrabble-player who pulled off asphyxia at the least and felt pretty happy with themselves. Really, there should be a solitaire-master trait to add board/card games to the morale-buff list right along with vibrators. Ehh, solitaire-master is awkward… Solo practitioner? Self-satisfying? Broad-minded? Universal compatibility?

If you drink without checking the seals on the bottle/whatever, especially around sleazy bars, nightclubs, schools, etc. then there should be a chance of falling asleep and waking up next to a hulk.

When an eyebot takes your picture there should be a small chance to spawn a tank bot/chicken walker instead of the usual police bot/riot control bot.

Doesn’t this happen? I’ve seen a “leave this to the army” or somesuch message when I passed one while driving my APC.

When an eyebot takes your picture, there should be a chance that it challenges you to a children’s card game.

Genetic mutation when inbreeding with related NPC’s.

we have solution for that, mutagens probaly should be enought to fix that!

I got this idea after being exploded by chicken walkers three times in a row and losing all my characters in a given world.

Trench warfare!

If you dig a line of deep holes you can squat inside them and move about with your head ducked down so as to not be seen by the enemies.

We could also crawl to reduce the likelyhood of being spotted by an enemy, a crawling sniper wearing camo everything that takes sixteen hours to get into position moving an inch every few minutes to get that perfect shot would be really cool.

Off-topic. Needs multi-tile creatures to function well.

Worst classic ever. Good thread addition.
