I haven’t seen any in the past weeks, but I’m pretty sure they still exist.

I believe the Android version patch is now part of the main repository of the game, so they update at the same time or something like that. (I’m not into the technical stuff).

I actually think that might be a good addition for whenever you get really low moral…

why not just give all zombies the resurrection ability 🤔

Cotard Syndrome trait

The character will take enormous morale hit (-50!) every time they eat/drink anything and the character won’t be able to drink/eat AT ALL if morale is below -100. Can be removed by taking antidepressants every 8 hours or so for a week

Potentially NSFW:

Penetrator Hulk - special post-grab “attack” penetrate. Causes massive pain and moral penalties.  
Unless you have the masochist trait; instead you get +9999 moral but it becomes almost impossible to gain moral bonuses as nothing else can compare.

The classic cloths melting sime.

Make some of the turrets in labs or elsewhere randomly have busted lights. They won’t be able to fire accurately on anything they can’t clearly see, but god help you if you get careless while stumbling through the dark.

Prisoner supervision bot. If it sees someone without a ball and chain attached to their leg, it attaches a ball and chain to their leg.

Sewers have a chance to contain invisible flammable gas pockets (methane). Using a firearm, energy weapon, or creating any kind of spark or flame while inside the sewers will ignite the gas, causing a massive explosion.

While we’re at it, could be include something similar for producing moonshine? Or Bio-diesel?  
For that matter, having an open container (bucket) full with gasoline should produce a similar result after a while.

Honestly, given bad item creep in the mid to late game, I think this could be kind of awesome. Once I’m geared up, practically nothing can hurt me or even damage my armour. A rust zombie evolved from corrosive zombies would be a neat way to pose a real threat.

Creeping plague of metal eating bacteria or rogue nanotech. Have it spread across cities like the fungus. You better not go in carrying anything metal.

You better not go in. Anyone with bionics will get an infection which will gradually destroy all their bionics. Should probably wash before going near anything metal after being in the contaminated zone too.
