some type of moth zombie. spawns in groups ONLY at night when you use a light source outside. size depends on the light source (headlights will spawn more than using a flashlight)

When walking through a farm field, there would be a random chance for a mound of dirt to be hiding a landmine.

If you are crafting something with explosives there should be a chance that it explodes it you make a critical fail.

Bring back the bug where as long as you’re wet you keep getting wetter, but as a feature. Carry a towel at all times or lose your feet to frostbite after stepping in a puddle.

Mutagens should have a random chance of causing bodily degradation. Teeth falling out, organs failing, etc. The only way to repair the damage is to take more mutagen and hope you regenerate the problem part before something else fails.

Also, add PT Cruisers.

Dental health with all it implies, including toothache. Suddenly those autodocs shift from luxury to a necessity. No-city start? Well, you asked for the challenge, you got it.

Add changes that occur over time in the world. Increased aggression, water pollution with hazardous chemicals, overgrown roads and houses, frequent acid or other rains, frost or high temperatures. Such changes take place, say, ten years after the portal cataclysm. It would be very cool to see the natural development of the history of the world, and not just the death of a character

It’s worse, you need to replace hazardous chemicals with sentient chemicals.

I suggest adding Russell’s Kettle as a mob and item (which comes with the Crazy Cataclysm mod). Once you play crazy, then play to the maximum. : D

What was the point of this post? Answering something from April? Did you aim for the “slowpoke” award?

make one of the post threshold plant mutations permanent rooting and have your character act as a impromptu fungal blossom with plants instead of mushrooms

Code it out to where when you pour a gallon of bleach on the floor in a house and then a gallon of ammonia on the same tile, the IRL chemical reaction is there in-game and you get increasingly dizzy and eventually pass out from fumes if you don’t get out of that room ASAP (my bionic agent did this recently in-game because they needed empty gallon jugs for Jerry cans and she was extremely surprised that absolutely nothing bad happened lol.) Also many other chemicals have negative reactions when mixed, would make people aLOT more careful which items they drop with this new nested system if as many were implemented as possible…

I mean technically I’d like to see somebody dig a bunch of pits on one side of a city and watch the reenactment of Verdun as the mustard gas swept in killing anything that wasn’t zombies.

@We_are_Alpharius48 See, that’s what I’m talking about lol. That Would be glorious, wouldn’t it. There are practical uses for such things, due to hostile NPCs and wildlife, but also very dangerous for your character if you do so incorrectly. I think it would be a cool addition tbh, but would likely commonly end in disaster what with people spilling things on thier own tile accidentally alot these days lol

Maybe I have posted this one already, but anyway: trying to repair vehicle tank (containing flammable liquid) while it isn’t empty should lead to obvious consequences.
