We make TERRIBLE suggestions and come up with horrible ideas (Round II)

[Vastin]

Dealing with major threats by ramming them with large vehicles is traditional in CDDA, so I don’t see why not?

[EricAlvin]

• All guns have a 50% chance to backfire and insta-kill the player, and only the player can backfire.

• When running, accidents can occur with items in your inventory (Containers spill, Weapons fire off, Explosives Detonate, etc.)

• Zombies resurrection time is changed to thirty seconds.

• All zombies eventually evolve into thrillers

• A cure is added and can be found at the starting shelter. If you activate it, a victory message plays, the game ends and credits roll.

• Global Warming is added. After using enough fuel, everything starts randomly catching fire and it becomes summer permanently.

• Copywright Bots are added, and appear everywhere. They don’t do anything on their own, but if a reference to another game appears in the reality bubble (such as a manhack or a boomer), you die instantly and the world is deleted for infringement.

• Multiplayer is added, but only as a $60 battle royale dlc.

In call of cthulhu some Danish Fishermen rammed a boat into Cthulhu’s face and made him enter a coma/get knocked out and sink into relthyg

All 9mm defense turrets in labs are replaced with
Depleted Uranium Slug Automated Defense Emplacements (DUSADE) that fire 10 rounds of uranium slugs at anyone in a 25 tile radius with almost no chance to miss, and have 2,500 health.

(If you want context of some DU, a article mentions it as “…makes hardened steel shatter like glass…” “…it simply just melts metal like putty…”

[TheZoneWizard]

Have “Escort” quests with um…“Escorts”. You trade goods for the value. You find a bed someplace and the area gets a “Censored” black bar over the business at hand. You get a positive morale buff. If you have a sound pack it plays BOW CHICka Wow WOW! music lol

[QuietCoyote]

Everything becomes “The Thing”

(High hit points, high armor, very competent fighter, and worst of all- no crits). Met a friendly dog in a cave and should’ve known better to just blast the the thing into space, ended up almost dying once the tentacle dog turned into the thing as my attacks we’re doing 7 -8 damage on a crit, with hooves, fangs, and a ironshod quarterstaff, with a martial art stance meant for stunlocking and very high damage output…

Huh. I just shot the piss out of it with a longbow.

[QuietCoyote]

Probably would’ve been a good idea, but my UPS ended up breaking after some antics in a lab (nanofabricator with skeletal jug and tripods… not fun) and didn’t have a replacement, so it was basically just wading through hell to fight the beast.

[Invalid_Username]

Actual longbow, not the magic one I have now. Should’ve specified.

[QuietCoyote]

Oh yeah, I figured, I just got into a lab early game and basically found a laser sniper and fusion launcher, along with a pistol. Kinda have a big reliance on the whole UPS thing, and it suck it only has 1000 charges if battery.

Anesthetic kits & UPS cbm are on my wishlist rn…

More realistic breathing mechanics.
Press a button to breath in and another to breath out. Forget to do this for too many turns and you suffocate!

[Bobdole44]

Tin cans require a can opener to open, and specifically a can opener

Shout outs to Manual Samuel.

[Wondabarappa]

Boomers now exclusively drop energy drinks and make loud sipping noises every few rounds

[Slax]

Ye Scots Beuk o Cuikery.
Learning a single recipe from that book will give all in-game messages a heavy Scottish accent for a week. You just… can’t get it out of your head.

[TheZoneWizard]

Or a multi-tool.

There was a bit of discussion about this a long while ago. I think I brought it up I can’t remember. But anyway. It would be great to have this feature. Lotta canned goods do not have pull tabs. Especially vegetables.

Most canned veg would require a tool. 99% of tomato stuff in a can requires one too(not just peas, potatoes etc.). B&M Brown Bread with or without raisins(although the raisin one is great). Toasted it tastes even better + butter

Only canned crap that use pull tabs are meal/entree pre-made stuff. So any type of soup. Lasagna Chef boyardee stuff.

Zombie pheromone causing nearby zombies to become neutral, but not friendly.

[Mantar]

There was a fair bit of discussion about can openers, but I recall someone also posted a video of a guy successfully opening a can by scraping it back and forth on concrete.

[crazykiddeath]

You can also use pretty much anything relatively sharp and slender, I cut a can of corned beef open with a pretty blunt carving knife once after the bit you attach the key to snapped off, not sure I’d want to try it with a can holding liquids though

edit: you can do liquids by punching two holes in the top and widening them with a spoon or something though.

[Mantar]

The concrete guy did a can of soup, and just stopped scraping when liquid began to seep out, then he flipped it over and pried the top off. It worked surprisingly well.
