Hmm, how about a trait that makes your stats rise and fall randomly? I don't know what it could be called, though.

Unstable genetics maybe?

I'm probably just having a horrible luck in general starts (the current a bit of an exception). I think the Specialty Zombies should either spawn after day one or originate from the lab locations.
Devices that drive a particular enemy type away from a location would be great too, with !!fun!! side effects of course ;) Things like a zombie deterrent devices that could be hooked up to radio towers. they could either give horrific side effects over long periods of time, or attact other undesirables.
Also another building type like diner would be neat.

I feel like were missing a couple of building types. . . .are there any grocery stores? I guess that when we get vehicles, car lots will be an option?

So I discovered you can abuse map travel to escape any foe.  Just did it surrounded on all sides by zombies.

This game makes for some hilarious stories. Like being dissolved by rain 2 map tiles from shelter. Hilarious.

Okay stupid question, since Map travel was just pointed out to me... Can you be knocked back down to the local screen if you run into trouble?
Also Yes, It seems that the stories that will come from this game will beat the Stalker Stories I love.

I've seen radio towers have controls. Can they be interacted with in any meaningful way yet?

No, sadly.

I know how to look at the map, but you can fast travel using it?

The Map Travel is actually a debug thing, not a game mechanic.
