When I get to the end of an empty cave I want to kill myself....a rock...a stick...a broken pistol......ANYTHING! would be nice. Adding some junk would also make lots of Hummers show up for the modders. Empty stims would be good for that cause rocks are heavy and I like to mash G.
While inside caves text that says "You kicked something" when you enter a hex with something in it. Even better would be upon entering: "You hear noises" so I can skip the ones with no action. There is no empty random encounters...why caves? I don't care if its rats or whatever...Its the desert, there's gonna be something nasty in there. Extra special would be much higher increase of scorpion and (I hate to mention it) geckos when it gets dark.
"You see fresh tracks leading from out side..." -who knows?
"It smells awful in here" -put your game face on
"The cave shows signs of human activity, but not anytime recently" - no npc's...prob goodies
" " -next
-side note, I found an encounter once with a cave that wasn't VS someones name, but inside the cave he was dead. The one min I'm dead for is still MY encounter, right?
