Needful things (simple additions to improve the game)

Would it be reasonable to change acidic/spitter zombies so that pulping them doesn't spread acid? Having to either go out of my way to move the corpse and butcher it, or risk having acid splash onto me is annoying and doesn't add much to the gameplay.

I use it to my advantage. Smash an acidic zombie corpse between you and a horde to thin out the horde a bit. Like an acid bomb but slower. Even more effective if you have turnout pants and rubber boots. Also standing on a shopping cart or similar 1 tile boardable vehicle negates acid puddles.

It is supposed to force the slower butchering instead of fast pulping, to make necros more dangerous.
Though honestly, it causes more player tedium than the intended effects.

From what I know, the gimmick is generally well received.

How about this: pulping acidic zombies gets ~3 times slower, but avoids all blood spills in the direction of the pulper (and friends).
This would retain the gimmick, not be annoying, and not be hard to write.

Quick UI fix: Add a "Repair" option to damaged items, or optionally add functionality to "mend". 

I have a pair of boxers that are ripped:

Current: Open storage, dig out tailor's kit, realize that kit is empty, dig out second tailor's kit, open inventory and activate (or use %), select repair (material), select boxers, repair/enhance

Idea: open inventory, select boxers, select mend, prompt for tool (nearby), repair/enhance.

it would be good to be able to open the @ list of effects while sleeping or waiting.

Move the ammolinks from generic to magazine folder. It's kinda difficult to find them if you manually search for em

some sort of ingame checklist like a really basic day planner or shopping list.

basically where you could write down a goal and cross it off once you've done it somehow, i keep having the problem of forgetting what i was about to do when i get a fair bit into a game.

Using a washboard to wash a piece of leather, rag, etc, washes more than one item at a time (to me about five would seem appropriate). It seems silly that the same amount of detergent can clean an entire turnout coat as it can a single rag. And especially that an entire bar of soap can only clean ten rags or whatever before being depleted.

Alternatively, since the main reason to wash materials en masse is to craft, allow crafting with filthy items, get a filthy output, then we can just clean the end product.

I'd like to see:

Proximity sensor - for stationary (or not) lights at base- I'd like them to turn on when some zombies are close.

Twilight sensor - same as above, but turns on when it's getting dark.

Stationary recharging station - I'd like to refuel my electric car at base and I'd like to have an item to be build on one vehicle to be able to connect it to another one and to transfer energy. Preety much like jumper cable, but with MUCH HIGHER transfer rate.
