d12 Cataclysmic Encounters & Weird Wasteland Locations

Are players bored of mud and bad food?
Just pop in one of these into any hex 

Sites might be buried and uncovered, hidden in nearby dimensions and returned or might just reappear from some temporal effect. These places will be contested by rival people

2 Industrial complex with ruined roofless factories and train tracks. Various open-top cars or minerals or scrap or fluid tank cars. Other ruined vehicles are scattered. Often a faction or colony of creatures inhabiting it. Silos of raw materials and refinery tanks line the tracks. In rare cases automatons move in, erect a fence and restore production.

Humanoids made in one factory are the same type and include d4 1=mindlinked flesh golems that kill every moving creature 2=automaton soldiers 3=abhuman soldiers 4=clone infantry all convinced they have sweethearts and a home they are defending programed by the conditioning machines

4 A cave is really the digestive tract of a kaiju with many people and creatures living inside it like parasites with even built shelters. The people are sure its safe for a bit longer

5 Airfields with huge ruined hangers with several aircraft and airship frames burned on the tarmac. Scavenging peoples often fight over rubbish mounds

6 Train graveyard in a field with nearly a hundred carriages and a dozen dead golem train wrecks brought here to use for spare parts. All kinds of critters and people live inside them or camp here

7 Monoliths of d8+1m high often of stone not from the area. Many have carved occur signs and these might glow if activated by touch.

8 Carnivorous plants, vegetation and plant abhumans of various types fighting over the colour of their flowers. A dark druid or a cult often lives here encouraging carnivorous plant monsters that enjoy alchemy-polluted soils. Many are attracted by the green which might hide a ruin but usually, explorers die fast 

9 Fungal bloom of giant mushrooms and toadstools, with mould and lichen and slimes. Various giant beetles and lizards move in then goblinoids and dark sprites and fungus folk

10 Alien crystals growing over an area or possibly from a geode underground sending up a splinter. Sometimes fast-growing crystals are short-lived and melt in the rain or certain auroras of miasmas kill it. Slower ones last longer and may have a crystal life ecology

11 Zone overgrown with alien flesh from Xor which overgrows a few acres for a d4 days before black sphere airships bomb it and seal the dimensional rift to the living world of flesh with koboldium bombs. After two  days mouths and eyes form on three days it spawns random fleshy monstrosities and weird abhumans on the fourth (d41=eye-folk 2=headless chest faced folk 3=one legged hopping folk 4=two headed folk)

12 Power Pylons are great 30m metal disks with four 12m high iron frames postds leaning inwards with crystal globes at the tops. When active these cracks and arc magic power.
