Nope, you always play in the same world. Honestly its one of my favorite parts of the game.
-When furniture comes into play, how about gas burners in kitchens? Can be a replacement for hotplates. Portable gas burners also exist IRL, and might double as bashing weapon or explosive 
How about making a mini-burner with alcohol, a can and string?
To be honest, it took me forever to figure out you could fill hotplates with batteries. Despite spending a ton of time camping and living on the move, I've never heard of a 'hotplate', and just assumed it was some sort of gas-powered camp stove, and since I never found any gas to refill it, that I had to find a new hotplate every time I needed to cook.
The concept of a stove powered with batteries just sort of escaped me.
So yeah, proper camping stoves (and even grills and barbies and actual stoves in houses!) would be pretty cool, and give more reasons to visit gas stations (even if the type of gas we're talking about isn't gasoline and that doesn't really make sense).
Oh, a question for you all. Am I the only one who grabs zombie corpses and carries them away from my house? As far as I know you can't get diseases from them (yet?), but I like to keep my resting area putrid-free. Also it makes for a photoscenic kind of thing, with piles of zombie corpses at your doorstep.
I butcher them and then pile all the pieces and burn them in the road a short ways down from my shack. Considering still whole zombie corpses can still be a real honest to goodness threat on account of how they can come back to life, dragging them off is the LEAST of what you should be doing.
