I'm currently running a wild west themed short campaign for my players. Every time they leave the protection of the main town's to travel I want them to experience what a harsh barren wasteland this is. So what can I add to my d100 list of wasteland encounters?

This is some of what I have so far,
D100

1-30 (Duststorm) Con checks to not suffer exhaustion


31-50 (Encounter)


51-70 Harsh terrain. They travel as normal but need to consume 2 liters of water each or suffer a level of exhaustion


71-80 (Hunting) They see a group of fat desert boars ahead


81-90 Extreme Sun, the sun is especially hot as they travel, they will need to consume 1.5 litres of water per half hour of travel as they sweat.


91-00 They find a small Oasis where they can refill some of their water and some vegetation to eat.


This is the most basic list but I'd love to expand on it!

Two random rolls, one for weather/travel conditions and one for encounters (social, obstacles and combat). For example:

Conditions
1-3: Extreme heat, double water rations
4-5: Extreme cold at night, save vs exhaustion without appropriate shelter
6-8: Major storm, cannot make progress that day and must find shelter.
9-10: Minor storm, can make progress at half pace but must check or become lost
11: Lucky break, untainted oasis or easily foraged food
12: Fair weather, normal rest and rations

Encounters
1: Starving/dehydrated wastelander
2: Desperate band of wastelanders
3: Wild animals
4: Dense foliage (potentially monsters around)
5: Destroyed bridge/blocked pass (potentially monsters around)
6: Fouled waterway (potentially monsters around)
7: Large predator
8: [Monstrous humanoids of choice here]
9: [Fey/fiend/aberration/undead of choice here]
10: Wandering trader
