	The character's maximum [[Damage\|health]] is 250 (without energy shields). The player's health can naturally, slowly regenerate a few seconds after taking damage, at 6 hit points per second. The character's main inventory has 80 slots (without bonuses from [[Power_armor\|power armor]], [[Toolbelt_(research)\|toolbelt research]], or [[Logistic_robotics_(research)\|logistic trash slots]]). Similar to the stationary radar, the character constantly reveals an area of 5×5 [[Map_structure#Chunk\|chunks]], centered on the chunk the character occupies.

	In other words, ~~the Player~~ is a term that encompasses both the internal code that defines a player, and the entity in game that interacts with machines/rocks/trees, which is the ''character''. While this distinction is important for modding and understanding the game's core, the terms can be used interchangeably for most conversations. For the purpose of this article, "player" will be used.

If the corpse has a lot of other stuff in it, simply mining the corpse is likely to pick up only as much as will fit in the player's naked inventory and ~~fall~~ to pick up the ~~armour~~.
