TL;DR

Make it more convenient to recover one's items after death by removing 'inventory full' problems from missing armor.

What?

Currently, when you pick up your corpse, you have to awkwardly grab your armor first before shoving everything back in your inventory. I see no reason why this should be the case, unless it is intended just to make it slightly harder to recover one's belongings from biters, which is already an annoyance. Instead, I propose that the player's armor should be automatically re-equipped upon mining their corpse, before attempting to re-insert their other items, removing that annoying 'inventory full' alert when you pick it up.

Why?

I LOVE that Factorio is pretty much the best game I know of as far as player convenience and QoL are concerned, and this has only improved with 2.0. I am well aware that there is already a mod that makes this tweak, but I see no reason why it could or should not be added to the base game with minimal effort; yes, it is a small change, but a positive one as far as I'm concerned.

I'm so sorry! I searched beforehand to try to avoid making a duplicate post on this topic, but I didn't see anything. Should I just delete this post, then? (I'm new here, sorry for the trouble!)

Don't worry moderators can merge threads, it did happened quite a lot already for this suggestion ,judging by all the different posts with different title on the thread Seem like there isn't 1 obvious way to name it

This is a great idea, and also it should restore the order your guns were in and what ammo they had equipped.
