No torso, no backpack slot. If the player grows a third arm/hand, they get a 3rd hand slot. -**Nath** also setup some basic clothing to pair with the inventory rework. So similar to the limbs, if a player is wearing a jumpsuit, they will notice two pocket slots in their inventory ui. If they remove their jumpsuit, the pocket slots will be removed. In fact, they remain attached to the jumpsuit. So if you placed an object in your pocket and removed the jumpsuit, the object stays in the jumpsuit. Articles of clothing are now searchable containers and different types will have different quantites of pockets in the future. +**Nath** also set up some basic clothing to pair with the inventory rework.

Currently gloves/shoes must be equipped separetely due to the constraints of the system as is, but we intend to make that more intuitive in the future. Also some bugs to fix.

# Basic Health -**Nath**, inspired by past medical systems we had, wanted to make something more robust and is doing just that based on our [recent designs](https://ss3d.gitbook.io/design/entities/health){:target="_blank"}. The system uses a combination of body-parts and body-layers to create a modular health system. +**Nath**, inspired by past medical systems we had, wanted to make something more robust and is doing just that based on our [recent designs](https://ss3d.gitbook.io/design/entities/health){:target="_blank"}. The system uses a combination of body parts and body layers to create a modular health system. Body parts are what they sound like, that's the character's limbs, head, torso, organs, etc.. They are fully autonomous networked objects. The only special body part is the brain. If the brain dies, the character dies. -Body layers are essentially the separate sub-systems within the character. Body layers have their own health (can be damaged individually) and will eventually have special behaviours. A human has several biological sub-systems such as muscular, nervous, skeletal, circulatory, and organs which all work in various ways to keep the human alive. Where as a cyborg may have various electrical sub-systems that keep them operating (cyborgs not implemented yet). +Body layers are essentially the separate sub-systems within the character.

Whereas a cyborg may have various electrical sub-systems that keep them operating (cyborgs not implemented yet). -He also added detachable limbs and different types of damage; brute, energy, chemical, oxygen loss. Body layers can have resistences or vulnerabilities to different damage types. Damages all behave the same, they contribute to the total damage amount of a body part, but also have their own stats. If the body part takes enough damage it is destroyed simply vanishes (for now). Body parts can be severed however as long as it is not destroyed first. Severing hands prevents the character from using hands in any way. Severing feet currently prevents the character from walking/running. If the head is severed, the "soul" stays with the head since that is where the brain resides. If the brain dies somehow the soul becomes a ghost. +He also added detachable limbs and different types of damage; brute, energy, chemical, and oxygen loss.
