[15.3] Difficult to loot corpse when died on Ore

I have not tested this in 15.4 or .5 but in 15.3 in a multiplayer game I died on a coal ore field. when I went to loot my corpse I was only able to select the coal ore tiles beneath the corpse. I was finally able to loot the corpse by placing belt beneath the corpse and removing the belt. Once the belt was removed it seemed to default to the corpse outline.
My expectation is that no matter where the corpse dies it gets selected before any other element. In my opinion a corpse full of items is much more valuable than really anything else that could be near it.

If you die on the center of a railroad track your corpse becomes UN-interactable unless you mine the track, which would only work if you have privileges/correct force.
My guess for the quickest fix would be to slightly increase the selection box size for corpses.

I had a similar difficulty mining my corpse. Most of the time it was easy, but one time it was seemingly impossible to mine.
Two things were occurring for me...
One was that it was hard to select, and after about a minute of trial and error, hovering over one foot of the corpse allowed me to mine it.
The second issue was that as I was mining it, aliens were swarming around me, and my mining was being reset because the cursor selected the aliens for mining when they would walk through it. Sometimes it flickered and seemed to mine the aliens briefly as they ran by, and some of the time I had to restart mining if too many aliens went through. I stood still and had teammates draw the alien attention, so I wasn't moving my cursor at all.

Including tracks, and such? I guess higher layer priority?

Yeah. I added a new prototype property to entities to determine selection priority.
