Show players Health above each character, if they have shields show those too. Have an option to toggle it.

Now that pvp is getting some love, this would help everyone realize how much damage they are doing (or not doing *Yellow Ammo*)
I have seen too many people get frustrated that they throw everything they have at a player with armor and then quit saying this game is not meant for pvp.

Let factorio pvp be a thing!

Shouldn’t the health/shields bar be below the character just like every thing else in the game

An optional health indicator would need to be either a server or map based setting. Because it is a significant strategic advantage compared to not having an indicator. For shields i'd just display them in a different color, no need for double bars. Multicolor bars layered on top of each other are standard in most RPGs now.
