How to read defenses and loot

Defense is damage ignored; a weakness shows the extra damage taken. Loot chance is the probability that one freshly spawned NPC carries at least one of that item.

Why the Oil Rig Scientist shows 150 health

Its dedicated-server prefab lists 150 health, the same value as the other roaming scientists.
