Dirt is OP

First block you mine, best item in the game. With enough of it, you can fly, defeat any enemy, climb any mountain, traverse any gap, troll any of your friends.

I know this is nothing new; this was also the case in Minecraft and Terraria; still, it would be cool if this was not the case.

Sadly, all I can do is complain; I have no solutions to offer (sorry)

 

One solution would be to enable enemies to break blocks. Or don't allow players to hit enemies through blocks. However, this would also probably require a lot of rebalancing of the game, which would be pretty much impossible in the current state without the ability to cheese mobs with walls.

 

Pretty sure the hitting through blocks thing is just a beta issue.

 

its not hard to disable weapon strike through walls. It would just be a matter of assigning melee weapons a parameter which is solid when it comes to other solid elements like dirt. thus it can't go through, but it can cause damage to the element.
