Woo. Something in the past I never got to see just got resurrected.

Make it so if you use the dirt tool on someone it fills them up with your dirt, so you can have team relays.

EDIT: It'd also be cool that if you stepped on floating dirt it fell down. You could make cool tunnel traps.
Alright, I'll do that, and specify what you mean by floating dirt. Just dirt that doesn't have a bottom support? Or dirt thats completely unconnected to the ground?
Better idea: A dirt factory thing where you can change your dirt into differant things. Maybe a wander tool that changes the dirt you hit's function.
What would be a different function? Its all dirt.

Just dirt that doesn't have a bottom support?

Right.. then we would not be able to build tunnels maybe make it for completely floating bricks and a preference

Any brick that doesn't have a brick underneath each unit of it should fakekill when touched from above (do this by looping its downbricks and checking to see if the total amount of horizontal area is greater or equal to that brick's total area).

The solution to stopping that from happening is simple; tunnel ceilings that people will be walking on the top of just have to be two bricks thick to stop them from breaking when walked on.

It would also be nice to see some kind of proper support system (for instance you can have two units of bricks beside the top of another, like how pillars work in the Sims, without them collapsing) but that might be a bit much.

Just don't make any too drastic changes that would effect the I guess "feel" of gameplay


I remember one of the functions of the dirt tool in the old v8 Trench Wars mod.. Right click released a bunch of dirt all at once. Think that could be implemented as a RTB pref?

So there's a preference you set to dump all of your dirt?

RTB preferences are overrated. I don't know why you would want to toggle that. It'd happen anyway, turning it off would just make dumping dirt slower. I could, however, see a preference for whether or not players need to dump dirt.

I've created a /dumpDirt function for the next update.

Amade we know how much you dislike RTB please shoo.

So is this going to be like infinite mining but infineite trench diging?

Not at all.

I could just make it so if the Dirt Amount is set to -1, thats infinite.

V3 is out

If nobody have already suggested it, I suggest a bomb or some sort of item that clear a lot of brick in a specific area. A dynamite for example.
