Dirt Wall

Diggable wall. Toughness sets how many ticks the player must spend digging (weak=1, medium=3, strong=6). Hardness sets cave-in / dig-immune behavior: soft dirt regrows in dug-out cells at random (5%/tick, only when no actor is standing in the cell -- tunnels collapse behind you), medium is standard dig-only, hard cannot be dug at all and only explosions destroy it. Always blocks NPCs, projectiles, and lasers; explosions always destroy.
