Dirt

Whether it's nurturing agriculture or serving as the foundation for a mighty building, dirt is a fundamental part of any habitable world, thanks largely to how plentiful and permeable it is. So benevolent is dirt that it volunteers to cling to you wherever it can.

Dirt is very common and will become easy to identify early on (along with Mud, Clay, & Rock). Dirt is used in many crafting recipes such as ammo (all craftable ammo), building structures (walls fore & background), lighting, and many more. Dirt will remain useful through the entire game experience, right to end game.

Gathering
Dirt is a very common resource and can be found in all biomes. It is gathered using a Laser Pick

Appearance
It's appearance is based on the biome it is located in. It does not retain it's appearance when gathered from one biome and placed in another.
