Fix expensive blocks/shops being pickaxe magnets

    For some reason, the game currently assumes that if you miss your swing while mining, you meant to destroy the nearest spike, team tunnel, or stone door. It's extremely frustrating and I've seen the killing blow to a tunnel be an accidental swing by a builder. It doesn't matter if these "special" blocks are behind you when you miss; they're getting the axe. To add injury to injury, the dynamic blocks susceptible to this behavior are generally the most expensive.
    So basically, if my cursor isn't on something, or at the very least, if I'm facing away from it, I'm not trying to mine it, and the game shouldn't assume I am.

    Also, when you want to break spikes, it breaks the hard block next to it, or the backwall, or the door next to it.

    Highlighted already, or no, it's a pain in the dick, and also happens with the jank of picking things up.

    It would be nice if we could customize the item priority in the settings. Then you could choose which items are auto-targeted when you press the pickup key instead of having to deal with the current priority. I agree about breaking blocks, the auto-aim needs to be tweaked.

    I really hate that I have to break everything within a 2-3b radius of platforms and the backwall behind the backwall behind the platform to get to the platform.

    Yea, this is basically one of the things I miss from classic. Building not being clunky as fuck. Now the game will bleat at you and display a cryptic arrow if you don't get block placement JUST RIGHT, and yet removing things is like chiseling with a nuclear warhead.
