Dirt
Dirt is recorded by the official wiki as Terrain and 4 HP. Dirt is common 4 HP terrain and the primary documented source of Sand.
Confirmed Acquisition
Dirt is acquired as terrain rather than through a production recipe; its recorded yield is Sand. Deposit frequency, regeneration and guaranteed yield per area are not documented.
Production-Chain Role
Dirt has no documented upstream source upstream, no named dedicated processor as processing, and no confirmed byproduct downstream. These links define the documented chain, not an unstated quantity or optimal layout.
Entity-Specific Behavior
Dirt is common 4 HP terrain and the primary documented source of Sand. A Shovel can remove it quickly, while larger digging tools extract Sand faster; that comparison is qualitative rather than a published rate table.
Evidence Limits
Exact world distribution, Dirt-to-Sand yield, tool-specific mining rates, regeneration and biome or depth boundaries are unknown. “Common” and “faster” must not be converted into numeric guarantees.

Official wiki tip
Dirt is a relatively soft resource; it can be quickly dug by shovel, and bigger tools will extract Sand from it at even faster rates.
