Gravity damage

[foebits]

Is anyone else experiencing obtaining gravity damage (according to damage logs) from just mining on a ladder underground as a bug? Or is the game actually acute enough to consider the items dropped from mining rock to be missiles? I would assume the latter but I ask because it is very inconsistent. In terms of both if damage occurs on the ladder but also because it doesn't occur ever when not on a ladder.

I think it's an actual gameplay factor, since I've been bonked on the head a couple times when mining or felling trees. It's a very rare occurrence though, so I presume the blocks have a rather small hitbox and need to fall a minimum distance before the game begins to account for gravity. I'd wager it's also limited to certain blocks as well.

It happens when you build yourself into the ladder.  Don't let your head or feet be in the voxel where you are adding the ladder.

Never would have thought of the ladder being being deadly, considering you can get buried alive and never suffocate, but it does make sense with how the consistency was behaving.
