Maybe we shouldn't be worrying about Rule 0's
chutzpah, since Rule 0 only takes effect when there's
an SOE.  Instead, how about we modify the Chutzpah
rule to say that Rule 0 is exempt and always takes
priority?

I considered making a few changes to Rule 0's text, too, but I figured it's best not to muck around with such sensitive stuff during an emergency.

This does away with various things necessary for the
mining rule to work.  I know the mining rule is turned
off right now, but to take away the 3-D provisions
will make turning it back on more work than it has to
be.

I too want a 3D grid; however, all the props/rules I've seen so far just cause confusion and/or lots of bugs. Lots of rules are dependent on a 2D grid. I personally think the best way to go about things is to create a new 3D space (maybe 10x10x10 to keep it manageable), and migrate the rules to affect it.

Since the 3-D stuff isn't in any way an emergency, why
not leave it alone for now and work on the mining prop
over time?  It's not like anything can dig holes at
the moment.

I'm trying to fix instabilities, and I think that an undefined/semidefined/misdefined grid is an instability.
