-- The algorithm here is useful for much more than dirt management. It can also
-- handle any kind of behavior for any node similarly to an ABM, *except* liquids.
-- The node must be in the `dirtspread_notify` group, and be registered somewhere.
-- If the node's logic changes it, make sure to use `minetest.add_node` in order
-- to make the update logic cascade.
