[0.17.3] Cliff Explosives are non-lethal

[azurill_used_splash]

When firing a cliff explosive at one's own feet, the explosion doesn't cause any damage to the player.

This strikes me as a bit unintuitive, but understandable if you want players to be able to use grenades in close-quarters combat. Being that a train hitting you will decorate the next quarter-mile with your remains, it seems like a significant over-pressure followed by a substantial amount of falling earth would be fairly deadly.

I'd say that's probably working as intended, as if the developers wanted damage from cliff explosives they could have just added the option to blow up cliffs with normal grenades. However, I think it's great that you submit a report for something you feel isn't correct, as it is possible that the developers just missed it, and that my understanding of it was wrong.

This was the behavior in 0.16, and I don't believe that the devs are likely to change it.
