it has no animation, does not even shit a brick, how does it damage enemies under it when holding the spacebar other than the heat already coming from it?

Presumably, the Melee attack uses the character’s Pickaxe to do damage rather than bullets or thrown rocks. According to
entities.lua the character’s
reach_resource_distance = 2.7 property allows this pickaxe to mine resources a few tiles away from the character’s location. It seems entirely reasonable that this same Pickaxe is able to do damage to enemies directly “underneath” while flying as well.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the report however I don't believe we will be changing this.
