dirt generation glitch (i assume it is)

[leonideus]

when you dig once in a spot while having it surveyed and then click the make level button it reverts the ground to level but doesn't use the dirt. this theoretically allows you to create dirt via glitch. I have tested it on both dirt and grass. While it has extremely low chance of being significantly exploited since it would be easier to carry dirt it is very annoying if you have too much dirt and you now have to deal with more. In case anyone wants to accuse me of anything i searched dirt for the most recent 6 pages of bugs and originally discovered this bug trying to remove grass so i could pave with bricks.

Do you have a soil or stone stockpile on our near the surveyed area?
If yes: the material needed to fill the hole you made likely came from there.

It works as intended for me, no glitch, but I lost a few stacks of rare stones I was hoping to leave with.

if you have a stockpile on that area you selected to level, it will automatically use soil from that stockpile for that
this way people can do it faster, without having to move each time and pick these 10-50 pieces of soil depending how much inventory space they had

my apologies, seems it was taking stone, didnt know stone could be used as fill instead of dirt. Please delete this thread

Resolved, not a bug.
