Not enough soil to plant here (B42)

[NeW.B|NOX]

Hi guys, any idea why i couldn't DIG FURROW while I had my gardening trowel? When I clicked on tiles (outdoor), it showed "Not enough soil to plant here."

Even though I had "Sack of Dirt" in my inventory, but there is no option to "pour out dirt".

What should I do? Thank you.

Its in the build menu. Making a soil floor is dealt with in the same way as laying a carpet or floor tiles now. Just search in the build menu for floors and you should find it.

In B42, with sack of dirt in inventory, go to the "Building Menu" > Outdoor tab > Search "Dirt Floor".

I see. I found the building menu, thanks a lot.

Actually, it is a grass tiles before, after I make the tiles into sack of dirt, it become brown soils, after all I could not pour the dirt onto the tiles.

That's why when I click on the tiles, it said "Not enough soil to plant here", can't even digging a furrow. It is still same when I am using the BUILDING MENU.

Any idea? Thank you in advanced.

P/S: the tiles that I did not touch, still can dig furrow and pour dirt, only the tiles which I got the sack of dirt not working.

If you removed soil from a tile then there is no soil to plant in. You arent removing grass as such, you are taking the soil floor away. If you poured the soil back out onto those tiles with the build menu then you should be able to dig a furrow.

@Banzai thx again! Will give another try, seems like farming & digging is better at B41, because I could pour back into same tiles (with soils) and dig a furrow.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can place a dirt floor on top of a tile you've taken dirt from.
My standard practice for building a wall that's one tile thick or more is to remove the dirt, put the dirt back, and then place a wooden floor (since that's what worked in B41 to prevent plant growth).

But when I tried it in B42, I could not place a dirt floor on the tiles I'd taken dirt from. I ended up having to put the dirt in a random parking lot near my base in order to free up sacks.

@stevasaur, thanks for sharing too. Here I found a solution! Which is put the GRAVEL onto a tile, then put the DIRT onto the same tile (with gravel), finally I can dig a furrow on it!

@Decadance, no problem, still a lot of things need to be explored in B42.
