No dirt in the desert?

[Melusane]

I am playing on Tecton map, and it looks like I cannot grow anything because I can find only sand?

[КрендельФигов]

Apparently there won't be dirt on Tecton

PS This is not good.

Thank you for your answer КрендельФигов. In this case, they should have made possible to grow local plants in sand crop plots in the desert.

Sometimes dirt can be obtained as a reward for completing SMPL3 missions available in the CONT4CT Device.

Can you not order a delivery of dirt?
Make a dirt block and the dig it to create more dirt? It doesn't run out so you can keep using it.

I thought it was an "exploit"...
However,
They must have thought of it too...

I believe they "allowed" it...
To have "infinite" dirt...
From^ just "one" order...

I guess we'll see...! :D lol
It's just a game after all...
Unless... >> ( hmmm...)

I've found dirt in deserts (Olympus). Try digging where grass grows.

You need better reading comprehension. Quite clearly not playing on Olympus

You and the OP need to employ common sense. Why would you find Dirt where clearly only SAND would exist? So before you want to get nasty with people check your own logic.

The guy is absolutely right. I needed dirt for some foundations while building a way station in the NE desert on Okympus. I tried digging over a plot of vegetation and got dirt instead of sand, so The Klang Is Good is correctional

I have found dirt on the Cactus outpost map, yes! Right under a palm bush. I'll have another look on the Tecton map now that I know where to look!
