where do you put your dirt u dont need ?

[Andrew Tate]

where ? i have so many small wood carts full of dirt and i really just dont need it

[MitoG]

i saw some gameplay where the player used a stockpile a bit further away

[Shane]

i landscape with mine, there is always massive areas where the world generation has created dodgy looking cliffs/hillsides, i make all neat n tidy

[Shiva]

You use dirt to build solid land in the ocean to make farms in efficiency areas. Aside from that, its all cosmetic. Dirt currently has no practical uses besides fertilizer (which doesnt really solve the problem)

EDIT: (and dirt ramps, but that dies about 4 days in)

I have a decent cliff face next to the ocean. I plant it on the edge of the cliff and it fall to it's doom. I assume it will pile up at some point.. Worked for Manhatten.

i refine dirt into dirt ramps

[Thyriel]

Let someone with no efficiency make dirt ramps. Miners always need them

[Kastuk]

It's for roadworkers landscapers. Bridges too.

Actually I'm using these big transport trolleys with 1500 capacity. Don't pin me on that.. but they can carry 5x or 6x 10 dirt. They are cheap to craft.

I was parking them in front of my home on a flat gras plain. There I let all of them. It's very nice. The trolleys are very small. If you need dirt for later terraforming.. it's all available in just no time. And the benefit of it: your storages doesn't look that dirty. xD

Now I try to dig a 2x2 tunnel into a nearby hill.. and a chamber. I let the trolleys there. But you need additional trolleys to store the dirt from tunnel. And you need some storage chests for the access-papers.

Next step is to dig that tunnel and chamber under my base. Accessible by a ramp. This way I can transfer all items from storages & chests to/from my underground-trolleys.

I often think about the movie "Wall-e" when it's coming to that. He build large skyscrapers out of trash so why not do the same with dirt ... :)

A more useful approach is, when you have the soil analyser. If you found layers/areas with optimal growth conditions for a certain plant you can use the soil to increase the area or correct it. Sometimes one layer up or down can change the growth from good to optimal.

You can also make new land at the coast. Sometimes there is only a large sand-layer over huge areas, so why not add two or three layers of dirt on them and start building or planting there. Although I was wondering if this could have a temperature effect on the planet or moisture in the air or something, but I guess not at this point.

You can also underfill areas with the dirt. Somehow all tiles, which have other tiles above them can't grow anything even if there seems to be enough moisture and temperature. Probably an effect of the simplified 2D layers. (I hope they change that at some point, e.g. some tolerance at the edges or even artifical light use).

[Kastuk]

Yep, with artifical ecosystem will be nice to roleplaying of postapocalyptic bunker survival with underground farms.

[minamikaze]

Why, you buld megaliths of course.

DirtHenge... I Love It !!

[Zenthar]

I load it in a cart and haul it to the nearest random hole in the ground. It's useful for filling in areas people fall in or have to walk around.
