Yay! We have dirt! Fancy, store-bought dirt, the kind of stuff Moe just can't compete with! I'm really happy about this development, as it's something the player community has been asking to be implemented for a long time. :D

It seems there's some limitations on placing it though, I'm guessing there's some buildings and decorations that can't sit on dirt...anyone got any tips for that?

It's a glitch on the new land. If that's what you mean.

No, I seem to be able to place dirt on the new land fine, just when I go back to incorporate dirt into my town, some items just don't seem to let me put dirt under them.

you can? odd. but yay!

I can place it under two thirds Springfield dump. And when I try to put dirt down, then cross it with pavement, ALL the dirt vanishes. Why do they limit it like this?

Three things which I couldn't place the new dirt under are the canyon, Springfield mountains and the tyre fire....I wasn't sure if this was a glitch or meant to be?!

Yeah, that's what I mean, there are some odd choices to block dirt placement. Hopefully it's just a coding issue, and they'll get around to extending the items we can place dirt under.

I hope so, I never really liked the abrupt end to the canyon so I was hoping to use the new dirt to soften that a bit and add a more smoother transition to the items next to it...

Whoops, I spoke too soon, I think I had a couple blocks left over on the far right corner from the last land release, so I was placing dirt on that, but yes, I can see that I can't extend further, now. I'm sure that will be fixed soon, though.

Of course! That sort of thing is really what made people want dirt in the first place! :)

So is it only my game or has everyone experiencing this: You cant place the dirt roads on the new section of land?

Yeah, seems to be happening with everyone.
